ATL: ISAAC - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[Jevo]

Rotation is starting to show up nicely now on the long range Key West radar.... Using GR-3 I believe I pinpointed to the red circle.. anyone else with the software care to confirm that... the other possibility is the white circle

Well, I'm solidly in the new 5 day cone of uncertainty.

Then you will probably be fine. That is the best place to be 5 days out, just ask the folks east of PCB, lol.

We are now less than 3 days from landfall, about 70 hours away according to NHC.

If I remember correctly, Katrinia was a real slow mover in comparison to Isaac?

I'm well aware of Long Beach. Drove through there taking photos of the damage after Katrina. Unbelievable devastation. This will be no Katrina, most likely. Could go in to your west, meaning possibly 10-18 foot surge into Pass Christian/Long Beach. Too much uncertainty as to its wind field size and organization to be confident on surge height. Prepare for the worst just in case. Not much difference in forward speed compared to Katrina. Little slower.

Ugh, not happy about the shift west either. Although we're far removed from the coast we'll be to the east of the center and that will likely bring heavy rains and t-storms over our area just in time for Labor Day weekend (first stretch of time I've taken off work all year, of course).

Of course, that's nothing compared to the potential impact of the coastal areas. I hope folks are watching the advisories and getting their plans in motion.

A few more frames have come in.. Im about 95% certain it's the red circle now.. This should help with the wobble watching

looks to me like your red circle is the southern 2/3 of the developing eye, Ive been following it on wunderground's key west radar and the center seems quite apparent.

looks like a true center forming within the broad center on my gr2..your screen shot looks very similar to what i am seeing on gr2

It looks like the red circle is the center to me, too. That's the spot that everything seems to be rotating around. Of course with spotty convection radar can be deceiving.

CDO building quickly...here's a comparison between 4 hours ago and now.

[Aric Dunn]

yeah jevo thats it.

[wxwatcher1999]

am i seeing things?....it looks like it is moving due west

When will the Recon get there?

I'm well inland, up near the Ohio river, so I won't be getting H winds, but we did get smacked pretty hard by Ike. Lots of tree and power line damage, some structural damage in the area. Winds were only in the 40s and 50s then, but I'm beginning to wonder if we might get a repeat of that.

[galaxy401]

Recon should get there in about 30 minutes to the center. Wonder if they'll find an eye or not.

[SNOW_JOKE]

LLC definitely with the red-circle and the first signs of a eyewall beginning to take shape within the circulation. CAT1 for the keys is a confident estimate given the moisture plume being injected into Isaac from the Atlantic, the same plume that's giving the FL Peninsular the 50mph gusts in places.

Another 6mph and Isaac will be CAT1.

[HurricaneAndrew92]

2pm intermidiate should be interesting.

[Portastorm]

When will the Recon get there?

You can find out about this in our Recon and Recon discussion threads. Head on over for more info.

[tropicwatch]

Isaac appears to be wrapping up nicely.

Thanks....hopefully it won't sit so long over the area and spread some rains where they are really needed. Our AM temp this morning was just 72, compared to 79 last year, same date. We are running a few degress lower (and not quite as humid either) as we were a year ago, in general.
