ATL: ISAAC - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[Anthysteg00]

Wow! Frictional forces attributed to the land mass of the Northern Gulf appear to have really tightened up. I am extremely concerned by this trend even though Isaac is so close to land. I am out here in bay st louis, MS and the band we just got was strong. Is it just me or does Isaac appear to be really getting his act together?

I'm also concerned that he appears to be trending ever so slightly East of the forecast points I am wondering if this is a potential result of the storm tightened and getting stronger? Any professionals around who can answer my inquiry would be much appreciated.

any guess to pressure on the next pass / fix....??? I am thinking 970mb myself....or lower...

Looking at the radar, it seems to be making a decent attempt at forming a nice eye, so probably right.

Weather is deteriorating here in Bay St Louis MS. It appears with almost certainty now that a strengthening Hurricane will make landfall in Southeastern LA and the MS gulf coast! I fear we may feel the effects and results of a cat 2 cane despite a #1 rating.

Coming up on biloxi rain finally moved in and winds have steadily increased gusting to 50+ at times.

It is crazy how hudge the overall size of Issac is and it is only a cat 1 hurricane

[windnrain]

93 KT FL winds

How are the conditions in New Orleans

[thetraveler]

Just saw a sustained wind at 62MPH with a gust to 83MPH at the MC311 Apache well site just west of the center

How are the conditions in New Orleans

A few passing showers, but the wind is steadily increasing from the NE and ENE. Sustained at about 30-35 with gusts over 40.

93 KT FL winds

is that sustained or gusts

Looking at the latest sat pics, Isaac really looks as if he has finally gotten rid of most of the dry air and really getting his $#it together. WV looks better than it has all day. If this was another 100-200 miles offshore we would be in some serious trouble. But regradless if he stalls like some models are showing it could be plenty bad enough, especially if he starts strenghtening more than forecast.

Stay safe

Really nice hot tower is firing over the center according to the most recent sat pic update at 19.15 UTC. I believe Issac may be making a move towards category two hurricane status...

Think he might make a cat 2?

First feeder band brought 0.63" in about 1 hr. here in Long Beach, MS.

Usually when they report that it's sustained, I thought.

We had a pretty nasty band come through Hattiesburg/Laurel a few minutes ago. Very heavy rain and pretty gusty.

I think it could easily make cat 2. He already has the pressure for it. But as you said, if he has the time over water.

How many mile is the center out from land

[crimi481]

Heard talk on air waves -that high pressure will replace the weakness to Isaac's N. then west in time
So does that bring into play Isaac making a counter clock Loop in Gulf?

Is it a sure thing Isaac will ht coast in LA or any state? (over next 2-3 days0
