EPAC: ODILE - Remnants

[RL3AO]

sure that was not 180 kmh?

What? They use Murican units in Mexico don't they?

[CaneCurious]

sure that was not 180 kmh?

I am not sure. I am just relaying the info my mom gave me. She is going on 2 days with NO sleep so she may have been mistaken.

[supercane4867]

Warm waters in the GOC seem to be helping

[Yellow Evan]

Def. Would not shock me if this is a hurricane again tomorrow.

[galaxy401]

Arizona will need to keep a close eye on this hurricane. It's holding its structure nicely.

[Andrew92]

With the way it keeps going right of its projected path, any chance it turns northeast sooner than forecast?

I'm sounding like a broken record, but for real, I really, Really, REALLY don't want a repeat of Norbert here!!! (on second thought, am I sounding desperate?)

-Andrew92

[kimkolwiek]

Looks like phoenix will recieve about 3 inches of rain. It will help the drought look at the positive aspect.
I wish that Southern California would get some of Odile's moisture - we need it!

I totally don't blame you! New Mexico looks like they are going to get a torrential down pour over the next 10 days.

Yeah, it will help with the drought, but I don't want it all at once like we got with Norbert. Plus on top of it the fact that it might rain just about every day this week, and we really could be looking at a lot of flooding.

It's a very legitimate concern around here.

Well, let's wait and see. There is always a possibility that Odile will change its path.

Really? It only proves that more people can't wait for some rain in SoCal

They are posing so many Water restrictions on us its ridiculous. Not allowed to water grass, only allowed so many gallons per day...
I know with us getting rain that it will mean flooding and landslides but we need the moisture so bad. They are putting pool builder out of business because we are not allowed to fill a pool now. Heavy fines are associated with it. Please send us some rain! Besides the fact that I miss living in a place that actually gets a mysterious thing called "weather".

[kimkolwiek]

You are right, it's a difficult time for us living here. I haven't seen a drop of rain since May

-Andrew92

What did Norbert do to your backyard?

Almost nothing from the news on Odile here. I give the MSM a big fat F for this TC. TWN for us gave 10 seconds maybe for it, the rest was for rehashed & old non-weather stuff...no words...

It looks like Odile is back on the mend. Rampage all the way up. Look at the huge swath of heavy rain over MX! Just think of the flash flooding in all of those places; this tragedy is just getting started.

TROPICAL STORM ODILE DISCUSSION NUMBER 25
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP152014
200 AM PDT TUE SEP 16 2014

Odile continues to have a well-organized appearance on satellite
imagery with bursts of deep convection continuing near the center.
A couple of ASCAT passes indicated a large area of 45-kt winds
over the Gulf of California just off the east-central coast of
the Baja peninsula. Based on these data and the possibility of
stronger winds along the immediate coast of the Baja peninsula,
the initial intensity is set at 55 kt. Odile should gradually
weaken during the next 24 to 36 hours while the circulation
continues to interact with land. Odile is forecast to become a
tropical depression in a day or so, and degenerate to a remnant low
within 48 hours. The new forecast now calls for dissipation within
3 days.

Odile is moving north-northwestward at about 9 kt. The cyclone
should turn toward the north, then northeast during the next day
or so as it moves between a mid-level ridge to its east and a
mid-level trough near southern California. The latest NHC track
is again a little faster than the previous advisory and is close to
a blend of the GFS and ECMWF models.

Moisture is forecast to be advected northward by Odile's
circulation over the next few days. This, along with the slow
motion of Odile or its remnant low, will likely result in locally
heavy rains and possible flooding over portions of the southwestern
United States. Please see information from your local weather
office for more details.

Since communication is down, this is slowing down the spread of impact. That's why most of the chatter/picture have been from the airports and to a lesser extent, the beach.
