Re: ATL: BARRY - Tropical Storm - Discussion
Just checked CIMSS
They PV Streamer really got kicked back a couple notches.
Anti-cyclone pretty much over the top of this.
Great outflow channel from the NE quad 270 degrees around to the NW quad.

It should justify it being a hurricane temporarily. It is ground truth.

it hasn't peaked in intensity, and it's not going to until sometime on the 14th. We will hopefully stay safe here though.
Steve how much more hours till landfall?

Other obs in the area are much lower. This location is about 150 miles ENE of Barry's center. In my experience (having worked on an offshore platform), the anemometer is rarely calibrated well. The location may be atop the derrick, which could be atop a rig that's 150 feet above the water. The wind doesn't look representative of Barry's wind field.

Is this realistic even after considering how high the Mississippi is and the very heavy rains that are expected?
Not sure if this was meant for someone specific, but I and other S2K folks are here in New Orleans with our families/friends and not evacuating. I do have friends who left or extended vacations out of town to avoid the storm. We have many streets and neighborhoods that experience minor flooding during heavy (but normal) rains. If I lived in one of those areas and had young children or other vulnerable folks in my household, I would have considered leaving, but for convenience and comfort as much as safety.
This is just my personal opinion: flooding events tend to be worse than forecast. For tropical systems, I always assume the worst. Based on what I’ve seen, if I lived there, I wouldn’t chance it. It’s a catastrophe that’s being prevented by a shoestring network of canals and levees. They have failed before and will fail again. With the river already at bankfull and the storm hasn’t even started yet...I’m pretty worried about New Orleans. No way I’d stay inside that bowl.
Jason- I agree, in Eastern NC Mathew was a surge and wind event - until it wasn't ...luckily as it weakened coming up the coast but the rain caused many areas that have never flooded in 100 years to be underwater, roads washed out, it was worse than we expected. Some areas were cut off from access for a long time. The flood maps are helpful but they won't show what will actually flood, Florence was modeled to be a huge surge here at 12 plus feet- thankfully that didn't happen. I used to live in Plaquemines Parrish, there was a lot more land there as a buffer in the late 80's when I was there. It's shocking how Katrina and wetland erosion has affected south LA. I would be overly cautious about a minimal tropical storm if I lived there.

Re: ATL: BARRY - Tropical Storm - Discussion
Barry may have 3-5 landfalls. One for each mesovortex and perhaps more than one for a couple of them.

12z EURO has the pressure at 993 in 24 hours... Barry is already at 993mb... does that mean it isn't expected to strengthen anymore for the next 24 hours or EURO is off... initialized at 996 mb

Re: ATL: BARRY - Tropical Storm - Discussion
From the NHC 1pm discussion.
A motion
toward the northwest is expected to begin later today, followed by a
turn toward the north Saturday night. On the forecast track, the
center of Barry will approach the central or southeastern coast of
Louisiana through tonight and then make landfall over the central
Louisiana coast on Saturday. After landfall, Barry is expected to
move generally northward through the Mississippi Valley through
Sunday.

Great improvement in WV last few frames.

In other news, the 12Z UKMET has given up on a Texas landfall. It now takes the center inland just west of Vermilion Bay around 12Z tomorrow.

Wouldn't that cause the storm to move much further west than models are depicting? Or is the trough that is supposed to pull Barry N stronger than the HP so it will still grab Barry (even more so with Barry strengthening)?

Elevation of the surface obs is probably why this wasn't called a hurricane at 18z.

It will definitely continue to get better organized and intensify through landfall. As I noted earlier, fully expect it to be at least 65 kt... and possibly achieve upwards of 75 kt...once it's able to wrap convection all the way around the center and develop an eyewall. Frictional Convergence will help further tighten the core as it reaches the shoreline.

Many of the high-res models have been showing this development happening, followed by a ramp up with intensification.
