ATL: BARRY - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[AnnularCane]

Looks like he made it after all!

"I'm gonna make it after all!" (Uh, sorry. )

[Steve]

Wind is picking up a hair, and it looks like a narrow yellow band is setting up just to our south and building in. Hopefully we can get some 30-35mph gusts out of that.

Strangest looking Hurricane on radar, ever. If it wasn't for the recon and so close to land this would had never been upgraded.

[StormLogic]

in orange here, wind picking up from NE, going mow, we finna get some of this for sure in the next few days lol

[BRweather]

Well it seems like it most definitely is making a cyclonic loop. I think NAM 3K ended up nailing this in the short term once it finally dismissed the major hurricane model runs.

After seeing what SE TX went through with Harvey, I have never seen so many stupid people wishing for a storm to go their way again by -removed-, hanging on to the last thread of hope that the storm is going to end up in SE TX

I've seen absolutely no -removed- from anyone in SE Texas or SW Louisiana for that matter. Perhaps some of the comments have been mistaken by some versus just commentary about the Western edge of last minute shift in Warnings and what we are actually seeing via radar...

Thank u srain!!

This is crazy

Crowley now calm, no wind at all and no rain ??

Its been misting all morning since about 5 am here at my house. No heavy rain, but enough to keep everything wet, but the winds have died down from probably 15-20 mph to maybe 5-10 mph.

[Condor]

looks like that mesovortex is moving back down south and is going to go back in under the convection

[PTrackerLA]

Lafayette Parish was just put under a hurricane warning but the winds are weak right now after gusting to 40ish all night. This is bizarre but I assume we have the threat of strong gusts underneath the offshore squalls. Tempted to go out and find some lunch if anything is open.

[Steve]

The word "-removed-" seems to be thrown around a bit too much. I'm willing to bet that very few predictions or expressed concerns that a storm might go a certain way is actually -removed-.

There was some state-centric posting as there always is. Eventually most people get to the point where they let biases get out of the way of science and observation. Still I don't blame anyone for being concerned, right? SE TX was certainly in play and likely would have dealt with a stronger Cat-1 or possibly even a low end 2. If I was there, I would have been asking all the same questions everyone else was. So I think it's always fair to try to get the most information as to what you might have to deal with.

[TheProfessor]

It will be interesting to see what happens once this loop completes. One the edge of another rainband, we'll see if it pulls down some stronger winds for a longer period this time.

Siker,

Driving East/West on the I-10 in LA is like 270 miles or so. I think the actual shoreline is like over 7k miles, but that's where it touches the water. In reality east to west it's about 270 miles. Just a FYI. Bout to go out and get wet.

Yeah it didn’t make much sense after I typed it given NOLA-Lake Charles is 3.5 hours of driving. Guess that figure was an average width of the north half and southern half.

[TheProfessor]

I'm just glad I was convinced my parents to not move right along the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain when they were moving here in February. We'd be stuck in flooding right now.

I’m seeing this too and wondering why more aren’t talking about it. Look at that deep convection that appears to be swirling far sw of the main “blob” looks like this one has taken over for the moment. I wish we had radar out in the middle of the gulf because this is really getting interesting imo.

[gatorcane]

Looks more like a cyclone now as modeling was suggesting. There is a slug of rain headed for NOLA and LA. Now where the rain bands and training setup will be key as how much rain falls and where but some of the heaviest rainfall may very well fall pretty far..east of the center. So NOLA could be in the cross-hairs.

Really?

Crowley

Very light drizzle
Wind is not existent
Just got a hurricane warning on my Phone

this makes no sense,
Wish i knew how to upload a video to show conditions or rather lack of them

[NDG]

Back to the storm.
Hurricane Barry is only the fourth Hurricane to make landfall in LA ever since 1851 during the month of July, according to Dr Phil.
A very rare event indeed.
