looks to me like it took quite a few jogs to the north or north-north west in that particular loop

Eye looks to be right on the updated forecast track now.
Maybe another story by the time recon finishes up.

What does that mean? Is that inversion good or bad for the storm?

Looks like a classic hurricane. A bit late for a western GoM hurricane this strong this late in the season...

Looks like Delta is certainly on pace for my 140mph peak prediction... Maybe even higher

Re: ATL: DELTA - Hurricane - Discussion
Based on Satellite alone, that sure looks stronger than a 105MPH Hurricane to me.........I'm skeptical that it's only that strong......

Yeah definitely far more classic for August or early September given its location lol

Delta is looking more and more impressive on satellite imagery right now!

But in all seriousness. Im pretty certain I have weather PTSD from the 2016 floods.
Buck up, soldier! Part of me's still in the 2016 Cajun Navy rescue boat, too. Now it's 2020 and we got the 'canes swooping by, we got the 'rona all around, we got anti-maskers, civil unrest, the political mess . . . but we're winning, 'cause even when all your stuff is by the roadside there's still beer and jambalaya.
So, don't fret too much, be careful . . . but enjoy yourself, enjoy this ever so interesting life, and even when the murder hornets come buzzing and the swamp inexplicably catches fire and solar flares kick off and the asteroid's inbound you gotta 'merica harder than you've ever 'merica'd before.

Now, I gotta go PTSD-twitch 'cause it's getting a tad breezy.

Re: ATL: DELTA - Hurricane - Discussion
Comparing the Delta thread to f.e. Laura and Sally it is still surprisingly quiet. I think this one might surprise a lot of people by how strong is is/will become. I think many people checked out once the Wilma level potential wasn't realized, but this is shaping up to be one massive major hurricane right now.

It already is a massive tropical cyclone. It will cause major problems with surge and will have an expansive wind field. It is going to create much havoc unfortunately for the people along the North Central Gulf Coast and even areas inland into Louisiana and into the Lower MS and TN River Valleys.

Re: ATL: DELTA - Hurricane - Discussion
I am curious to see if this northward movement is a prolonged wobble or if stays moving north.. The storm is supposed to make it to make it right at 94W and we are at 93.3ish

If Delta was threatening Texas or Florida this thread would be super active.
