ATL: IDA - Remnants - Discussion

[NDG]

I have to say this is very rare to see at least one complete closed eyewall making landfall moving north, it usually opens up on the southern quadrant as dry air starts entraining into the system with the usual southerly shear. Katrina was a good example in which the southern eyewall opened up before making landfall despite the great satellite presentation it had.

I need to take a break. So sorry if I've been monopolizing the discussion today. I just have plenty of free time to share interesting tweets from my weather list on Twitter... Hope it's been of interest. I'll be back sometime this evening.

Much appreciated!

Looks like New Orleans is going to avoid the worst of this.

It's not the wind, it's the water.

Yeah, it’s never the wind we worry about with Nola really. It’s the surge, flooding, and levees.

Believe it or not. the western most outer band of precipitation associated with IDA is now reaching extreme East Texas.

Did IDA just completely stall?

[Sanibel]

Surge gone, dry land Grand Isle hurricam...

Structures intact...

To all our SELA members and anyone in Ida's way, god speed and stay safe!

Looks to be a smaller (25-bed) hospital:

Winds picking up dramatically in Houma.

You have proof? With 134 mph wind gusts I really doubt it structures are intact.

Did IDA just completely stall?

Looking on the Radar loop from Lake Charles, I was thinking it's stopped and maybe started slowly drifting north a little earlier than forecast. But wobbles will fool you over a short time.

Did IDA just completely stall?

I'm looking at it on my phone and it looks like it has at least come to a crawl.

NWS New Orleans getting real on Twitter:

The center of ida appears to be stationary at this point. Is the westward progression ending early?

I am watching fox8 from NO and they mentioned the slowdown, lets see but a slowdown usually means a direction change, less nw in this case with more northerly, NO is in real danger of flash flooding the next 12 hours

Sitting pretty in Mobile, aside from the coastal surge and occasional tornado warning, but then again we’re at the far eastern extent of TS winds. Not even certain that we’ve had TS gusts in Mobtown proper.

Many of us Coasties (I just made that up) are *quite* vested in what happens to our friends and neighbors because all of us know that it could be us.

moving north, for now

[ElectricStorm]

The eye is almost fully inland and it still looks like the land isn't even affecting it at all on visible. Wow hopefully everyone is ok after this

[jlauderdal]

moving north, for now

Under 10 mph for now, a slower moving storm is not good for NO as the precip adds up

[galaxy401]

Yeah it's moving north now. Lockport about to get slammed by the inner eyewall.
