Ivan's landfall this time around?

#1 Postby GalvestonDuck » Wed Sep 22, 2004 11:00 pm

Approximately 24 hours out, anyone care to make any forecasts or guesses?

Considering how often the true track has gone to the southern and/or western edge of the forecast cone, it'd be almost silly for me to agree with it and say "Galveston" because you know that'd be -removed-. Honestly, I'm not certain where I think landfall will be. All I know is I'm gonna be living up to my screenname this weekend. :)

Actually every GOM storm/Hurricane this season has made landfall EAST of the NHC, and model concensus prediction. Bonnie, Charlie(Southeast), Frances, and IVan (only about 50 miles East) made landfall East of the prediction. Judging from the only two Vortex fixes, it was moving more NW than WNW at that time. So in closing I will predict a Central LA. Landfall.

It's almost south of central Louisiana now. I think it would have to suddenly turn NNW to make it to central La.
SW La. seems quite possible though.

Local met here expects landfall between High Island and Sabine Pass. Getting some rather gusty winds at the moment here in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana.

Not trying to be a smart@ss but 90W is hardly Central LA. Thats Southeast LA.

I'm not staying up that late either, but I will be up early to check on it. Wondering about my drive to work in the morning - could be a bit rough as it is already very breezy here at the moment. Oh well, bring on some rain.

Glad someone said it. :)

90.0W is due south of downtown New Orleans.

A friendly FYI...the "central" coastal region of south Louisiana is generally considered to be the area from Morgan City to approximately the New Iberia-Abbeville area.

Now that we have a debate on where Central LA. is, let me clarify my prediction. I think it will hit on the Louisiana Coast around 91.5 to 92.0.
