If that would be the track and just a little west, that' worst case scenario for New Orleans.

SOB. That would be damn near the worst case scenario. But, I can take solace in the fact that most models that far off are not accurate.

That looks terrible. The only good thing about this is that since it's so early, it's most likely to change.

Trust me..if it is saying New Orleans now, when it gets here, it won't be here. It would be a first for any model...I'll worry about Dennis when he is in the GOM.

...and predicted Ivan to hit Mobile about 10 days out(I remember everyone laughing at it).

It was only 20 miles off...

GFS has been doing pretty good lately with these systems.

However don't take ANY model 120+ hours out, even 60 hours out, as a forecast. Its just a guess really.

Still I would hope all of you NOLA area residents are preparing for the worst, but of course hoping for the best.

The GFS is at least the 2nd model that makes New Orleans ground zero. The EURO has it in the exact same spot, with a lot of the others aiming in that same general area. It's still a long way out, thank goodness.

That solution is being picked up by the models, and it would be a horrible fate for NO

00z UKMET has FL panhandle landfall

00z Canadian has a Mobile, AL landfall

so for right now...the modeling varies from a New Orleans landfall to a FL panhandle landfall. not much of a real estate difference for 120+ hours in the models.
