When's the next euro model run?

I think 10.

Sure looks like it will skim it to the south. I would not be surprised if he actually missed Hispaniola altogether. At least the center of circulation will stay offshore so the mountainous terrain won't rip it apart.

When's the next euro model run?

I believe 1 am.

Bring it on!!! We need some rain!

I just want more snow, I mean H2O without the wind.

Latest NHC cone of error which was adjusted westward. They really didn't have a choice with most models trending that direction today. Looks like we are within 5 days now and really not sure what Isaac will do as far as land falling location and intensity. Not much time at all to prepare, that's for sure. Gonna have to stay on top of this one real closely.

Johnny and/or Bonesplitter, I know I could search and find this but y'all probably can go right to it...what is the link for buoy data in the GOM?


And what are the temps out there now? Are you two giving any indication of how strong you think it will be eventually?

Living in La Porte the past 12 years i watch them all close, but Allison did the most damage 2 feet of water in the house! 22 hour trip to livingston during rita was brutal and we never lost power at the house. Leaving early on the next one for sure!

If it does come this way or which ever way it goes, hopefully it will just bring the rain and no damage.

Go to the map, zoom in and click on a buoy you want data on. Hope that helps.
It's bathtub warm, intensity could vary depending on where it makes landfall, the more time it spends over the water the more it can intensify. If it stays south of the big islands it very well could be a strong hurricane. If the NHC cone is pretty close I would say possibly a strong cat2. I can't say with any certainty though. Perhaps Johnny has a better idea.

Thanks. I don't really know what I am looking at but I like to follow them once a storm gets in the Gulf. I remember watching as eithe Katrina or Ivan was building up and it was just unbelievable.

This is going to be a constant back and forth for a few more days. Bottom line is this thing is headed to the Gulf. Question is how much time over water before landfall. My guess is everyone from Texas to Florida better keep one eye open. Landfall in New Orleans as a Cat 2 from the SE. That's a bad thing!

The latest GFS model just got through running and shifts back to the east just a bit.
