It's now a 20% chance to rain in New Orleans for today and tomorrow. That's the difference between the west side of a Gulf storm and the east side of a Gulf storm

So the area around Mobile will get... 15-20+ inches of rain?

they're probably more concerned about the storm surge

but yeah probably a foot or more of rain is a big deal too

Yeah if you're close to the watersheds or the bay it's gonna be a tough couple days. Also, shocker, we have some poo poo drainage in this town. Streets just flood on regular rainy days.

lotsa places along that stretch of the coast just dump their stormwater (and sometimes their sewage thanks to crossovers) straight into the gulf with outlet pipes right on the beach, it's gross as hell

Cat 1 now, but it's so slow-moving that the flooding is much more a worry than the wind speed that the categories measure.

Isaac, which hit New Orleans in 2012, I think, landed as a tropical storm, not even a hurricane, and sat on us for like 2 days and knocked out power for a week.

Entergy loving sucks, so maybe you'll have a better response to the power outages. Sally is smaller than Isaac too, I think. Isaac wasn't strong but it was huge.

Anyway fill your bathtub with water and your freezer with bottles of water.

Sometime around noon today I began smelling something weird but couldn't place it. Just stepped out on my balcony to stretch before I leave for work only to see the sky totally hazy with a slightly orange tinge. Guess the wildfire smoke has arrived from the west

Temperatures forecast to plunge 20 degrees over the next 36 hours, real cool.

A couple of days ago Levi Cowan did say that a lot of factors were going to make this storm hard to model, and that was part of why the NHC spread the hurricane warning from the middle of LA into West FL

Hey fellow Southern Indiana goon.. I can only assume this is why I thought the sun was the moon on my way to work this morning.

It looked just like the photo others posted.

My understanding is that really slow storms are always hard to model, because the weak forces moving them are so subtle.

Yes you have the fact that it's near land as one factor, and there is a frontal system approaching Texas that is causing some wind shear to come from the west. I believe there are also steering winds from the east, so it's kind of just stalling out but it's going to start getting pushed more north and then east here, it's just a matter of when. Current forecast is landfall tomorrow morning in Alabama, but it's going to move real slow.
