And of course, the next two names are Delta Gamma.  Just what you'd expect from 2020....

I'm not gonna worry about climate change until we get to Lambda Lambda Lambda. 

[Neonmoon 38130]

Delta Gamma?

Well you know it’s going get real crazy and blow a lot of people 

[Storm the Field 5301]

Supposed to go drop off a bunch of furniture at BIL's house in Baton Rouge Friday afternoon then attend LSU game on Saturday. Let's just say I'll hold off on packing for that trip for the moment.

that cone could fuck up a several college football games.  LSU is at home vs Mizz.  Miss is at home vs Bama. Auburn is at home vs piggy. 

and, not so important but Vanderbilt is playing S Carolina as well.  That 2pm Saturday cone covers all those areas.  -not that the storm is gonna be everywhere- just saying thats some big games that could be impacted/ postponed

2020 gives zero fucks about the SEC.

So you are saying we are 2020? Or a Hurricane? And yeah, fuck the SEC.

[mchookem 16369]

so with this storm path, is there likelihood that there will be some storm surge on Texas coast? seems like we saw some Texas beach flooding earlier this year even though the storms stayed farther east...

[Telegraph_it 3359]

The gulf is a bathtub right now.

Yes, but nothing like we saw a couple of weeks ago. We will be in the west side of the storm so it shouldn’t be too bad.

[FORTY NINE TO ZERO 2652]

Louisiana must have sold it’s soul to the devil for the LSU NC. It’s like the reverse Astros / Harvey. 

[Wally Pryor 5262]

Cat 4 into Cancun?   Damn.

[SquishMitten 10425]

So, I hadn’t heard of this storm until this morning. But last night, I had a dream that a hurricane blew up in the gulf really fast and ultimately made landfall along the TX-LA border as a category 8.

[smuggs 9353]

This motherfucker needs to stay east. We can't handle this in Lake Charles.

[jdhorn92 1554]

We took a beating in Fairhope during Sally, need this one to keep trending West.  4AM advisory had it shift west, but like Sally, we are still in the cone here in Baldwin County.

19 hours ago you posted the 8am Advisory that occurred today, Oct 6 th, at 10:40 EDT (or appx 2.5hours ago), mind blown.

[orange dream 1256]

So, my son has football game scheduled for Friday night in Beaumont.  Any thoughts of how likely that may be?

[jdhorn92 1554]

if stays on current track, Beaumont is AOK.  The wind field is not that wide and you will be at least 250 miles from center, and on the west side of storm

I presume this hurricane is why it’s forecasted to be 110° in Austin this weekend?

[HiggyBaby 2545]

Probably. Sinking air on the backside.

[InkaUtexas 26078]

Delta just hit CAT 4? 

[crimsonlonghorn 2306]

Guess I need to go spend a day packing up my yard and my farm so as to protect Houston like I did last month. 

[phdhorn 6224]

110°?  Not seeing that, and I doubt it.  However, probably mid-high 90's, not a lot of which is due to the 'cane.  It'll go back to 90° or so on Monday. Yeah gonna be hot but almost metaphysically impossible to crack like 105°.

BTW, latest 100° day ever recorded in Austin is Oct. 2 (1938).

'Cane will be strong going thru Cancun, then weaken as it does, then strengthen again in the Gulf, and finally weaken a bit as drier air filters in just before the Cent. LA coast.  My throw of the dices says a Cat 2.  At least right  now.  Still gonna be a significant hurricane.

We won't see any effects at all (I think) in Austin.  Maybe some showers in Houston/TX coast.  Not much.  IF the steering predictions hold.

So should I leave Lafayette ?

[FORTY NINE TO ZERO 2652]

So we were scheduled to take down the plywood Friday.    Just called to push it back another  week. Second time I’ve had to push it back this year.  Fucking 2020

Latest spaghetti models have it coming ashore just east of Marsh Island then heading straight through the Atchafalaya Basin about halfway between Lafayette and BR.

That is a little close for comfort, but what I’ve read before is that the GFS leans west on strong hurricanes. I guess we will see.

That's the EURO model, which has been sending everything west of where it ends up this year. GFS is the American model which has been nails this season.

Last year EURO models were spot on.  This year GFS has been better.  But none of them forecast 140 by now, not even the HWRF, which loves extremes.

Tiny eye just accelerating and building.  Scary stuff if you're in the Yucatan. 

Also don't like that spacecityweather went from "We don't care LOL" to "This is potentially concerning" in 24 hours.

Yeah, typo on my part. Obviously I was referring to the Euro model that was in the post I quoted.

[crimsonlonghorn 2306]

Only thing I have see west of Beaumont so far is a single GFS ensemble member. They just don't make it to Texas in October. 

We should be fine, but it's going to be pretty close for comfort.

This is what the Rage+1 reaction is for. Gives the poster pos rep for sharing the resource while expressing your hatred for its contents.
