Can't seem to post the satellite image but it does look as Cindy is slowly moving north/northeast. I honestly think the track is little to far west, I believe this could possibly possibly possibly be a central/east La landfall.

Don't be deceived. This storm is weird. It moved South from advisory 4A to 5, but since formation has moved generally NW.

Not saying its not heading in NW motion but ATM its clearly a north slight Northeast movement. Trust me I'm not wishcasting, Lol!!

Yeah, it's been moving strangely. I think that if it keeps stalling, it will shift the track further West, but press its remnant moisture south. It may also make it stronger.

From what I've seen, the storm has been making one big loop today. In fact, a lot of models (like the HWRF) have picked up on the center of the storm doing a lot of loops and wafting around while gradually moving to the NW. The current (temporary) NE-ward movement does concern me though, because it's moving away from the shear to the west and towards the heavier convection/moisture feed. If some convection manages to fire near the center of circulation, it may be able to strengthen and organize more before resuming its NW track.

That does indeed look a good bit better than the 12z run. This run slams Al, central Tenn and extreme northern GA. The center itself goes up into Ark before dissipating.

Hrrr is advertising a rainy night here not big totals but .5 or so. Would be nice to go along with the 3.5 we have in the last week....posting this here since it's kinda part of the moisture stream

Recon flying in again, and is that buoy that says SHIP have a pressure of 990 and strong winds, or is that not right? (Time sensitive)

yeah that stalled out frontal boundary coupled with the moisture fetch from tropical storm Cindy is sure doing the work in and around Atlanta. up to five inches this morning in parts of Atlanta. .

Cindy is definitely getting stronger. The NW quadrant seems to have stronger winds despite the lack of moisture. I wonder if it will be stronger than expected.

I say a 60 mph storm now
Noooo you know how easy it is for us to go incredibly dry in the summer

Lookout for gulf coast convection robbing moisture transport !

At this trajectory, it looks like it's gonna make landfall in Louisiana but we'll see
Edit: Nvm, it's headed towards Texas

Some oil rigs are reporting hurricane force gust winds

Quite crazy. If this keeps strengthening, maybe we will see a hurricane out of it. In June. In the Gulf.

Tropical storm warning now includes Alabama Gulf Coast. I think that is new.

Probably because the wind field is getting way larger than expected. The recon plane's flight level winds got stronger on the way out in the same area than on the way in.

Very possible it could reach hurricane status

Yeah, I just didn't know if they had done that on this advisory or the 7pm advisory. They just did it on this advisory.

Oddly enough, the 2005 Cindy actually reached Hurricane status right before it reached the Louisiana coast

Was on the Gulf coast for that one. Would be sort of similar. This would be the one of the most non-hurricane looking hurricanes I've ever seen.

Dry air is really hurting Cindy this morning. Looks like it will really hold down rainfall totals in Louisiana.

NWS calling for 2-5 Inches over the next 36 hours for my area

Shouldn't be a problem for you to get those totals some serious rain moving up into Al.... long fetch of moisture
QPF maps have been up and down for the east Ga, SC and NC peeps... models can't decide if this wants to consolidate once inland or not and can't nail down the eventual track

That air is weakening the system, but despite the dryness, there is an area to the NW of the center that is flaring up as well as some small storms near the center.Dry air is really hurting Cindy this morning. Looks like it will really hold down rainfall totals in Louisiana.

Cindy is basically stationary at the moment, could be an ever so slight w/nw drift....
