Holy crp...6Z GFS puts N.O. squarely in the right front quadrant. Yeah, wobbles sometimes do matter.

Tropical Hurricane Ida

I can't confirm but I've been watching the eye contract all morning on the radar so I wouldn't doubt there's lower pressure to be found.

I think the NOAA plane is flying back into it. It is still out there.
We have NOAA in there now and looking like AF is decending toward that area now.

Man you seeing the eye on vis it's clearing out quick. Big round eye.

it has...been tracking it more with radar at this point, but sat images look very impressive.

I was using the flightradar24 app or website. But it lost contact with both planes.
I fear this NNW jog is more of a heading than a jog. Severe impacts to Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, and St. Bernard Parishes are becoming more likely by the hour.
Wha my once was a wobbly eye has now stopped and become fully circular and warmed significantly .. last few frames really cleared out
I think there was 2 different 140-145kt right before NOAA punched through the eyewall just now
The GOES satellite images once the sun comes up are going to be beastly to look at .. really going to get into the details of this thing .. and looks like the eyes completely warmed just in time for the sun to come up

This is amazing and terrifying, went to sleep about 1000 knowing this was going to strengthen rapidly but this is insane!

Cat 5 is definitely a possibility.( if it isn't already there )

THAT'S ALMOST A DUE NORTH MOVEMENT ACCORDING TO VISIBLE SAT IMAGES

The NOAA plane must be out of the hurricane since it is showing on the app. Airforce is still in the hurricane.

Just insane. I would imagine gust are at or over 200 mph.
This is the sickest radar image I have seen of a cane … a lot of the other hurricanes we’ve tracked I feel like usually have a lopsided but strong partial eye wall .. this thing is full ring of death

HWRF For the win one could argue the live picture looks better than the model. Scary stuff.

️ The only cane I can think of that had one similar was Andrew.

In reality Ida is doing exactly what Katrina did. Strengthen rapidly with bands if heavy storms rotating around the eye and then boom popped a clear perfectly circular eye. IDA has done the same thing just much closerr to landfall.
The wind speeds on velocity have exceeded maximum values of 141 mph .. those hot pinks around this area of darkness are those 141 values .. what’s in the dark values I’m sure it more
