Tropical Hurricane Ida

So I finally got back from a honey-do mission. I can't help but notice as others have pointed out that the storm has been riding the eastern edge of guidance the past few hours. Not to mention a rather substantial shift east on the EURO. New Orleans/Metairie may just find itself in the NE eyewall after all.
850mB winds. Not surface! But still. That eastward adjustment is concerning.

I brought her name up to my friend in Baton Rouge, and he started laughing. Apparently, Cantrell had been advocating for a monument to herself in the City, and thinks the only reason she doesn't have one is cause she is black and a woman, even though the city is made up of a majority of black citizens that voted for a female mayor. Oh by the way... She's only been there for 2 years and half the city hates her. She also doesn't seem to realize that it's poor edicate for politicians to be given monuments during their time in office. She constantly plays political games.

When you live in a city is constantly under threat by hurricanes that could wipe out the lives and property of your friends and family, you vote for the civil engineer or the emergency manager. You don't vote for the candidate running as the first female mayor, unless she has a degree in civil engineering or experience as an emergency manager. You'd think that the people who experienced a humanitarian crisis like Katrina would elect someone that was qualified to handle such incidents.

Yeah honestly looks like the bands have wrapped around her nicely through the afternoon .. it’s coughed out that dry air almost fully now and right in time for a big ole pocket of very warm water … by evening time we will be looking at a major hurricane

Yeah it seems like they usually bomb at night so I don't think the window is closed yet for sure. The loop current is still ahead of it

Eye is trying to clear. It would take a good clip west to get back on track. TWC is concern for New Orleans or little east of there if this continues.
 
As I mentioned two days ago, I had a feeling the high would weaken enough to allow this to be a problem from NO to Mobile. While it may go through Eastern or central Tn, the bulk of the heavy rain and flooding will be to the east of the low passage, not the west. Therefore people in the NC/Ga mountains need to keep a sharp lookout for flooding rains if this takes a sharper NE turn after landfall than expected

this is still right on track to be just west of NOLA

I agree. While it does look like it will be east of the 11am track, the eye should still come in just west of New Orleans. Unfortunately it looks like a greater possibility that the city may at least get clipped by the eye wall.
