Tropical Hurricane Ida

If that’s the case and we still have so much time.. every hour right now is unfortunately not in our favor .. my ears are popping just thinking about it

Yep. I'm just basing on just the observations from the outskirts of the main convection. Already down to 987 with 78MPH winds.

Another 12 hours? It could go to 925-930.

Oh no... I'm getting weenied. I guess I went too far with it.

Thoughts on that S/SW eyewall? Is she gonna open up again or is convection going to tighten on this next rotation? Feels like it might need to cool off for a bit before one last rapid intensification b4 landfall. Usually see these things cycle up at the worst possible time. 7619A438-D522-4D04-B2A1-91922CFEDA0D.jpeg

It’s high cloud tops covering a portion of the eye. The eye is a bit bigger than what you are seeing on IR, still a good bit cloud covered.
 
So we've had some more wnw movement over the past hour or so. Both satellite and radar. That's helpful/hopeful for an eyewall miss for N.O.

The nature of these wobbles is that it will wobble back to the north soon enough. Have to smooth it out to get a real direction of motion. On the other hand these are some very clear pronounced and substantial wobbles she is throwing right now.
