In watching Adair's stream, it was nasty in those storms but outside of rain and high wind, that seemed to be it, I think.

One very strange storm for something that has made "landfall" ...

Regardless of how it looks on satellite pics, the ground truth said hurricane and now still a formidable TS. Don’t let “ugly” looks fool you. That isn’t what determines the strength of a TC. Related to this, l was watching Live PD in Lafayette, LA, and I saw there had been quite a few trees down. Again, nothing to trivialize.

Enough. Not every storm is going to be Katrina or Harvey. This was a brief CAT 1 that hit land that weakened once on land like storms normally do.

New state record for rain in Arkansas from a tropical system.

Also, Euro/EPS mean much stronger than GFS/GEFS mean and CDN GEPS mean. This will tell us a fair bit about the current version of the Euro.

Conclusion: Just the formation of Barry four days later was enough to tell me that the Euro/EPS (which have recently been upgraded) performed much better than the GFS suite (newly upgraded FV3 operational and old GEFS) and CDN suite as regards genesis because the Euro suite was by far the most aggressive with its formation. A number of GEFS/GEPS runs even after that had no members with anything sub 1004 mb in the Gulf. The lowest SLP ended up being 991 mb officially.

So, big kudos to the Euro suite.
