The GOES-U satellite was launched the other day. This is the newer model for the images I am displaying in this thread. I look forward to seeing the data. It will not go into operation yet because they must do some calibration. It's going to make some high-resolution scans of the Earth. I'm using data from the GOES-R series.

Looks like Corpus to Brownsville should be on high alert.

Actually the whole gulf but those areas looking for sure

Yeah, southeast Texas should definitely be preparing now. Landfall somewhere along the gulf is looking certain.

Intensity is still to be determined. The gulf is known for storms going through rapid intensification and our numerical weather models aren’t sophisticated enough to predict that.

The storm rapidly intensified last night and is now at 115 mph. Southeastern Texas should be on alert. Forecast models are suggesting the storm will make landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula, causing it to weaken.

Just hoping this does not turn Northeast towards Louisiana.

I've got family in New Orleans preparing now. Hopefully, they will not have to vacate the city for higher ground, etc. This hurricane season has me worried.

any chance this shit hits the hot Gulf and turn into a Cat5?

It's possible, but it will hinder intensification if it hits the Yucatan.

I also thought these monsters usually turn more north as they approach. It would seem to have nearly no northward turn to hit the Yucatan.

The intensity of the high-pressure system in the Gulf is keeping it moving south. It doesn't look like it will ease up, which is good to avoid US landfall. However, dynamics like fronts could push the high pressure to the east, and the storm could take a northerly turn. Models suggest that it could happen after it hits the Yucatan.

They should prepare, but nothing right now suggests that it will turn early enough to hit NO. Anything can happen, so it's best to get prepared anyway.

I have a strange feeling this thing is going to be a category five before the end of the day. This is some rapid intensification.

What’s interesting about hurricanes is that the ones that you think that are gonna come thru and Fuck shit up, they usually fizzle out and die before hitting land.

It’s the ones you least expect, when mofos have gotten comfortable and let there guard down…those are the ones that come thru like Godzilla.
