Do my eyes deceive me, or is there now a high pressure system parked in the middle of the western Atlantic? That doesn't seem very good if that's where Katia was supposed to be making her turn at because now she'll have to navigate that as well.

That high pressure system has been there for days and given us very lovely weather ever since Irene blew through.

It's supposed to slowly drift further out to sea over the course of the weekend and into Monday.

Goddamnit, that's like drought-ending rain for us. Fuck you, Louisiana we called it first. :mad:

Yeah, it's terrible. 1/3 of trees seem to be dieing right now. The other 2/3 look unhealthy, except for ones right next to where bodies of water used to be.

Science help us all.

As long as Perry is in charge, the drought will continue.




Didnt you hear? God uses weather for political messages, and since the day of prayer went unanswered....

Can someone with more weather savvy than me explain why they think Lee will hang a hard right into Lousiana? Shouldn't high pressure be keeping it mostly on its north westernly track?

I thought the high pressure was still over Texas which was blockading the storm

NHC has the storm coming right up the ass of my city lol.
Nobody will really do much for a 60 mph TS though, probably a little bit of sandbagging in low lying parishes.

Katia still a TS
Not expected to strengthen much today
Could be a hurricane again over the weekend


I find it interesting that they are saying "could"

Hope this trend continues

At least its not Katia hitting NOLA?

I dunno, I think I'd prefer it, since it's moving along at a faster clip, it won't sit in one spot and just dump rain on us for like three or four days straight. The pumps in New Orleans won't be able to keep up.

Tropical Depression Thirteen formed last night over the Northern Gulf of Mexico and is slowly intensifying, but isn't in a hurry to go anywhere. What TD 13 will do is dump torrential rains along the northern Gulf Coast over the next three or more days. So far, rain amounts along the coast have mostly been below one inch.

Hurricane Katia is continuing its long trek across the Atlantic Ocean today, and will not pose a danger to any land areas over the next five days. Katia is still struggling with dry air and moderate wind shear of 10 - 20 knots. Latest satellite loops show surface-based arc-shaped clouds racing to the southwest away from Katia's core, a sign that dry air is penetrating into Katia's thunderstorms and creating strong downdrafts that are robbing the storm of heat and moisture. Katia is over warm ocean waters of 28.5°C, and these waters will increase in temperature to 29°C over the next five days. Katia will pass well north of the region of cooler waters stirred up by the passage of Hurricane Irene last week.

The models are split on when the upper-level trough of low pressure bringing the wind shear to Katia will move away, and the storm may spend two more days battling wind shear and dry air before the upper-level trough pulls away to the north and allows Katia to intensify more readily. It is still unclear how much of a threat Katia may pose to the U.S., but it is becoming increasingly clear that Katia will pass uncomfortably close to the U.S. East Coast. The trough of low pressure currently steering Katia to the northwest will lift out early next week, and a ridge of high pressure is expected to build in, forcing Katia more to the west. This decreases the danger to Bermuda, but increases the danger to the U.S. A second trough of low pressure is expected to begin affecting Katia by the middle of next week, and will potentially recurve the storm out to sea before it hits the U.S.

so basically Katia is probably going to hit the east coast and depending on how fast it curves back out to sea it could drill new york/new england, or am i just completely reading this wrong?

If a High builds in the atlantic its very likely its gonna hit the east cost, how? nobody knows. Right now it looks like its not taking a solid northerly track at all and B lining towards NC/VA. So we'll see by weekends end to see where it is.
