I know its still a ways out but this is the latest forecast run on the European model. Cat 5 on the Gulf Coast. Not good.

Just about every model has it going right up the Florida peninsula.

There are models showing it anywhere from Lake Charles, LA to Charleston, SC. I just hope that its nowhere near as strong as they say it is in this model... hopefully that high pressure system will push it east before it reaches FL because if it hits the gulf, it's game over (not for MS, per se... but for someone).
We could really use the rain in the Miss River Basin if it were to come this way. If you haven't seen the river lately, it's the lowest it has been in almost 25 years. it's changed to drop pretty close to 60ft in 15months. record flood one year and record lows the next. So if this hurricane could weaken to just rain and come right up the mississippi and over the ohio for a few weeks it would be nice, but that won't happen if it hits the gulf. It will become a beast.
The spaghetti plots have moved it father west.

Looks headed for Panama City instead of up the peninsula.

Yeah the wife kept telling me how unorganized it looked
Then I showed her the Satellite Loop from Katrina needless to say two years without a generator is about to change. Quick question/hijack. Has anyone had a natural gas generator installed and what were the cost?

That shows 850mb wind speeds of 106 knots and a central pressure of 963mb - far from a cat 5. Those winds are reduced about 20% at the surface, so maybe cat 2. About 2AM the 00Z model runs will be out, we'll have a better idea then.
You just gotta know a hurricane named after the guy that
played the Duke of New York is gonna be a bad mf. Duke of New York, he's A number 1.

The models did indeed shift westward overnight, and most are in agreement that the 500mb trough will come and go before Isaac gains enough latitude to be affected by it, meaning the high pressure ridge builds back in and keeps the northwesterly movement going. Models vary basically from Bay St. Louis to the Florida Peninsula. Tonight's model runs will likely be very close to where actual landfall will take place. Still looking to be cat1/2 at landfall.

Obviously there is still a ton of uncertainty, but a track like this would have a rough impact on FL, and then have a long time to intensify over the gulf before possible hitting the MS/AL coast. Yikes.. NAM hinted at something like this yesterday..

The stories about Jim Cantore checking in at the Hard Rock in Biloxi are just that, stories.
The famous meteorologist with The Weather Channel was still in Atlanta on Friday afternoon, keeping tabs on Tropical Storm Isaac.
A spokesman for TWC said the company hasn't decided yet where Cantore will be waiting for Isaac to make landfall.
David Blumenthal said anytime there is a tropical system, TWC gets calls that Cantore has been spotted. Because it happens so often, the company made this video spoofing viewers' reactions to Cantore.
