Another 20 meter drop on the last pass..
At this time, St. Charles Parish will go through the eyewall.
hi yall from Lafayette on my cell..
This is my worst fear.....ugh. its my daughter's senior year..
I took my kids pics & our important papers.
Not all hurricanes will look perfect with that textbook look, but IMO, Isaac continues to improve in structure. On visible, you can see his eye right in the middle of a still developing CDO.
In the process of this developmental stage, cloud tops have warmed in the past couple hours. I only imaging as the sunsets and we move into the overnight hours, we'll see a new explosion of convective activity.
I really thought Isaac would have developed and wound up more today. The tradition bad side, NE quadrant, (which I have been dreading because it's forecast to go over my area) still doesn't seem to have developed. And I'm not complaining!!
Isaac is not like most storms, his bad quadrants are the NW/W/SW. That may change as he organizes an eyewall.
would that not change the storm surge a bit?
One thing that has changed this afternoon is that the ULL to the SW of Isaac that was rotating dry air into yesterday is now well south and that is why the southern quadrant has improved so much, little by little is mixing out the dry air in the eastern quadrant.
