Wow... lots of tension here tonight... hate to see it in another month. Deep breath everyone.. deep breath...

Hopefully, Admin will be out in full force. I love reading this site throughout the day, but lately it has just been crazy!

Quoting MississippiBoy:
Storm,so if 96L gets it s act together and strengthens it COULD go more northerly than predicted and I know nothing is etched in stone.

The same was said of Alex. He couldn't consolidate quick enough to be a N Gulf problem...

96L development HMMM

Quoting palmpt:

Yes, I'm disappointed that StormW went down to that level of bickering. His opinion is to be respected but not worshiped. If he was right 100% of the time, I'd suspect him of having a little arrangement with Ms. Nature. But right now I'm watching Patrap with a suspicious eye...

Quoting BiloxiIsle:

Wow, you "poof" people who agrees with you...to many "poof" happy people here.

BiloxiIsle, I thought your avitar picture was a picture of a hurricane or a tropical storm. I just realized it was a cat!...lol I am thinking some new glasses are in order!

Quoting PtownBryan:

I'd have to guess those are courtesy of Alex and 95L. Which is precisely why many of us were watching lil 95L.

..showers and strong thunderstorms moving across coastal
southeast Louisiana...

545 PM CDT... a well defined area of low pressure is moving
inland over Terrebonne Parish. The low was located south of
Houma and is moving north northwest at 10 to 15 mph.

The low is expected to continue to move inland this evening and
this evening with wind gusts of 35 to 45 mph possible over the
affected area through this evening which could down tree limbs and
blow around unsecured small objects.

These storms could produce rainfall amounts of one to
three inches in a short period of time... resulting in ponding of
water around low lying roadways. Remember... do not drive your vehicle
into water covered roadways. The depth may be too great to allow a
safe crossing.

Tide levels remain elevated and onshore winds of 20 to 30 mph may
cause some low lying roadways near coastal areas to flood.

From WDSU "Tar Balls Reach Rigolets, Threaten Lake Pontchartrain" Link

95L, be it a named storm or not, is making a large impact on the gulf coast by driving this oil further inland and threatening both the ecosystem and the lives of it's residents. We need to focus on the big picture here, not on what 95L is or is not.

Back to lurking I go.

Hey, if "near tropical storm force winds could occur across Terrebone Parish," and there is a 60% chance of 95L becoming a cyclone before it moves inland, why would there not be a tropical storm watch issued for the coast?

What the heck? Code red on 95L? I thought it was at <0%.

I'm no expert but I reckon that it would have to be a "tropical storm" those stats you're reading off sound close to TD so that would probably be right? Anyone that would know the answer to this care to agree or disagree and correct me if I'm wrong?

Quoting PensacolaBuoy:

Because it's not officially a Tropical Depression or a Tropical Storm.

It has to actually develop, which I think is stupid, because if we have a strong Invest with strong TS-force winds, there is no tropical storm warning.

Its getting close.

Usually they're good about issuing gale warnings though, which is like the same thing but there is no closed LLC involved with the winds..

Here in Key West we have had a very cloudy day with winds about 30mph from the ESE and scattered showers from time to time. Temps have been around 80 degrees. Nice day though. I live on a sailboat about a mile from shore.

The bickering on here is distracting and a waste of blog space and time. I come here to learn, and, if possible, contribute. Maybe I'm just old, but I was taught to be respectful to others. Thanks for the ones who teach without berating someone's lack of knowledge.After all, that's why some of us are here, to gain that knowledge.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF COASTAL WATERS
OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA AND SOUTH MISSISSIPPI...SOUTHEAST
LOUISIANA AND SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT
THUNDERSTORMS...
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY THIS EVENING AND
TONIGHT AS A SMALL BUT WELL-DEFINED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES
THROUGH SOUTHEAST AND SOUTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA. SOME OF THE SQUALLS
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING NEAR-
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WIND GUSTS AS WELL AS LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.

MARINE...
WIND GUSTS OF 35 TO 45 KNOTS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE GULF
COASTAL WATERS WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER TONIGHT AS THE
SURFACE LOW CONTINUES TO MOVE INLAND.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY
THUNDERSTORMS...
A TROPICAL WAVE NOW LOCATED ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN IS
FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE CENTRAL GULF TOWARD MIDWEEK. THIS LOW
WILL TRANSPORT DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE INTO THE AREA...RESULTING IN
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT THREAT FROM THIS SYSTEM WILL BE HEAVY RAINFALL AND THE
POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED FLOODING. IN ADDITION TO THE HEAVY
RAINS...ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF
PRODUCING FREQUENT CLOUD-TO- GROUND LIGHTNING AND GUSTY WINDS.

LATER IN THE WEEK...THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BECOME
MORE SCATTERED IN NATURE AS THE TROPICAL WAVE MOVES AWAY FROM THE
AREA.

.COASTAL FLOODING...
A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT ACROSS ALL COASTAL AREAS FOR
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY MORNINGS. MODERATE TO STRONG SOUTHEAST WINDS
WILL RESULT IN TIDE LEVELS THAT ARE 2 TO 3 FEET ABOVE NORMAL...
WHICH COULD LEAD TO MINOR COASTAL FLOODING IN LOW LYING AREAS.

MARINE...
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE EASTERN MARINE
ZONES STARTING TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING.
SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 20 TO 25 KNOTS THROUGH TUESDAY
NIGHT INTO THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT TIME PERIOD. SEAS WILL PEAK 5 TO 8
FEET ON WEDNESDAY.


.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED.

Did 95L do the impossible and move South back into the Gulf???

Whatever is in the gulf in the next few days will be steered to the Northwest or West. Good chance 96L heads somewhere to Texas
