The NHC basically said the westward models are bullsh-t lol

Quote:
Although the track guidance is in somewhat better agreement today,
there remains some cross-track spread by day 3, with the UKMET
showing landfall well southwest of the official forecast. The NHC
track is close to the various consensus aids and leans toward the
typically reliable GFS and ECMWF models.


This is funny because the UKMET has been by far the most accurate for this storm. Both the GFS and ECMWF have been mostly garbage.

Yes. Also the NHC appears to put a lot more effort towards it's 4pm update. The signs are all there for a shift west.
I'm going to bet that the NHC doesnt move it west at all in the 4pm update.. i bet it stays right where it is or shifts a little more East maybe.. Really going to make a lot of mets throw up their hands. Maybe i'm just hoping i'll be right.. haha.

I got a wife thats 39 weeks and 2 days pregnant.. she's ready to pop. I DO NOT want to be stuck somewhere in a hurricane delivering a baby.

They said the same thing about the 10am.

I don't think they have a clue at this point.

If its true that the NHC relies heavily on 0z and 12z data (pretty much the data thats released before the 4pm advisories) then I would think that the joint PC would have held off until closer to that timeframe. I get the feeling what happens at that PC and what comes out at the 4pm advisory will set the stage for what most Houstonians do regarding prep and evac.

I don't think they have much of an idea what this thing will do. The fact that there is potential for a Cat 2-4 range storm to hit Houston within the next 3 days is enough for the city to take this seriously.

Got some copied/pasted text messages via my grad school buddy from his cousin who works at the hurricane center in Florida. He's an Ag, so if you're on this thread, thanks for looking out!

In essence says there's a reasonable possibility on the table Laura goes to Cat 4 up Galveston Bay, no necessarily that will happen. Also a fairly good chance Houston will be in the region of tropical storm winds.

Kind of crazy there's that much variability ~48 hours out.

Obligatory:

I am just holding out hope that the worst of it lands on the TX/LA border, and we get TS conditions only

From reading the language from guys like Berger, Lanza, and the comments they are making to tweets, it appears to me they don't believe the 10am update.

I wonder what they are going to say if the 4m update has a similar track.

From reading some threads on twitter, apparently getting air clearance to do recon flights to accurately gauge where the center of the storm is not being granted by Cuba. I think that's a big reason why there is so much uncertainty up to this point. At least that's the last I read - could have changed.

if only there weren't so many variables in the atmosphere and we had 100% precise models. then maybe we could feel better about what will happen 4 days from now.

I remember. We were expecting it to come in over Matagorda - and basically pass over my house - and instead it hit East Texas and we didn't even get rain.

Many, including Berger and Lanza, consistently say NHC is the best there is out there, but reading into the language in their tweets, they don't trust the 10am track from the NHC. I find that interesting.

FWIW H-E-B was very normal this morning. They have this stuff down - lots of full pallets of water. Cashier said they are bracing for the nut jobs to panic and crush the store after work today.

Insert Kevin Bacon's "everyone remain calm" gif.

I was in school at A&M at the time. Exact same thing - I remember going to the Bryan HEB for basic groceries and having to pick through cleared shelves because everyone was panic buying. Didn't rain there either.
