So my previous guess regarding Tropical Depression 13′s track was wrong. Now it appears fairly certain it will very slowly turn to the northeast and make landfall in Louisiana. Below are the spaghetti models for Tropical Depression 13, as you can see there is very minimal correlation between them. The official NHC forecast track is a very [read more...]
A long awaited weather pattern shift is forecast to arrive for the upcoming labor day weekend! Our long standing upper level high pressure ridge, which has kept most storm systems at bay and brought record breaking heat for the last two months, is expected to shift eastward as we approach the weekend.

No doubt everyone know’s of Tropical Storm Don’s existence in the southern Gulf of Mexico. The storm track currently takes it well south of north Texas.

Looks like the storm has lost most of its strength after heavy upper level wind shearing and cooler water temperatures in the gulf. The storm has already created about 5 feet of storm surge in eastern New Orleans, areas outside the hurricane flood control systems. The storm will continue to weaken and make a hard [read more...]
Hurricane Ida formed near Nicaragua moving north very slowly today. The storm will continue north at a very slow pace, eventually making it to the Gulf of Mexico by this upcoming Tuesday.
