man radar went from scattered showers to heavy bands in like an hour convection starting to fill in closer and closer to center.. if this bombs out overnight I am going to be bummed I decided to pass on this one ...

What is the best radar site to watch once the storm gets close enough to making land fall?

I may be on the eastern parts of this storm here in Covington but I'll be your eyes and ears.

60mm/hr rain rates going through the heavy southern band. Looks to be strengthening at at least a modest pace now that the center is better tucked under convection.

And i'm on the west side by 20 mile

I would use a combination of the New Orleans (LIX) and the Lake Charles (LCH) to watch the radar imagery tonight and Sat.

And this is why rainfall forecasts will be so tough.

I’m in Baton Rouge AKA ground zero for rainfall

And I'm directly under the forecast track in Lafayette, I don't anticipate things going downhill here until well after midnight. Just passing clouds and gusting to around 35mph right now.

There is no way this thing goes through RI, right? Chances have to be near zero, right?

Breeze is picking up here in Crowley but nothing special

I've found a few good ones, RAMMB has a floater http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/ramsdis/online/loop.asp?data_folder=tropical/tropical_nws_radar_floater&width=640&height=480&number_of_images_to_display=12 with archive http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/ramsdis/online/loop.asp?data_folder=tropical/tropical_nws_radar_floater&width=640&height=480&number_of_images_to_display=12

And there are the LCH and LIX radars in updating (though increasingly long) full length gifs

So here is what I have over the years been calling "leaders". On radar with developing storms you will get single cells that will rotate all the way around. They are the leading edge of moisture being pulled in. If this one makes it all the way south to the LLC we should see a large burst of convection..

It's not likely, but it's the Gulf and SSTs are near 90F in some spots. It's possible.

if in the next 6 hours or so we get some convection really wrapping into the center then dont rule out a Cat 2. environment is becoming highly conducive to RI

[StormLogic]

moon at 82% too

[Aric Dunn]

ok well they missed the center to the east this time.. sheesh lol

is this some sort of new thing ?

[Hypercane_Kyle]

Without a doubt the most well-organized Barry has ever been. Hurricane seems likely if it continues to increase in organization.
