So he is now moving WNW at 7 mph, since this is a 6 or 12 hour average, I'm not surprised that they only went with WNW, in another few hours it will be due W.

it gets far enough offshore there is a eddy of 30C to the south....that will juice him up......

Yea that steering current is only gonna him go west. And not long before he would have to go wsw. This is very interesting. I wonder if this thing gets back out to sea?

[catskillfire51]

even though they changed the direction, they didn't move the track or the watchs/warning

@twc_hurricane

Even though the "official" motion is WNW, #Isaac has been stuck at 29.0 North latitude since the 7pm advisory.

KLFY 10 Acadiana's Multimedia Station
This is not what we want to see, but Isaac is jogging westward...or even a little south of due west. On this path, much of the circulation is over water, so we won't see weakening. In fact, we've seen a decent eye form, so there may be minor strengthening. The NHC forecast still shows a general WNW-NW track, but reality isn't backing that up at the moment. Prepare for the winds to increase markedly by daybreak, with rain arriving around the same time. The worst weather for many of us won't arrive until Wednesday afternoon. -David Paul, Chief Meteorologist

This was on facebook, thought this was an interesting tidbit of a local meteorologist here in Lafayette.

[boomstyk]

It's gonna be a loooooooooooooong night for LA. Stay safe everyone.

[ROCK]

did they extend the TS warnings west? trying to confirm

[CYCLONE MIKE]

NHC 969. He's losing pressure! Not much but losing none the less.

Eye has started contracting especially on the southern side. COuld very well ramp back up overnight as long as center stays offshore.

[Time_Zone]

Glad to see the levee's doing so well thus far.

[Steve]

Another band ejected from the center just south of the city and about to smack us again. Ex called freaking as a 60 year old tree fell on the power lines. Daughter is home but tree is leaning away. Agreeing with people who think this storm will cost some money. Also some dry slots ate working their way to the center. Oh and Isaac is legit. Very unique event with a day to go. Damn.
