ATL: BARRY - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[northjaxpro]

That eastern side really appears to be taking over...

Deep convection and outflow both have expanded on the eastern side. Barry may be finally trying to tighten its COC as it nears the coast.

As for me, had a quick squall this evening but then a gorgeous sunset. A track farther west reduces the rain impact for me (but increases it for others).

Any word about what happened to the Air Force mission that only made one pass?

This is what happens when ya get storms that come from Tennessee and Alabama .. I want my Cape Verdi storms back to track.

Started out as a cluster of storms/MCV out east of the Rockies on July 4.

But I think it wasn’t until the system got to Tennessee that it got on the radar for potential tropical possibilities.. must have sipped copious amounts of Jack Daniels then hit the moonshine going thru Georgia and Alabummer and still suffering from the hangover..

Could have some serious implications for NOLA? That "blob" is right of the forecast track, yes?

Yep its doing another large cyclonic loop. it went north now west about to dive back Sw .. sheeh.. maybe this will be the last time now that there is actual deep convection,.

Mechanical or technical issues I would guess. At least they don't have far to go but they have to prepare a new plane (probably for 06Z).

Barry was decapitated. Now seems to be morphing, and is standing e/w not n/s. I think right side is the new head.
This is obviously not a forecast, as I am dizzy. Good thing it will leave gulf before totally re groups.

[SunnyThoughts]

Now we have 3 blobs. smh

Now we have 3 blobs. smh

Looks similar to a situation that happened with Matthew a few years ago.

Yeah it all depends where that training rain band sets up. Some one is going to get rain in boatloads down there over the next 48 hours. Really worried for everyone down that way. The rainfall is going to be enormous I am afraid.

[EasyTiger]

Am I crazy or is the entire envelope moving SW.

[Hypercane_Kyle]

That's some deep convection going off.

Optical illusion caused by northerly windshear and a slight westerly movement.

Wish we had recon in there. Wouldn't surprise me if he's getting pretty close to hurricane status.

[jasons2k]

A new band, east of the other one, is now setting up towards the delta. We need to keep a watch on this one. It could rotate into New Orleans metro as the night progresses.

Unfortunately the next recon isn't scheduled to take off until 530am central time.

[Aric Dunn]

well whatever is happening with it it had better be moving nnw or its going to miss the landfall point by a lot. considering it looks like its moving wnw now.. little shift northward to overall mass.

[psyclone]

Just catching up with posts...really fantastic discussion as usual. Barry is such an odd asymmetric storm with all the convection on the south side. if it maintains that configuration it will need to make landfall before the bad stuff moves ashore. It's going to be interesting to see if the system establishes any long feeder bands into the gulf after landfall. Sometimes storms do that (almost like they're alive) and I would imagine that potential is higher with a south weighted storm. Long training feeder(s) extending into the gulf could be the feature that delivers excessive to catastrophic QPF volumes to some yet to be determined unlucky folks and is an evolution worth watching out for as the system eventually heads inland.
