I think we have a nonzero chance of having a low-end Cat 3 at least in terms of FL winds

[Syx6sic]

judging from the recon info on tropicaltidbits recon is working on another center pass here shortly

[SohCahToa]

Still nothing but sprinkles here and some light winds, but the clouds are darkening. That's a sign the rain isn't too far behind.

For the 37th time this year, we are holding down the fort in Mandeville, Steve!

Hang tough SohCahToa.

We are about as ready as we can be. Plenty of supplies, big ol pot of gumbo on the stove. Just waiting on the potato salad. If it gets bad, at least I have gumbo and potato salad.

It just keeps looking better. In late October. Crazy.

I'm with you here. Hope recon is able to stay the whole time

Muscular donut core developing at landfall...

I think the real impact will be on the Mississippi coast...

Recon about to sample the NE quadrant.

[Cataegis96]

Convection is primarily located upshear now, but the structure is too solid for any hope of rapid weakening at this point. A cat 2 landfall appears to be a lock now. This NE pass will be telling. I expect a slight uptick in winds.

Best looking CAT2 in the Atlantic basin since Alex 2010.

Yeah, the weakening trend we've been expecting due to shear/cooler water doesn't appear like it'll happen. This'll be another intensifying hurricane hitting the Gulf Coast.

Also the westernmost RI on record this late in the season

Eyewall lightning firing up

[Steve]

Here comes the yellows. Looks like a good 6-7 hours of chaos ahead. Woohoo!

[supercane4867]

Hopefully we will get 2 or 3 more passes in the SE eyewall at landfall.

[tolakram]

They will sample the SE quad next set.

[cheezyWXguy]

NE quad data is going to be interesting. Radar suggests winds in the NE are a bit stronger than the SE, although it’s still very far from the radar site and those velocities may not be getting picked up well
Edit: looks like fl winds weren’t as high. Go figure...

Wanted to share the instructions given by the St Bernard Parish Sheriff, on how to stay safe during Zeta.

"Stay inside, Stay inside, Stay inside..... And if that's too confusing for ya....Then just stay inside"
