Tropical Depression Isaac:

SRAIN....what are you showing? Can't see pics at work! Thanks

Visible loop of Isaac.

Image not showing up for me either...The others did.

Board is quiet.

Board is quiet.

I know right. I need updates!! Lol.

[tireman4]

I think the Euro is coming in...

[TxLady]

Board is quiet.

Eerily...

But since it is, at the moment, thought I would share this from the other board regarding my earlier question about "Hurricane" vs "Tropical Storm" designation:

"I heard a point that if you're a homeowner who gets damage, you really don't want this upgraded to a hurricane.
Why? Because then the higher hurricane deductible kicks in on the homeowner's policy."

followed by:

"I just called Allstate and in the state of Louisiana you are not subject to the
Hurricane Deductible if the damage occurs and claim is made as a result of a
Tropical Storm. Wow, I am really shocked."

Not sure how all this works for the State of Texas. But, it does explain why some posters are so concerned with the actual "Hurricane" designation of a storm.

I'm seeing some of Isaac's clouds all the way here in San Marcos. At least I can say I got some part of this storm.

I'm in San Marcos too! Do you go to Texas State!?

I sure do! We have another Texas State student on this board?

Yessir! What's your major? Mine is GIS

12z Euro backs off from the "Texas inland" scenario it showed with its 0z run. The 12z run is further east and moves Isaac southeast to northwest through the state of Louisiana.

[Rip76]

That's about it then....

[Portastorm]

That's about it then....

The Euro hasn't exactly been the mark of consistency these last few days.

And this is coming from someone who used to bow before "King Euro."

[redneckweather]

That's about it then....

Yep.

Come on fall weather!

[tireman4]

Yeah Porta is right. GFS has been nails this season. Just nails....

[rnmm]

The GFS has done very well this season as we have all seen. If the EURO solution does turn out to be right, that does not mean that the GFS is now all of a sudden garbage. I am not sure why there is bickering about models anyway, with a storm looming on our neighbors.

Maybe I am crazy, but after taking a good long look at GRL Radar, I am see the COC moving much more west then north. Almost as if to be heading about 290 degrees. Does anyone else see this...or am I really going cuckoo? LOL

I've been seeing a steady West to WNW motion pretty much since about 10 this morning. Might have even seen a slight wobble to the wsw at one point. If so, that was clearly just a wobble.

[jasons2k]

I see it too, especially on the velocity loop where the center shows-up better...

[Rip76]

I can't stop watching this.

[rnmm]

Ok I admit I am horrible when it comes to movement of tropical systems, I haven't gotten that down yet, but I take it this is the picture folks are looking and saying it's moving west? I really am just trying to learn here.

[michmich]

Looks like he's tightening up, too.

[Alvin Girl]

Question: I know everyone keeps saying model watching at this point is pointless, but if this storm is still over water (at the moment) and these models (the most credible ones) are showing a westward trend....then would'nt they STILL have some sort of influence to the NHC and the track? ....Trying to learn here. Thanks

As NWS Houston/Galveston mentions, there very well could be...

THERE COULD BE SOME SIGNIFICANT
CHANGES IN THE FORECAST PACKAGE THIS AFTN IF THE 12Z GFS SUPPORTS
THE THE 12Z NAM.

Have the 12z GFS and 12z NAM come out yet?
