He will be inland soon. Many will get lots of rain, some way too much. So we wait for the next one. I've tried hard to help folks stay in one piece over the years, but I don't feel a part of anything here anymore. I'll be lurking now and again, but there will be no posts during the remainder of this hurricane season.

Best of luck to everyone...

Why the drama, man? Did I miss something? What happened?

You are definitely still a part of this community. You are a longtime member and I like your posts. Perhaps take a breather for a bit and maybe you'll feel better. :D

There's been a blowup of colder cloud tops near the center recently.

As far as I can tell he is still moving but more slowly now. It looks like he might have actually jogged wsw/sw again.

Im not sure that it is actualy making any movement to the SW. I think it is just firing more convection on the southern side which may give it that illusion of moving that way.

For those concerned about "the blob" It is just starting to come into view on the radar out of lake charles. Once it is in view that should answer some questions. Also it appears the blobs strength is falling off. I wouldnt worry too much about it.

I think it has slowed down or may even have stalled but shouldn't make much of a difference as eventually it will keep going west.

The hurricane is getting sucked in by it's own convection?? I don't think that can happen.

Alex is about to punch the coast with his "fist" of convection! :lol:

Hi Res VIS imagery along with radar are the only way we can truly determine movement without RECON.

The BH has slowed building east.probably only temporary......but with the high over the Central US already closed the weakness left by the trof..ALex has no where else to go but west or even WSW....it is crawling though...


BTW- nice big chunk of Alex approaching from the south....might get some squally weather around the coast....

and what is up with Bigbyte? sheesh I can even go to Denver for a day and come back and the whole board is falling apart... :D

Local radar shows some scattered activity moving into coastal areas on the outskirts of Alex's very large circulation. A large plume of moisture and heavy rain just off the coast of LA looks poised to make a run through SE TX later this morning.

Tommorow's gon' be wet
