The turn has already begun - it’s very gradual. It was moving west-northwest now northwest. Hard data from Recon indicates it, thankfully. However, wobbles can still happen. But, no true “missing the turn” or anything.rselby0654 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2020 11:32 am We definitely need to watch this closely because around this time is when Rita totally went off of the forecast.

Same page. Marco may have paved the way for a solid left side here
But at this point, with the size she’s attaining, even a 20 mile wobble = 10-20 higher MPH winds here potentially, right?weatherguy425 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2020 11:36 amThe turn has already begun - it’s very gradual.

The NHC said it was moving northwest last night. Has not turned.weatherguy425 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2020 11:36 amThe turn has already begun - it’s very gradual.

It certainly can. 20 miles is pretty substantial. No sign of that yet. Here is a wonderful reference - a great follow on Twitter, btw.Texashawk wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2020 11:39 amBut at this point, with the size she’s attaining, even a 20 mile wobble = 10-20 higher MPH winds here potentially, right?weatherguy425 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2020 11:36 amThe turn has already begun - it’s very gradual.

Because the coastline is also curving - to the south in SETX. 20 miles of wobble and/or west side expansion could be catastrophic.Texashawk wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2020 11:39 amBut at this point, with the size she’s attaining, even a 20 mile wobble = 10-20 higher MPH winds here potentially, right?weatherguy425 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2020 11:36 amThe turn has already begun - it’s very gradual.

Thanks. Laura's CoC vector has not changed on average in the last 24 hours. She was on the right side of her projected path 24 hours ago, and now is in the middle. I'm not saying that Laura won't start turning to the NNW and eventually N (because she'll reach the western edge of the ridge), but empirically she has not yet.weatherguy425 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2020 11:44 amIt certainly can. 20 miles is pretty substantial.

Initial chance occurred between the 1 & 4 AM CDT advisories. These turns are gradual. We shouldn’t dismiss it. I’m just saying nothing out of the TX, LA border range right now.weatherguy425 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2020 11:44 amIt certainly can. 20 miles is pretty substantial. No sign of that yet.

Technically, the turn has begun. WNW to NW between 1 & 4AM advisories. Still, some uncertainty with the very specifics as there always tends to be - like you mentioned.DoctorMu wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2020 11:48 amThanks.

Please pardon my ignorance, but what would be the zero hour for this beast to make the true northern turn to not effect Harris County?
Would you please show me the map for that as I'm near 45 in Spring. Someone in Storm2K posted a experimental interactive graph where you could look up where Hurricane Force winds\surge would go near your house. Two days ago I was very near the Hurricane force winds. Would you please share that?MontgomeryCoWx wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2020 8:47 am Hurricane force winds could extend out to Harris and Montgomery Counties. That’s how much she’s grown.
Wow
