Both the :

and the NAM:
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/namer/nam/18/index_slp_m_loop.shtml
Forecast continued NW movement for about 6 hours and the turn west for about another six hours along 29 north then back to the north over or just west of Galveston.
Now I realize that the is not always the best model for tropical systems but the agreement is remarkable.

The 18Z (also not the best for hurricanes) also shows a NW, then W, then NW again motion before landfall. I'm not sure what the models are picking up on, but we'll see how it plays out from here. If nothing else, that suggests the storm might slow down some as the steering currents become slightly less defined. It seems to be cruising along pretty quickly at the moment.

As if on cue, the eye has made an apparent wobble to the west on the radar loop in the last few frames (actually looks like something just rudely shoved it to the west). Some of that may be an artifact of how the half eyewall is wrapping around the center of circulation.

Does anyone online now have the software to get the pressure readings along the coast...say, Galveston to Morgan City?

I was just noticing that, it will be interesting to seee what happens. BTW JB also made a comment about that in his afternoon update.
What version of the was that. Do you have a link ?

It may be my poor eyesight, but it seems to me that the map overlays are different between the floaters and the radars.
I am wondering if anyone else sees this. I also think this may be one of the reasons for the recent controversy.
Just a thought.

They are sleeping. They will be up all night is my guess.

The version I am looking at is not available on the web to my knowledge (I realize there is more than one floating around... I should be more specific). It is capable of resolving the system pretty well (initalizes the system at around 960mb), but the tracks have been off some. I mention it only because it shows a similar westward jog to the 18Z . I'm interested to see what the 18Z will show with the track.

Well since you aren't sleeping I was wondering if we could find someone AWAKE to venture forth on the weather conditions to the NE. After all I'm an Arkie and the word tornado rings a bell. :?:

I've been mooching around for hours. Been looking at the Sats, learning how to read the recons properly etc as no new posts to read. (Don't normally add as I am still learning - been lurking a couple of months.) I'll be up early to catch up - was waiting for the 6pm but don't think I can last out till the 8pm.

No sign of any significant westward jog in the 18Z :
http://www.srh.noaa.gov/productview.php?pil=WBCCHGQLM
The westward movement of the eye seems to have stopped in the last half hour... of course, it hasn't really moved in any other direction either in that time. Satellite indicates a slow NW movement of the overall cloud pattern over the last hour or so.

Latest recon has the pressure back to 930mb, with max flight-level winds of 121 knots. There was a dropsonde a couple of hours ago that measured 110 knots at the surface, so the current official intensity still seems to be accurate.

Largest pressure falls last hour (as of 6 CDT) were in Beaumont, TX (1.6 mb), with Galveston at 1.1 mb and Lake Charles at 1.0 mb.

Latest recon - I'm confused. Is that an elliptical eyewall that is normally in the form of Deg/Max/Min or is that three eyewalls (normally formed Radius-Radius-Radius)?

Using the last two Vortex messages.
And assuming that there is No deviation from the present heading.
Rita should cross the shoreline near Star Lake and Clam Lake,TX.
This point is roughly half way between Sabine Pass,TX and High Island,Tx on Highway 87.
If this hypothetical track were to continue.
Rita would pass East of Winnie,TX and cross Interstate 10 East of Exit 833.
This is in the Hamshire, TX area and about 15 miles West of Beaumont, TX.
All of the above assumes no changes in 's heading prior to Landfall.
These points are for the center of the storm. The radius of Hurricane Force Winds is much larger and extend outward up to 75 miles.
