Delta is currently (as of 5 p.m. Oct 6) a Cat 4 with winds of 145.
The pressure is 956 mb (28.23 in Hg). Isn't the pressure a little high for a storm with winds of that speed? Going strictly off memory here.

The track projections continue to shit a little bit to the west. Baton Rouge looks It may get hit hard.

I'll answer my own question - yes, the pressure is quite high for a Cat 4: 4 — Extreme 920 to 944 mb or 27.17 to 27.88 inQuote:

Winds are now down to 130 as it encounters some shear.
Looks like the hmon is showing it pushing further west around Lafayette and staying west of the Mississippi line until it reaches the la/ark/ms line.
Looking better to me
Dam right. Don't want this monster anywhere near Biloxi. These storms usually jog a bit to the sides by 10 - 20 mile as they get closer but all the models are being in agreement and consistent as to where it comes ashore and the inland track. BTW all Tabasco lovers better stock up on that shut cause Avery Island is going to get wiped out.Quote:

Additionally, most of MS will be on the eastern side and there will be an isolated tornado threat as the bands move through. Good day Saturday to break out your copy of the Kama Sutra. Going to be nasty weather outside and the rain will knock out satellite for TV. So go on and let your wife / gf play qb and see if she can find your first down stick.
I agree! Good way to burn 3 minutes.Quote:

The hmon showing it making landfall close to lake Charles now unless it keeps going west.
The 7 p.m. Central has winds at 90 mph (increasing after leaving Mexico, as expected), moving NW rapidly at 17 mph. Central pressure 973 mb. Mississippi and north Alabama will be on the "dirty" side of the storm, if the predicted path holds - meaning lots of rain and tornadoes possible.Quote:

We got into Shreveport from the MS Coast a little while ago, drove through rain from Wiggins all the way here.
For Tate county... 2-4" inches of rain between fri-sun. 10% chance of flash flooding.Quote:

So.. I wouldn't be worried about much.
Only people that have much to worry about are from pretty much the state of Louisiana especially from tx/la state line over to morgan city... upto baton rouge and then along the west side of 55 up to Yazoo city. As mentioned on the east side beware of the potential of popup tornadoes.
Lot's of good info here..

As of now Delta looks to continue strengthening but that should end before sunrise.
I'm seeing a Cat 1 hitting the coast land. Cooler water with some wind shear.
How will the wind and rain be in north MS around 630p tomorrow?
I have already tested my ESPN ap on the smart tv. I fully expect satellite tv to crap out. Also, I have fresh batteries in the radio just in case of power outage.
Just copied off of Memphis Channel 5 NBC weather site ...
Windy with periods of rain Saturday into Saturday night. Some will be heavy at times. Rain totals will range from 1-3″ in most areas with the higher amounts in north Mississippi. Winds will gust up to 40 mph or higher in spots, especially between 6 AM and noon. Highs will be in the low to mid 70s. East wind 10-25 with gusts to 40 mph.
Delta is about to make landfall, TWC says within a couple of hours. Will be a Cat 2.
I suspect the Alabama/Bears game will be a mess in Oxford tomorrow night. Streaming ESPN apparently didn't work all that well for the Arkansas game last weekend based on several posts.Quote:

You can mirror your phone to a smart tv if you can get the ESPN app on your phone.Quote:

I wanted to watch the first half of that game before ours. Oh well
I have Dish and lose the signal with anything over a light rain, but I've got a Roku so shouldn't have any problem as long as the internet stays up. The storm's not supposed to affect us until late Saturday night/early Sunday morning, and even then not very much. We're on the tornadic side though if the track is correct.Quote:
