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.

If this thing comes through central MS as a 65 MPH tropical storm with higher wind gusts we're gonna have some serious power outages.

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 in
This is taken from the Hurricane Glossary: Scroll down to the heading "Saffir-Simpson Scale". https://secoora.org/education-outrea...cane-glossary/

I predict it moves closer to hitting nearer the TX/LA line. Just got a feeling. Could be the Buffalo Trace.

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.

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.

Track continues to shift west. Current forecast is landfall in western LA during the day Friday and working its way to around Greenville by daybreak Saturday before pushing off NE. Anyone in western MS, all of LA, and SE Arkansas should prepare for heavy wind and rain this weekend. 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.

That's pretty much what Katrina did. Except her winds were sustained here for hours and hours. Only bright side here is Delta is moving fast.

Just watched an episode of Andy Griffith where Otis fell in the courthouse and hurt his knee. He said his knee was already hurt from an old football injury - from playing football with his wife. HA!

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.
