A quick update on the system shown in yesterday’s models. The latest run of the ECMWF shows the system in a bit more clarity. It is basically predicting a hurricane approaching the coast of central or western Louisiana by the end of next week. Do not worry so much about the path this far out but rather about the consistency of a storm forming and strengthening as it approaches the northern Gulf Coast. It is all still a prediction with nothing currently in the southern Gulf to concern us. But the ECMWF is a solid model, if not the finest around today. To see it continuing to predict this system, prompts a bit more caution. Only time will tell but it looks like we may have to be concerned with the Gulf by this time next week. We will continue to follow this at CajunWX and update as needed.
Models Still Show Gulf Storm
