Hard to tell if PBZ isn’t too keen on that scenario coming to fruition (I for one hope it doesn’t), if their forecast discussion is just bare bones as we know it so often is, or if they’re hedging their bets because we’re still 60-72 hours out from the onset of rain in our area from this storm. I’m leaning towards hedging their bets, as they do seem to have more to say about tomorrow’s event than they do about the remnants of Ida. But they’re not carrying anything more than 70% chances of rain when Ida moves through. CTP, as usual, has more to say on the matter.
Beyond all that, I’m really worried that this will be a catastrophic event in Louisiana. It’s now up to a high end Cat 4.
