Major Hurricane Ida

Will the shape of the coastline as Ida approaches cause any wobbles left or right, and any contraction in the eye  due to frictional effects?

Frictional effects often pull hurricanes right of their extrapolated track just before landfall. Doesn’t always happen though, and that part of LA is extremely low and flat. Hoping not with Ida as that would be worse for NOLA.

I think that's fairly normal in the strongest, right? The flight level winds and surface winds are close with the big max in between. 

At least some of them from my recollection, yeah. I recall reading some papers on those two in particular and how normal FL wind reduction to the surface wasn't always appropriate.

Ida is really pulling off another Hurricane Michael with intensification likely to occur all the way into landfall. Given continued remarkable pressure falls, expect one of these passes by HH will eventually yield category 5 SFMR data.
