Tropical Storm Karen, 4 PM CDT advisory... (tmi3rd)
— Open Blogger

Hi there, Morons and Moronettes. tmi3rd here, and if I'm not doing the ONT, it must mean we have a tropical system threatening the continental US. So, over to the weather desk with us...

Tropical Storm Karen, as of the 4 PM CDT advisory, is a strong tropical storm with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (gusts to 65), and is located about 235 miles south-southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River. Movement is currently north-northwest at 9 miles per hour, and Karen is expected to bend more to the north-northeast over the next few days.

A tropical storm warning is in effect from Morgan City, LA to the mouth of the Pearl River (that's the MS/LA line, for those not familiar with the intricacies of the Gulf Coast).

More after the fold...

So, early October, and we're only now getting a storm threatening the continental US? Remember that when you hear more about ManBearPig from your neighborhood enviro-tard.

The key feature to TS Karen will be the 3-5 foot storm surge likely from the mouth of the Mississippi River to Mobile Bay. To the west and east of that, the storm surge should be more along the lines of 1-3 feet. Also, if you're in Apalachee Bay or Cedar Key, you could see 2-4 feet of surge.

The thinking right now is a landfall somewhere around the mouth of the Mississippi River, initially, and then going inland around Mobile Bay. This forecast WILL change as we get a little closer to actual landfall. The path always deflects a bit as the storm interacts with land.

Intensity-wise, Karen is not interacting with favorable conditions to strengthen into a hurricane. There's a lot of wind shear and dry air in its path, and it'll start interacting with land before too long. Land keeps the winds from speeding up.

Bottom line: if you're in low-lying coastal areas, you'll want to get everything off the ground and act like a flood's coming. If you've grown up in the area, you've been through this before. If you're new to tropical systems, this is the kind of storm that's a big rain maker and pushes a lot of water in front of it. Probably not much of a need to board up the windows, but make sure you don't do anything like try to cross high water.

Finally, you're inland and anywhere along a diagonal through about DC (see the above map)... the inland flooding that comes from a slow-moving rainmaker is what tends to get more people killed. I can't emphasize enough: DO NOT TRY TO DRIVE THROUGH HIGH WATER. People want to go see what a high creek looks like or what high rivers look like, and that's when they fall in and get killed. I don't know specifically where this storm will go, so if it looks like you're in the inland path, just stay aware.

It's going to be a busy weekend around the tmi3rd household, so if you've got questions, find me on Twitter at my handle.

Have a good weekend and stay safe!

4 It's the rain. Remember that storm that stalled over Eastern NC and left 500 inches or so of rain. OK maybe 30 inches. Floods etc. We get one Hurricane at the end of the season? I have a bad feeling about this.

17 Yeah, what I'm going to do here is called "Kite Surfing". Nobody should ever do this during a wind storm. I just want to illustrate how powerful the wind is right now. In a few moments, my cameraman is going to help me inflate the kite, and I'll be pulled along like a lure on a fishing line. Ok, Joe, I'm ready. This has been Jason, reporting liiiiiiiive.

29 Buy peanut futures. Karen is going to dump a shitload of rain here in Georgia and there's a lot of worry that it's going to really jack up the peanut harvest...and they are already behind in getting them out of the fields. As of three days ago, reports were that only about 16% of the crop has been brought in (normally at this time it's about 25% already in), with plans to ramp up harvesting next week. That won't happen if the fields are too mucked up to get into.

36 I have to add about the floodwater: possible downed cables and electrocution in water you cannot see. It is not good to wade in, dummies, and I see people acting as if, zowie! Waterpark in front yard! If you survive not being electrocuted watch out for the fat, evil and stinky water moccasins and the large floating balls or families of fire ants clinging together. Both will kill or make you wish you had died. Oh, and flooded sewers/septic tanks in the mix. If you are on your Obamaphone, however, go for it!

75 Jean - here's a comment referencing the original:

http://minx.cc/?blog=86post=343918#c21248869

It references comment 155, which got reordered when I foolishly deleted the originals. However, the comment neighborhood AROUND the current comment 155 narrows down the access time to exactly:

October 04, 2013 02:57 PM

...since there's several comments on either side of the current 155 with the same time stamps.

So anything outbound from Caci at that time is the likely culprit.

139 For me (not that you're asking), Uggla being left off the roster is a "let it burn" move. Who cares if he hits 1 homerun in the series? We have 99% certainty that he's going to strike out instead. I'd rather use him being benched for inspiration to actually do something next year vs. riding out his smooth contract without the fairweather Atlanta fans riding him all next year

140 Today I got my first Shutdown Bulletin when I checked the earthquake.usgs.gov map. They had a popup saying: Government Furlough - Due to a lapse in Federal funding, the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program has suspended most of its operations. While the USGS will continue to monitor and report on earthquake activity, the accuracy or timeliness of some earthquake information products, as well as the availability or functionality of some web pages, could be affected by our reduced level of operation. Closed the popup, then it looked like the website was normal. Whew!

194 Haha. They always juice these guns in the playoffs. Kimbrel is probably throwing 95-97. Thing is- when you short arm it basically with movement, it looks like 100+

195 Posted by: BacktoGA at October 04, 2013 09:31 PM (qSR4M) We were money during the season and always crapped out in the playoffs. My Soph year we were ranked as high as 3rd in the country. My Senior year, 4th. Never made it out of our Regional playoffs.

198 Intensity-wise, Karen is not interacting with favorable conditions to strengthen into a hurricane. There's a lot of wind shear and dry air in its path, and it'll start interacting with land before too long. Land keeps the winds from speeding up.

When this system first formed, NOAA was predicting it would make hurricane force - but it never came very close.

Had it, it would have been the third hurricane of this busy season (well, it was forecast to have been a busy season). The other two lasted about 12 hours each, then fizzled. One was out in the middle of the Atlantic, and harmless. The other hit the mid-section of Mexico's east coast. Supposed to come ashore as a 'cane, but couldn't hold the energy and fizzled.

Another bad season for the doom-sayers.
