As some models anticipated, north and northwest side of #Isaias seems worst as far as wind due to continued interaction with upper jet. Lots of 70 to 100 mph gusts from Pensacola up through Crestview. Recent gust to 99 mph at WeatherFlow site in Navarre, and Pensacola ASOS gusted to 92 mph.

Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.

That outflow channel provided by the upper level jet to the north is doing some work. Will the jet approaching from the west make it in time to increase shear appreciably to start any significant weakening before landfall?

Another update to this figure... showing all 11 track forecast cones for #Isaias as of Friday morning. There's a very focused 75-mile stretch of coastline that has been inside every cone so far. Landfall will be very near Pensacola FL around midnight tonight.

Last travel tournament of the "fall" season this wknd in Baton Rouge before school soccer starts. Looking forward to the travel break. The girls haven't lost a game, with a 10-0-1 record this fall, and 17-2-1 over their last 20 games. Honestly, some really good U14 girls soccer over the last year.

The tropical world have mostly been impressed with the AI models. Here, you can see NHC forecast (dots) on the far eastern edge of the physics models, but when you include the AI models the NHC track essentially goes right down the middle. The official forecast is leaning towards the AI guidance.

Did you know hurricanes are one of our critical fire weather patterns in the South? Lingering drought and Isaias will team up to result in a critical fire environment over the Lower Mississippi Valley Thursday through Saturday. Dry air is already plentiful across the region.

Some important differences between the conventional physics-based models (European and American ensembles are 1st and 2nd panels) and the AI models (Google Deepmind operational and experimental ensembles are 3rd and 4th panels). The differences in both track and intensity are obvious. #Isaias

Some trends east in a multi-model ensemble. Also some remarkable agreement at this range for something still barely there. We supposedly have soccer in Baton Rouge this weekend so close eye to see if this travel happens.

Morning Google DeepMind continues to be quite aggressive in showing a significant hurricane making landfall somewhere between Mobile and Panama City, while physics based models are gradually trending more aggressive as well, hurricane models show hurricane at landfall, tho farther W than GDM #92L
ECENS model tracks for #92LGoogle DeepMind tracks for #92L

For the Braves’ next act, they’re going to bring a 71-year-old Home Depot employee out of the bullpen who spent 17 years pitching for the El Paso Chihuahuas before Atlanta discovered him and he, too, will throw 3 shutout innings.

Votto made some other dumb comment like this on Tuesday in the 1st inning - claiming the Braves won't win after the Phillies scored first. Loved Votto as a player, but he's been questionable in the booth.

“I don’t think the Braves are going to be scoring any more runs with the way Wheeler looks…” -multi-pitch walk- -two-run Ozzie Albies home run- In the words of my PhD advisor, never make a forecast you don’t have to make.

Meteorologists have gotten really good at predicting disruptive events like hurricanes, blizzards, and tornado outbreaks with precision only dreamed of 30 years ago. Hurricane track forecasting has improved so that a four-day forecast now is about as accurate as a one-day forecast was back in 1991.
