So Coop, most of the graphs are showing this thing hitting Louisiana, but an article in the Enterprise said it could come and hit us instead.  What are the odds of this thing actually hitting us?  I know that anything can happen, but is it a realistic possibility that we are hit again?

Impact Weather Forecast

Updated: Wednesday, September 19th 2007 5:23am CDT

Tropical Disturbance 50 moved very slowly westward overnight and is now located near the coast of Florida just north of Miami. Pressures in that area continue to fall, though the disturbance remains disorganized. Little has changed as far as our thinking overnight. We expect the disturbance to move across south Florida today and emerge into the eastern Gulf on Thursday. By Thursday, wind shear should be slowly relaxing, and it's likely that a tropical depression will form.

High pressure to the north from Thursday through Saturday should result in a west to west-northwest movement at 7-10 mph during that period. We're still not sure how strong the high pressure will be yet, so our confidence in the eventual landfall remains low. The European model, which has done very well so far this season, is forecasting that high pressure will remain strong enough to steer the developing storm westward all the way to the mid Texas coast on Sunday. Most other model guidance indicates landfall from the upper Texas coast to southeast Louisiana. Our thinking is that the most likely track would be toward the upper Texas coast to the mid Louisiana coast with landfall as early as noon Saturday, but possibly as late as Sunday.

As for intensity, current model guidance suggests very slow strengthening up until landfall. We do not expect rapid intensification at this time due to the presence of an upper-level low to the west of the developing storm. This low will likely impart wind shear for at least the next several days. But we do think that there is a good chance that the storm could reach hurricane strength prior to its eventual landfall.
