    Tropical Storm Zeta Advisory 8
    Valid: 03:00 AM CDT Monday October 26, 2020


    [​IMG]


    Current Location: 18.5N, 84.0W
    Geographic Reference: 230 miles southeast of Cozumel, Mexico
    Movement: Northwest at 5 mph
    Max Winds: 65 mph gusting to 80 mph
    Current Hurricane Severity Index: 5 out of a possible 50 points (2 size, 3 intensity)
    Max Predicted Hurricane Severity Index: 8 out of a possible 50 points (3 size, 5 intensity)
    Current Radius of Tropical Storm-Force Winds: 80 miles
    Max Predicted Radius of Tropical Storm-Force Winds: 130 miles
    Organizational Trend: Increasing
    Forecast Confidence: Below Average
    Estimated Central Pressure: 994 mb

    Key Points
    1. Zeta will likely make landfall as a hurricane over the northeast Yucatan Peninsula tonight.
    2. Zeta is predicted to make a final landfall as a strong tropical storm in southeast Louisiana on Wednesday afternoon.

    Our Forecast
    Tropical Storm Zeta has strengthened over the past few hours based on the latest aircraft reconnaissance and satellite data. Additional strengthening is expected today, and Zeta will likely be a hurricane when it makes landfall over the northeast Yucatan Peninsula tonight.

    Some weakening will occur after Zeta moves inland, however a strengthening trend should resume after the system moves back over the warm waters of the southern Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday. We think Zeta will regain hurricane intensity by Tuesday afternoon over the south-central Gulf. While some weakening is expected on Wednesday as the system approaches Louisiana, the latest model guidance has trended a bit stronger. Our forecast now calls for the landfall intensity to be near 70 mph, which is just below hurricane strength. It's important to note that there is an increasing chance that Zeta will make landfall as a hurricane in southeastern Louisiana on Wednesday afternoon.

    We have once again adjusted the track a little to the west at landfall in southeast Louisiana, based on the latest consensus model guidance. However, given the considerable disagreement in the models, we are still not very confident in this landfall prediction. Rapid weakening is expected after landfall, and Zeta should be a tropical depression when it moves over northern Alabama early Thursday morning.

    Expected Impacts Offshore
    Northern Gulf of Mexico:
    Squalls may reach the deepwater areas off the southeast Louisiana coast by noon on Tuesday. Hurricane conditions are possible Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning.

    Expected Impacts Inland
    Northeast Yucatan:
    There is an increasing chance of widespread power outages, as well as some damage. Flooding is also likely.
    Northern Gulf Coast: Squalls may reach the southeast Louisiana coast by early Wednesday. Tropical storm-force winds will likely result in power outages within 100 miles of the track Wednesday. Coastal flooding is also likely.

    Zeta
    Tropical Storm Zeta is located about 200 miles southeast of Cozumel, Mexico with maximum sustained winds near 70 mph. Zeta will likely continue to strengthen as it tracks northwestward today and should be a hurricane when it makes landfall over the northeastern Yucatan Peninsula tonight. Some slight weakening is expected as it moves over land, but restrengthening is likely when it moves back out over the Gulf of Mexico. A final landfall is forecast to occur across southeastern Louisiana on Wednesday afternoon as a strong tropical storm or a hurricane. Please see our latest advisory on your StormGeo web portal for more information.

    Other Disturbances / Areas to Watch
    Disturbance 60 has been identified about halfway between Africa and the Lesser Antilles near 10N, 42W. The system is currently producing a large area of disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity. A general track towards the west is expected over the next several days which will take the disturbance into the Caribbean Sea by this weekend. Conditions are forecast to become more favorable for development next week. It is too early to say where the system may eventually track. The chance of development within the next 7 days is 20 percent.

    Epsilon has transitioned into an extratropical low pressure system and we have removed it from our analysis.

    Zeta 75 mph Category 1 24.7N 91.7W


    Zeta
    Hurricane Zeta is centered about 375 miles to the south-southwest of New Orleans and moving to the north-northwest at 15 mph. Maximum winds are near 75 mph. Zeta will turn more northward to over the central Gulf later today and accelerate to the northeast across the northern Gulf and make landfall over southeast Louisiana this afternoon with maximum winds near 100 mph. Zeta will accelerate to the northeast across the southern and southeastern United States and produce a threat for strong winds and heavy rainfall later today into Thursday. Storm surge impacts and isolated tornadoes are possible across the northern Gulf coast this afternoon into this evening.

    Other Disturbances / Areas to Watch
    Disturbance 60 is located just east of the Lesser Antilles along 60W. It is moving quickly to the west at 25 mph. The system is currently producing a large area of disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity. A general track to the west-northwest across the northeastern Caribbean will occur today into Thursday, then across the Greater Antilles into the Bahamas on Friday into Saturday. It is not expected to develop.

    Disturbance 61 has been identified about 950 miles to the east of Trinidad along 47W. It will move to the west-northwest over the next several days and move into the eastern Caribbean Sea by Friday into Saturday. Conditions are forecast to become more favorable for development late this weekend into early next week as this disturbance interacts with the monsoon trough over the western Caribbean. This interaction may cause an area of low pressure to form over the southwestern Caribbean by Monday or Tuesday of next week. The low is forecast to move westward into Central America later next week. It is expected to be a weak tropical system if it were to develop. The chance of development within the next 7 days is estimated near 30 percent.

    It does sort of feel like God opened up a phone book and decided to send all his storms at whatever portion of the world he randomly pointed at.

    It did. There are calling it baroclinic enhancement which you normally see in the north atlantic as hurricanes transition to extra tropical. Crazy footage of storm surge on the weather channel now in biloxi. There is going to be a long swath of power outages and damage hundreds of miles inland with this one. This is highly unusual.

    I think I heard Cantore say it had something to do with the cold front in Texas.
