Baron is happy to announce that Jeff Huffman has joined our team as a Digital Meteorologist. He was previously the Chief Met for Florida and S. Carolina's network of public media stations. You'll be seeing a lot of Jeff breaking down weather events.
@HuffmanHeadsUp
A lot of damage in southern Louisiana from Hurricane Laura was due to Storm Surge. It is a factor again with Hurricane
#Delta
. Here is an animation that explains what Storm Surge is and what it looks like.
Our latest Baron Hurricane Index Model shows that Hurricane
#Delta
could move into an Unfavorable Environment about 7 hours before landfall Friday aft. into the eve. along Louisiana coast. This could hopefully weaken the storm. Close call, storm will still be dangerous.
More: The margin of error of a forecast cone from the National Hurricane Center 120 hours out is 200 miles in either direction. And this still only happens 2/3 of the time. That’s a 400-mile spread in potential landfall.
Hurricane
