That means it’s gone to CAT-3 early(NOAA forecast points).
Mite go to CAT-4 BEFORE it hits Cuba,,,
I guess that could kick it back toward Nola,,,and,,
That warm water eddy north of Cuba could push it to CAT-5
before it hits those wells/rigs...:0(
This is the worst the storm surge should get for NO, and Gulfport to Mobile coast (approx sunrize Monday morning).
Darkest red shaded zone is 28' (<35')
