"Joe Bastardi on FoxNews just said that the brunt of this is likely to miss New Orleans to the east."
The storm is NOT headed for New Orleans now. It's current path would put it ashore well west of there.
All the models show it curving to the north as it nears the shoreline.
Trying to forecast the track and point of landfall is an exercise in futility in a case like this, unless you have access to at least two big Cray supercomps.
All we can do this time around is look at the modelled output updates. That goes for reporters too. If it doesn't have an HWC or IWIN or NWS stamp on it, don't buy into it.
That's one of things hat has maddened me about watching the news coverage of tis storm: It's always going to be "headed northeast", haha... Funny, it just keeps heading westward every time they say that.
