Our land loving Arthur is still causing trouble this morning as a Tornado Warning went up in New Orleans this morning and the NHC hoisted a yellow X over the Mississippi River with an arrow pointing to an area where Arthur may reform once back in the Atlantic. The models have suggested this and late yesterday the NHC actually mentioned it in their advisory for Arthur in the discussion. It's been on the table on social media and in discussion between weather people and officially now from the NHC.  It's an opening 10% bid in the tropical version of the game Jeopardy!  And, as always, we just have to watch, wait and see what evolves in reality.

I'll be honest when looking at the tilted structure of Invest 90L and what was stacked against it I felt it probably had a better had a chance as a Low off the Carolinas of getting a name then in BOC or the Gulf. But as I have said before I've seen garbage looking Invests get upgraded just before landfall in the BOC or as they struggle towards land in the Gulf. In this case, 90L preferred land over the warm, tropical waters of the Gulf go figure. The name is gone, the official floater is down but his remnants remain and any damages or God Forbid deaths attributed will be associated with the remnants of Arthur. 

While the NHC has pulled the plug on Arthur, for now, or let's say put it "on pause" we may not be done with it yet. While TS Arthur lacked a cohesive center it has delivered the forecasted punch of flooding, severe weather and tornadoes. Our night of tornadoes in Indiana hours ago has evolved into our morning of tornadoes in both the South and the Midwest. But nothing is more compelling as a tornado that is doing more damage on the ground in the New Orleans general region than many Category 1 Hurricanes would ever do. Lots of ironies here, but there's time to think on that later when Arthur has moved on from this part of the Mississippi River. Weather is weather. Severe Weather is severe weather. Tornadoes happen.

As I type this there is now a tornado warning for Picayune. I've said countless times, there is more to be feared from a messy, sheared minimal Tropical Storm at times than most Category 1 Hurricanes. The word Hurricanes makes people sit up and listen; prepare and pay attention and take precautions. Hurricanes often are tightly wound with a cohesive center and move along a specific path in the Cone. A barely there Tropical Storm or remnants of splashes tornado warnings across a wide area in a patchwork pattern that really has no pattern. And, after days of torrential rain there are areas flooded with stalled out cars that were taken by surprise of the actual intensity of the weather associated with Arthur. 

They may have pulled the floater...

...but the weather from X Arthur remains.

Gotta love Tropical Tidbits.....

..if you use them send them some cash love.

Takes a lot to run his incredible site.

Going wider .... 

Weather popping everywhere.

Dangerous Weather 

One of my favorite NC meteorologists.

Allan Huffman showing increased chance...

...for rain in Raleigh.

Someone could get 2-3 inches of rain he says.

Could indeed but who?

He adds in on X a chance of tornadoes.

Low but no one wants a tornado.

Nighttime Tornadoes happen in NC.

A map is shown above of the Nola Tornado!

Literally cut straight across the river...

sliced through the heart of New Orleans!!

Pay attention to weather warnings today

Not just wherever Arthur's remnants go..

...but to the North across a wide area.

Stay tuned.

Weather associated with the Remnants of Arthur

...may not be over from a tropical perspective.
