TSBARRY: Barry 's rainfall in Arkansas makes it the 5th state just since 2017 to set the record for highest rainfall from a tropical system!!!p86

By the time THEY make a decision, it may be too late for YOU.

Make your own decision. If you're in New Orleans or its immediate environs, I would suggest evacuating NOW.

THIS

decide what you need to do and follow through

we are hoping you can do what you feel is necessary

keep us informed!

This.

Truth is hard to fathom.

If you are waiting to leave. Realize it took some people up to 16 hours to get to Baton Rouge from NOLA prior yo Katrina.

There's not that much time.

NOLA already impacted by flooding yesterday and this storm is sitting just off shore in 91 degree water.

LEAVE......for godsakes who cares what your boss thinks..leave before you get flooded out..

Jim Cantore, wheels down in NOLA today.

It's official.

If you plan on leaving do so now. You do not want to be stuck on I-10 or the causeway trying to get out of there. We were stuck on Airline before Camille hit. Found a motel but it was still bad. Make your plans if your staying or going now.

NWS has increased rainfall total estimates in the greater NOLA area to OVER 20 inches.

LOL

This thing is going straight up the Mississippi. Levees will over top at some point.

Last night they were showing 24' rainfall probability over most of the state of Louisiana.

oops, that's 24", not feet

If cantore shows up to your location your gonna be safe

From Lafourche Parish:

Mandatory evacuation below the Leon Theriot Lock in Golden Meadow at 6 AM tomorrow, Friday, July 12. With that, GLPC anticipates moving to GLPC Storm Phase IV: Mandatory Evacuation for Port Fourchon at that time as well.

None of my 30 relatives are leaving.

They wont make it this time if they stay because the other areas been flooded for months this will overfill nola more than rina

Here again...

They have already made their decision....NO EVACUATION orders will be given.

New Orleans officials have already said they will not be issuing any evacuation orders...

We called that pages ago.

Took a larger chunk from the discussion here it is. Very important...

The initial motion is 275/4. Barry is being steered by a weak low-
to mid-level ridge to the north, and a weakness in the ridge is
forecast to develop during the next 24-48 h. This should allow the
cyclone to turn northwestward and eventually northward. However,
there remains a large spread in the track guidance. The HWRF and
HMON forecast Barry to move generally northward across southeastern
Louisiana, while the UKMET and the UKMET ensemble mean take the
cyclone to the upper Texas coast. The GFS, ECMWF, and Canadian
models lie between these extremes. There was a slight westward
shift in the guidance envelope since the last advisory, which
resulted in the consensus models being close to the previous NHC
forecast track. As a result, the new forecast track is similar to
the previous track, and it calls for the center of Barry to make
landfall on the central Louisiana coast between 36-48 h. After
72 h, the cyclone should recurve northeastward as it enters the
mid-latitude westerlies.

Barry is still being affected by northerly shear, and GOES-16
airmass imagery indicates mid- to upper-level dry air coming from
the northeast has spread over the low-level center. So far, this
has not stopped the development, and the guidance is in good
agreement that intensification will continue. Thus, the new
intensity forecast is similar to the previous one in calling for
intensification until landfall. While not explicitly shown in the
forecast, there is a significant chance that Barry will be a
hurricane when it makes landfall between 36-48 h in agreement with
the HWRF and GFS models. After landfall, Barry should weaken as it
moves through the Mississippi Valley, and it is forecast to become
a remnant low by 96 h.
