Good morning.
Hurricane Delta made landfall on Friday evening near Creole, Louisiana, about 13 miles east of where Laura made landfall, as a Cat 2 hurricane. Peak sustained winds recorded on land were in the mid 80s with a peak gust of 100 mph at Texas Point, Texas near the Louisiana border at Sabine Pass. The highest rainfall was at Iowa, La., about 20 miles east of Lake Charles, La. with 16.51" recorded. The highest surge recorded was 9.3 feet SSW of Lafayette, La..
Below is a chart of Deltas Wind History. The yellow are storm force winds and the red hurricane force.
Currently there is nothing of real concern out there. One system exists which should encounter high shear and even if it should develop, it should miss the US.
Until next time,
Matt.
