Go home models, you're all drunk:

I was about to post that and saw that you had. I think after it jogged southwest, the models said wait what, and then went haywire.

Yea, they're consistent on the SW, then it's like they just decided to throw a bunch of darts, while facing backward, after spinning around in an office chair for 5 minutes, then let a drunk raccoon in with a Sharpie marker to connect the lines. But what's not-funny but still...you can't entirely help but laugh, New Orleans is back to being a potential target.

Eta, this is an intervention. We're sending you to Hurricanes Anonymous.

Go home models, you're all drunk:

"Do not use this map to make decisions" as if they needed to tell us that.

Eta, don't even think about Louisiana!

On a serious note (sorry, I know everyone's got severe hurricane fatigue this year), here's information on that really bad landslide in Guatemala: https://blogs.agu.org/landslideblog/2020/11/10/queja-landslide/
