I posted about this yesterday
https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=3317909

Storms that form around the Bay of Campeche are notoriously slow to exit into the GOM (and models can struggle with that). I'm a bit confused as to why they didn't start slinging aircraft into this thing yesterday for model data. The models need as much real time data as they can get because once this thing starts to move its going to speed up. Not that it matters much in the big picture because if anybody on the West Coast ain't hunkerin' or runnin' inland if they're vulnerable to any type of surge at all they deserve what they get IMO.
