Re: What happened to predicted storm surge mapping?

It looks like that is issued 48 hours before based on this description:
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/surge/warning/

"3. Availability
When is the graphic issued?
NHC will release the graphic approximately 48 hours before the possibility of life-threatening storm surge from a tropical cyclone for areas along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts of the United States. The graphic is subject to change every six hours in association with each new NHC full advisory advisory package. The graphic will be available approximately 30 minutes after advisory time (3, 9, 15, and 21 UTC)."

I also saw your question about the hurricane hunters. They are doing 6 hourly fixes.

Tropical Cyclone Plan of the Day:
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/recon.php

The most recent Plan of the Day says "BEGIN 3-HRLY FIXES ON MICHAEL AT 09/2030Z."

They are nearing the storm right now:
