As TS Nicholas lingers in the western/NW'Tern Gulf, the moisture flow will dominate the region. Activity will be moving at a good pace for the next few days which will help keep rainfall totals for any individual storm within tolerance.…
Very low humidity will at the very least be noticeable by most as the relatively dry air will make things feel a bit more comfortable. The comfortable conditions will continue through Saturday before the return flow slowly begins to work…
We will focus more on the less humid flow as a cold front slowly moves to the SE. This will at the very least be noticeable by most as the relatively dry air will make things feel a bit more…
As a tropical wave south moves towards the Florida Big Bend area, expect isolated t-storms through tonight with any heavy rain rather localized and not worthy of a large scale Flash Flood Watch. Activity will wind down this evening as…

This afternoon will bring hot temperatures in the wake of yesterday's cold front. Temperatures will climb to around 90 degrees but will be rather tolerable a a less humid flow continues to dominate the region. The aforementioned frontal boundary will…
A surface low associated with Tropical Depression Ida will continue to move NE, dragging a weak cold front into south Mississippi Thursday morning. Northwesterly flow aloft will develop across the area today between the upper level High pressure over Texas…
The Gulf sea breeze will keep thunderstorm chances going into the afternoon for areas along and south of I-10. Meanwhile, slightly drier air will attempt to work into southeastern LA which should scatter out some cloud cover areas north of…
Trailing feeder bands in the wake of now remnant Ida will continue to drag across the area thorough today. These bands will slowly press southeastward into the Gulf through the morning and late afternoon. Despite southeastward movement of the band,…
With IDA to the NNW moving towards north central Mississippi, expect gradual improvement through today. Widespread rain across the area will continue and gradually decrease to scattered showers later today as Ida tracks slowly to the north. After the center…
The NWS Doppler radar imagery and data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft showed that Ida made landfall around 1655 UTC along the southeastern coast of Louisiana near Port Fourchon with estimated maximum winds of 130 kt and…
Hurricane Ida made landfall at 11:55 am in Port Fourchon, Louisiana’s southernmost port. As this storm continue to move NNW, conditions in south Mississippi will continue to go downhill. Coastal Mississippi will see more flooding as winds from the east…
Ida's rapid strengthening appears to have leveled off within the past hour or so. NOAA and Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft that have been in the storm this morning have reported peak flight-level winds of 146 to 148 kt between…
Guidance is relatively tight in terms of Louisiana as the most likely to be impacted. The timing and the intensity of Ida is the main forecast concerns. Ia could potentially become a MAJOR HURRICANE prior to making landfall in SE…
