boris said, it s downright dangerous. how bad is it going to be today? it s extremely dangerous. it s 8:00 in the morning in new orleans and the temperature is currently 82 degrees. we all know the gulf moisture just makes it really humid along those gulf coast states. so you factor in the humidity with this 82-degree temperature, and it s feeling like it s in the mid- to upper 80s, nearly 90 degrees. and again, it s only 8:00 in the morning. we re only going to go up from here. we have a heat advisory in effect for all of southeast louisiana. and you can see here that temperatures are going to be right around average. that s what it s going to say on your thermometer. but when you add in the humidity, it s going to make it feel like it s close to 100 degrees, not just in new orleans, but also baton rouge and it s not confined to southeast louisiana. this goes into biloxi, as well, where biloxi, you re going to see temperatures feel like they re close to 100 degrees. this isn t just
where we see the center come ashore, that s where we could see up to 10, maybe 15 inches of rain. some areas isolated up to 20 inches of rain. and then we see a wide swath of 6 to 10 inches all the way up through mississippi and into the tennessee valley. on the right side of the system we re going to see tornadoes. those tornadoes are going to come ashore here in new orleans going into biloxi and possibly mobile too. of course you re going to see the category 4 hurricane-force winds come ashore as well. one of the worst hazards, i believe, with ida is going to be the flooding and the storm surge. we have a storm surge warning up for the areas in pink. that goes from morgan city all the way to mobile. around the mouth of the mississippi river, grand isle, you could see a maximum storm surge of 15 feet. this is going to cause structures to become uninhabitable near the coastline. when you factor in the flooding, the storm surge, and the wind, poppy, we re looking at
we begin with fred. moving west northwest. it got torn apart moving over cuba. once it gets back over over the gulf of mexico, we anticipate it will restrengthen back into a tropical storm before getting into biloxi. we re still going to have impacts from the storm, water spouts, isolated thunderstorms and strong winds expected for the southern half of florida. here you can see a lot of outer bands expected to move through as the storm is expected to slide off to the north. it s on the eastern side of the storm which doesn t bode very well for florida. rainfall will be the concern. atlanta, montgomery, charlotte as it interacts with the front may get more rainfall than areas of florida from that storm. then you have tropical storm grace. for now, this storm is expected
an hour, that is where it s going to be contained. and that is now moving through biloxi. so biloxi is experiencing the worst of the storm. 85 miles an hour, that s the latest advisory from the national hurricane center. we know where the storm is headed. it s headed to the north and booking at 20 miles an hour. i was with you earlier this morning, this thing was out in the yucatan peninsula. it only took a day and it s made landfall. now within the next hour or so making the secondary landfall here across gulf port and into biloxi. mobile bay will also be seeing storm surge. that water will continue to be pushed up as long as the winds continue to come in from the south. that s not the only problem here. when we talk about storm surge
hurricane on record, averaging 20 miles per hour. that brought in a storm surge of about 6 feet along the resort road and that brought in floodwaters suddenly near midnight last night. that s emerged in multiple cars and trucks that were parked at the first level of the parking garage. david made it inside the hard rock which remains inoperable today. last night as the outer bands came through about 9:00 o clock, the golf poured into biloxi and then close to midnight the i wall rain and wind bands punish the coastline, the storm surge splashed all over. that led to this morning people waking up finding plenty of debris to clean up. much of u.s. 60 that spans between black single part closed for stretches of miles as cars had to be detoured due to the
