You'll see sustained tropical force winds and possibly gusts to hurricane strength. Isolated tornadoes also possible.

The Gulf is currently a sauna with temps 85-90 degrees. We are now approaching the peak of the tropical Atlantic season so things getting active is to be expected.

Damn Vegas. Well done sir. Much better read than other stuff from those who get paid to write. Condensed perfectly for those who don't want 10 other paragraphs to siphon thru.

I get most of my weather info here. When I'm offshore, I have a StormGeo subscription that I look at daily.

You'll see a slightly scaled down version of Hattiesburg. Winds will still be tropical storm force sustained but you may struggle to get a gust to hurricane force.

We definitely have water coming up from the bayou but not too bad yet, I?m sure it?s going to get a good bit higher over the next several hours.

Tropical storm warnings have now been extended north to the 82 corridor. I had a feeling that was coming. Also hearing reports of gas stations as far north as new Albany running out of gas. Guess I need to go top off the old Ram with diesel. Going to be hard to chase the storm bands up here with no dead dinosaurs in the tank.
