Tropical head's up - Hurricane IDA

[starkvegasdawg]

Gotta work tonight in Hattiesburg, best guess on what we're going to see?

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

Forecast for the Jackson metro area. Specifically Brandon area

Latest recon data suggesting Ida is now a 5 with winds to 160. Have to see if they make that call officially.

Wow!!

Looks like the Gulf may come alive early next week. There's currently a disturbance in the Caribbean that is forecast to become a closed low and gain tropical characteristics as it moves into the Gulf. Current forecast track and strengths are all over the place this far out but anywhere from New Orleans to Brownsville need to be keeping tabs on this as the potential...key word potential...is there for this to become a hurricane and possibly a major hurricane. 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.

Storming good here in Biloxi Winds around 30 gusting to 50.

[starkvegasdawg]

Utility trucks staging in Starkville. They got some long hard hours ahead of them.
