π5pm Tropical Update [10/04] - Potential Tropical Cyclone (PTC) #26 will move thru the Caribbean early this week & will approach the northern Gulf Coast late in the week as a hurricane. NOTE: There's a LARGE amount of uncertainty in track & intensity as it moves into the Gulf.
π5pm Tropical Update [10/04] - While it is too early to discuss specific impacts from PTC #26, an increased risk for rip currents is expected all week (coastal flooding & heavy rain are possible late in the week). Again, impacts are heavily dependent on the track/intensity.
π5pm Tropical Update [10/04] - Parts of the area are already in the forecast cone for PTC #26 (next name on the list is #Delta), so now is the time to check on your preparedness kit, especially if you tapped into it during #Sally, & run through your plans...just in case.
πREMINDER - Potential Tropical Cyclone "PTC" Advisories are issued BEFORE a tropical depression or storm actually forms. This gives us the ability to give more lead time prior to possible tropical storm, hurricane, or storm surge conditions on land. #HurricanePrep

π12pm [10/06] Update - Major Hurricane #Delta rapidly strengthened this morning in the Caribbean & is forecast to enter the Gulf on Wednesday. Storm timing has slowed down a little, so the greatest impacts are expected Friday night into Saturday. (1/4)
π¬οΈ12pm [10/06] Update - The earliest time of arrival of tropical storm force winds from #Delta is Friday along the coast & Friday night further inland. That said, the area will more than likely see the TS winds start Friday night at the coast & Saturday morning inland. (2/4)
π12pm [10/06] Update - *Even if #Delta weakens before landfall*, its intensity over the southern Gulf of Mexico will play a huge role in the potential storm surge along our coastline. Greatest concern for surge is late Friday into Saturday morning during high tide. (3/4)
π5pm [10/05] Update - Tropical Storm #Delta is rapidly strengthening & is forecast to strengthen to a MAJOR Hurricane before entering the Gulf. It is forecast to turn north & northeast before landfall, but WHEN the turn occurs determines the extent of our impacts. (1/4)
π5pm [10/05] Update - The earliest reasonable time of arrival of tropical storm force winds from #Delta is pre-dawn on Friday along the coast & later that morning/afternoon further inland. More than likely, the area will see the TS winds starting Friday afternoon/evening. (2/4)
π5pm [10/05] Update - It is worth noting that *even if #Delta weakens before landfall**, its intensity over the southern & central Gulf of Mexico will play a huge role in the potential storm surge along our coastline. (3/4)
π 10/25 7am Update - An area of low pressure in the western Gulf of Mexico could become a short-lived tropical depression later today before merging with a front & becoming post-tropical over the NW Gulf by tonight. Expected local impacts follow. (1/4)
Deep moisture will be drawn into SE MS & parts of SW AL, bringing multiple rounds of heavy rain & an elevated risk of flooding in these areas. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH is in effect for all of southeast MS & now includes Choctaw, Washington, Mobile counties in SW AL thru Sat. (2/4)
There is a Marginal severe weather risk generally southwest of a New Augusta, MS to Dauphin Island, AL line through tonight. Damaging gusts & a brief tornado cannot be ruled out. We will be monitoring to see if this risk will move a little farther east with later updates. (3/4)
