πŸŒ€10PM CDT Update on Tropical Storm #Zeta. Starting to see some steady strengthening trend now with max winds at 70mph. Impacts across parts of SE LA and southern MS remain likely on Wednesday.

Lets break down each specific threat one at a time...(1/6)
1. πŸ’¨ Wind: Strong winds will be the primary threat when #Zeta makes landfall. These winds may lead to isolated to scattered power outages, some tree damage and even some damage to some structures - especially near the center of the track. (2/6) #lawx #mswx
2. 🌊 Storm Surge: Moderate/major coastal flooding is possible in the Storm Surge Warning areas. Highest water levels are expected during the high tide cycle Wednesday, lasting into the overnight hours before water levels come back down Thursday. (3/6) #lawx #mswx #Zeta
3. πŸ’§ Heavy Rainfall: Locally heavy rainfall leading to flash flooding will be possible along and to the east of the track of #Zeta. Higher amounts likely along any banding features that set up E of the center across coastal MS. Remember: TURN AROUND DON'T DROWN (4/6) #lawx #mswx
4. πŸŒͺ️ Isolated Tornadoes: A few brief, short-lived tornadoes will be possible generally to the east of the storms center. Make sure you have a reliable way to receive warnings should they become necessary Wednesday and Wednesday night. (5/6) #lawx #mswx #Zeta
All preparations should be done TONIGHT, as conditions are forecast to deteriorate through the day Wednesday. Secure loose objects, charge your phone, have a plan if you live in a flood or surge prone area. We will be going over more info in the FB live shortly. #lawx #mswx #Zeta
