🌀 As we gear up for the potential impacts from TD9 which could be #Ida later today or tonight there are a few thing we would like everyone to understand and be prepared for. #LAwx #MSwx Image
💆 DO NOT PANIC! Be prepared, stay up to date, and try to remain calm. You have time IF you begin today. If the track continues as forecast, conditions will likely begin to go downhill late Saturday. This gives you today, Friday, & even early Saturday. #LAwx #MSwx Image
Make sure you get your information from reliable sources. Federal sources are @NWS @NWSLakeCharles @NWSJacksonMS @NWSShreveport @NWSMobile @NWSHouston @NHC_Atlantic @NWSWPC @NWSSPC @fema @femaregion4 @FEMARegion6 #LAwx #MSwx ImageImage
📺 📻 Other reliable resources is any of the local and national media meteorologist. We have 3 media markets in our area Baton Rouge, Coastal MS, & New Orleans. We also have 4 others that cover the outskirts of our area. Alexandria, Jackson MS, Lafayette, and Mobile AL. Image
🌀 Even if you were here for Hurricane Zeta, you have NOT gone through a Category 3 hurricane. Yes Zeta was upgraded to a Cat 3 at landfall but those winds were confined to a very small section of the immediate coast. Most only experienced strong Tropical Storm to high end Cat 1. ImageImage
🌀 Understand every storm is different. You may have gone through numerous but each storm has different impacts. Isaac may have "only" been a Cat 1 but surge was historic in some areas. Rita brought us tornadoes and surge, Gustav brought wind. Don't rely on previous experiences Image

The numbers are in & this summer was H-O-T.

ALL our automated sites tied/broke their warmest summer records (Jun-Aug), some by astounding margins.

We don't have enough space to go over every record that was set, but this thread will break down the more impressive ones.

Every one of our automated stations broke or tied their records for warmest summer (June-August)! This includes climate sites at Baton Rouge and Gulfport, with records back to the 1890s! New Orleans (MSY), Gulfport, Slidell and Pascagoula all broke their all-time highest temperatures, and New Orleans Lakefront tied its all-time highest temperature! Numerous monthly and daily records were also broken!
Baton Rouge broke its warmest summer on record by an almost unfathomable 2.8 degrees! Records go back to 1892.

An astounding 27 days with a low temperature of 80° or warmer! The previous record was only 4, set in 2019. 21 of the warmest 25 days on record occurred this summer!
New Orleans (MSY) beat the record for warmest summer by an impressive 1.2 degrees with records back to 1946.

On August 27th, a new all-time warmest temperature was also set at the site when it reached 105 degrees compared to a previous all-time high of 102.

We continue to monitor Ida as it approaches, expected to make landfall Sunday afternoon/evening. A hurricane Warning is in effect for areas of southern/central LA. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for parts of coastal/southern MS and western LA. #LAwx #MSwx
We want to continue to stress that this WILL be a DANGEROUS and LIFE-THREATENING storm. There WILL be significant wind damage. Prepare for widespread power outages and tree/structural damage in these purple/red areas on the graphic below.
Hurricane Ida is expected to deliver LIFE-THREATENING Flash Flooding for portions of Louisiana and coastal MS. 8-16 inches of rainfall is possible and a Flash Flood Watch is in effect due to this.

🌀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. 💨 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
