Fay Stronger Longer…Tropical Storm Watch for Eastern LA

leave a comment

Breaking news late this evening…Fay now expected to be a tropical storm through Sunday as the system skirts the northern Gulf Coast. Tropical Storm Watches are now posted through the mouth of the Mississippi which does include New Orleans. Based on this latest information I have raised our rain chances Sunday into Monday and would look for increasing N/NW winds Sunday closer to 20-30mph with gusts possible to 40mph in tropical squalls. It’s still going to be a close call on what kind of weather we’ll actually see but based on the forecast track and given errors so far, it’s best to ere on the side of caution. Stay tuned…
