...Ida Eyes Gulf Coast...

HURRICANE WATCH ON THE GULF COAST: Hurricane Ida is moving through
the Yucatan Channel this morning, moving a little further westward and
faster than earlier. There is a chance that is could bring hurricane
force winds to the Gulf Coast Monday night an Tuesday, so the NHC has
issued a Hurricane Watch from Grand Isle LA to Mexico Beach, FL.

TRACK/INTENSITY OF IDA: Ida will gradually turn north and north
northeast through Monday. By Monday morning, it will be 350 miles
south of Mobile, moving northward at 18 mph. It will likely still be
a hurricane then with top winds of 100 mph. Tropical storm force
winds will reach SE Louisiana by noon with the storm 250 miles south
of Mobile. At 6 p.m., tropical storm force winds will be felt on the
Alabama coast with the storm 175 miles south of Mobile, starting to
turn to the northeast. It could still be a hurricane. Hurricane
force winds could reach the Alabama coast before sunrise Tuesday as
the center comes within 50 miles of southern Baldwin County. Ida
should turn eastward as it loses tropical characteristics during the
day Tuesday, but not before potentially bringing hurricane force winds
to the Northwest Florida Coast as far east as Seaside.

INLAND WIND: Tropical storm force winds may extend as far north as
Selma and Montgomery Tuesday morning,
spreading eastward to as far north as Lafayette Tuesday afternoon.
There could be quite a few power outages over South Central Alabama.
North of this and south of I-59, winds will be on the increase Monday
and Monday night, peaking at 20-35 mph. Scattered power outages are
possible in this area.

INLAND RAIN: Ida will spread heavy rain over Alabama from the
Southwest beginning during the day Monday. Heavy rain will be likely
over Central Alabama Monday night into early Tuesday. 3-4 inches of
rain is expected south of I-20 and north of I-65/85, with amounts
tapering off to the north and south.

OUR FORECAST CONDENSED: In a nutshell, Central Alabama will see
increasing clouds tonight; breezy and mostly cloudy conditions on
Monday with highs in the lower 70s; increasing gusty winds (15-25 mph)
and rain Monday night. Tuesday will be windy and wet, with winds
25-35 mph and gusty. Rain will end from the west starting by
afternoon and winds will diminish Tuesday evening. High pressure will
build in setting the stage for a beautiful Veterans Day and parade.
Nice weather Thursday and Friday. Rain chances return Saturday.

WEATHERBRAINS: Great show last week with Dr. Chuck Doswell, famed
severe weather researcher. This week, it's Tim Marshall, another top
severe weather and wind engineering expert. Listen to the show at www.WeatherBrains.com

ON THIS DATE IN 2006: All time state 24 hour rainfall records were
set in Oregon, Washington and Idaho as a huge Pacific storm system
sent rivers raging out of their banks. The 15.20 inches at June Lake,
Washington easily surpassed the old record of 14.26 inches set at
Mount Mitchell in November 1986. The 14.30 at Lee Camp, Oregon
smashed the old state record of 11.65 inches set in 1996. 9.40 inches
fell at Bear Mountain in Idaho to establish a new all time state 24
hour rainfall record.
