Didn't get much from Fred here but still the ol' hot and humid for August. Dew point was 80F yesterday! Wanted to go to the range area and cut grass today but don't have it in me to do it today. Rain tomorrow.

Hurricane Ida, after making landfall in western Cuba on Friday afternoon, was barreling into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. AccuWeather forecasters warned that Ida, headed over exceptionally warm waters, was likely to rapidly intensify and could even approach the U.S. coast as Category 4 hurricane. Meteorologists warned residents along the central Gulf Coast that time is running out to prepare for the storm or evacuate the storm's projected path.

Ida is forecast to hit around New Orleans about on the anniversary of Katrina.

This could get interesting.

Hopefully it stays east of Jake!

I hope everyone in Ida’s path stays safe. Cat4 is not a casual event for sure.

it certainly could .... 16 years ago Katrina hit New Orleans .... sure hope Ida doesn't come close to the records set by Katrina

I'm about 250 miles N.E. of NOLA, so not expecting much here except rain. That said, these things usually spawn a number of short lived tornadoes that are basically unpredictable, so we'll be watching out for that.

Ida has developed an eye and increasing in strength. Look out NOLA.
JR have you looked at that one on the west coat of Mexico. That also looks bad.
Kind of unusual for a Pacific hurricane.

Here's the weather bureau's forecast for Ida.

Ida's projected path has it covering NC and TN from the Atlantic to the Mississippi on Thursday morning .... that's really a stretch
