The latest from the NHC shows that Tropical Storm Francine is still floating around the southwestern Gulf and has not started to move northeast quite yet. The forecast from the NHC shows the Tropical Storm strengthening into a Hurricane – a Category 2 Hurricane – before landfall.
Landfall is expect to happen on Wednesday.
The timeline on the arrival of Tropical Storm-force wind is shown in the graphic below.
Looking at local impacts. I have it broken down into three Zones.
Zone 1: Highest sustained wind speeds and highest wind gusts, highest tornado threat, and some of the heaviest rain with highest totals — up to 9″ of rain.
Zone 2: Still strong wind with sustained wind speeds Tropical Storm strength, Wind gusts up to 70mph, tornado threat with Tornado Watch likely, rainfall totals between 4-7 inches.
Zone 3: Sustained wind speeds not damaging, but wind gusts strong enough to cause damage under strongest rainbands and storms, tornado threat with Tornado Watch Possible, rainfall totals between 2-5 inches.
Below is the county-by-county breakdown. This is the first one. So there will likely be changes tomorrow night. So please take this for now, but check back for an update.
