hurricane ida update

Hurricane Ida continues to churn towards the ditch Coast as a level two. All eyes have been on an approaching trough which will indirectly turn the tropical storm eastward. Timing is everything with this system and the current thinking is that Ida will make a landfall along the ditch Coast. Hurricane calls are now up from Destin, FL eastward to Indian part. Hurricane turn warnings are too in place along the Alabama ditch Coast. warm Storm wind warnings are in place for Choctaw and Wilcox areas southward.

air conditions over West Central Alabama will go downhill quickly above the next 12 hours. Look for winds overnight averaging 15-25 mph. There may be wind gusts in excess of 30 mph as Ida passes to our southeast. weighty rain will also be banded with this system overnight and tomorrow. Be sure to stay with WVUA for continuing coverage and will also continue to post frequent updates on the blog as Ida approaches. Stay tuned!
