3:31 am
hurricane. but it's going to be a big water maker there is a lot of rain associated with this. here is the latest information from the national hurricane center. you've got a storm that has 40-mile-per-hour winds. so just barely a tropical storm for that matter. about 90 miles from the south of the mississippi river. but as it pushes west and eventually goes up to the north, we think landfall is late friday, maybe saturday. is it a hurricane? is it a tropical storm? we shouldn't be tied up into that entirely because it's more the water. look at the amount of rain. watch for the white to pop up on the screen. here we go. the white is showing you anywhere from hattiesburg to new orleans, that's a foot of rain. now if you look at this area shaded in black, that's 1 to 2 feet of rain. this only has to make a shift of about 50 miles for that to be right on top of new orleans. big problems there right now with the track of the storm. as it pushes off to the west, whether it makes a landfall, whether it doesn't, it's going to be churning and pushing water on shore.i howed you, again, that's fresh water rain. this now storm surge. the combination could be a real proboblem for the new orleans e
