Hurricane Francine Update/ Baton Rouge/Jackson Ms In the Path

September the 10th 2024 guys you're looking at the latest images from the satellite over the Gul of Mexico this update that we're doing came out most of the information 38 minutes ago at 1: p.m. central Time this is a center of circulation here we are getting we've had overcast Skies all day but we're getting light sprinkles that's what you're seeing here the big puffier areas Louisiana you are um getting starting to get heavier rains and moving over towards Florida as well in this image here's a center circulation it hasn't moved much all day it's been sitting almost in the same place I think it has now in the update sped up from 5 to 8 milph forward speed now it's still a 65 M hour tropical storm they're expecting it to become a cat one and they downgraded the speed by five knots as it's coming ashore infrared a moment you can see where the tallest storms are right now they're in the North Northeast quadrant the most dangerous area but it looks like they're going to uh try to wrap up it's only 1:40 p.m. even though it's overcast along the gulf Above This is a hot burning Sun you got a lot of moisture coming through here over the Bahamas you're starting to pick up some rain you're getting some done in South Florida but I got a feeling a lot of this you're going to get before it's said and done again Mississippi we in central we're getting overcast showers look like about the same weather in Alabama and second SE of Louisiana now the tracking has changed it was going to come in very close to Morgan City but right now the I did my map from the computer uh generated longitude and latitude and it looks like it's going to come right over Baton Rouge guys then it's going to come up and through the mome area we're going to take a look at that and then uh be between Jackson and Vicksburg about midnight very close to Jackson Mississippi with the North East quadrant by that time guys at midnight tomorrow night it will be back down to a tropical storm but there we're we are under tropical storm warnings is 120 Mi Inland now we're getting messages from Southern Pine our Electrical Co-Op here and they're talking about the crews are ready more than likely we're going to have some uh outages and they cover a wide section of Mississippi but uh so and to be patient and avoid things like that what I'm telling you to do the same thing except make sure you all your batteries are charged water food anything you're going to need gasoline maybe some candles whatever right now in the video this morning let's go back to that for a second in the comments someone said I think I pinned it that there are stations in Louisiana that are already running out of gasoline so that's going to spread everywhere we're going to look at some webcams from Corpus Christie all the way to Pensacola in just a moment but let's zoom in just a little on this system and you can see how tight this thing is small and well organized it's preining on all the places that's going to flood with the moisture that comes in with a storm the uh reports as far as storm surge are still up from 10 to 5 through the section of Louisiana then fading out to 1 to three on both edges over in Mobile Bay and down along the real grand but very tight and these things cycle overnight they sometimes will die down some whatat sun gets back on them and you'll start to see them do this now while we're zoomed in let's go to the day Cloud phase on this camera the bright yellows are the tall clouds and then as you get down through the oranges it's kind of the edge of the cloud tops and then into the light green and blue you're more of the surface clouds and that's what's good about this filter it can give you that information but again it's tightly wrapping up right here and starting to make that jog if you look at it in the last few frames more to the Northeast instead of uh skating up the Texas coast just moving a little bit out that way let's take a look at the wide Atlantic now here is the Gul of Mexico storm there you looks like you got it some disorganized activity off the coast of Mexico that could organize but back here they're watching this system and this system but I want you to notice where the storms are coming off it's getting dark over Africa already usually we're about 150 Mi or so south of the cable over ver Islands I went back and looked at even the beginning of this season 3 months ago when we started having some of the first depressions that came in flooded Texas and all we were watching those these the storms were still coming off there that's how uh fast things are changing we talked about wasn't sure but now that you know if it took a year to get to that 152 miles movement north of the intertropical Convergence Zone I don't know because just at the beginning of this year these storms were not coming off the cover islands and I mentioned for the last couple of years usually if they even get close to it just south of there they will turn into the Atlantic right now this last system is coming out over the cap over the islands things are changing but look at the amount of moisture now this started a couple weeks ago with the system right here that gave us all that rain and cool weather but look how it's all of that's pulled up into the Atlantic tied into this low pressure here check that out that's a lot of moisture guys and that's what's been coming over us for two weeks check that out now let's look down in galliston Texas just a moment guys this is that seaw wall cam or the beach cam right there you know one I'm talking about we watch it every year and this I recorded it not quite an hour ago but you can see the Surfs Up galon Bay is not like the being along the Florida coast it's a you've got it's a shallower bay and you don't have the height in the waves now this is Grand a Louisiana and again about an hour ago you can see some of the rigs offshore there it looks like it's low tide again live from Grand ale Beach a reality uh camera there we again there's the oil rigs and we're going to look over into uh Mississippi we'll go to the Silver Slipper that's in uh over in Bay St Louis right here you see the logo at the top we watch this one every year when we get a storm now the difference in these waves uh from this morning is that they were coming straight to end instead of that angle and they were white capping slightly now this is uh down in Alabama and GFF Shores from the sea and suds always beautiful down there but you can see the storm off in the Horizon it's probably got the temperatures where you can actually Bear to be out there and uh it's part of my favorite places in the world is from G Shores all the way down through Pensacola dtin through there Pito Bay Orange Beach just old stoping grounds but you guys in Florida you can see your the surf is slightly picking up now this is what they're talking about hurricane here hurricane here and and then right before it came ashore in last night's video they had it at 85 knots now it's down to 80 knots which puts it from a 96 to or 98 to a 92 I think hurricane watches up here but now it's tracking further to the right it was going to go up to Mississippi River remember now I put the coordinates from the print out right here and this was early this morning the ones to the left but the one with the lines are the new ones and all the way into here we're going to be at cat one unless it increases with cat 3 gust but again here's Jackson Mississippi let me pull it up and the lines will try to fade on us but it give you an idea here's Baton Rouge here's Lake pure train here's New Orleans now the storm tropical storm winds go out quite a ways from this but you notice again Baton Rouge it's that this supposedly will be the center of a storm that will cover this entire map right through this area you can see it on the forecast then it's going to come up basically not parallel to I-55 here's bachetta Wesson right there Hazelhurst Crystal Springs Terry Mississippi and they haven't changed the tracking much if you go north of this but it goes right up through Memphis Tennessee from here look at it now it's going to start again following 55 but more of a a straight line you can see some of these towns um yazu city right there it's coming right over you guys come up through here again 55 is right there there's Grenada and it kind of bends over and it if you put a straight line from there there's Memphis Tennessee right there we got a lot of friends in this area in North Mississippi and one of our friends there has two of our husky pups and they are in this area and you're going to be in the Northeast quadrant not the good side of the storm but it's going to be slowing down but you still could see tropical force uh tropical storm force or tropical depression winds and rain tornadoes lightning damaging winds limbs things like that that's what we're getting on our uh information from our power companies now you're a little further north and that's going to die down but that's where the track is going so guys just keep that in mind when we get an update later this evening we're going to see if it continues that slight movement to the west but right now it's a heads up be safe by the way check your tide charts Louisiana check them now just go and put Louisiana tide charts and you'll see where you you've got your low tide and your high tide that's going to be important it's a heads up be safe
