Three. We're issuing a weather impact alert for our area for Thursday and Friday. I know today's Monday we're issuing this far in advance because we are watching the strengthening tropical system in the Gulf of Mexico and it is going to spread some impacts into our area for the end of the week. We are watching Francine, which is now a tropical storm that will make landfall in Louisiana on Wednesday as a hurricane. And the latest data we just got in is showing it potentially being a category two hurricane at landfall for us. We're gonna watch the rain moving into our area from that system on Thursday and on Friday, not only are we gonna be watching rain, the potential for some wind, we're talking wind gusts maybe 20 to 30 miles an hour again, depending on the eventual track of the system. And since we're on the right hand side of that landfall and the track of remnants, we also have to watch for the storm risk that will be moving our way here is the system right now. It is getting better organized right now in the Gulf of Mexico, still just off the coast. Of Mexico, but nearing really kind of paralleling the Texas coastline. And you can see we have increased some of the advisories here along the Louisiana coastline with hurricane watches and warnings in effect. With this system, it does become a hurry hurricane most likely late tonight or tomorrow. And then it goes up to a category two hurricane overnight, uh Tuesday and early Wednesday and then that landfall most likely on Wednesday afternoon, then the remnants move up along the Mississippi River here. And if this track goes more over to the east, we will have more impacts. If it goes more to the west, we would have fewer impacts. But based on this current track, since we on the right hand side, we have to watch for at least the rain moving in the potential for wind and also maybe the storm. So here's the progression during the day on Tuesday, still the center of the storm moving up closer by Wednesday here that landfall in Louisiana on Wednesday, we'll just start noticing the clouds increasing here, but then watch this rain shield as those remnants move northward, we have the rain moving into our area on Thursday, into Friday and then some of these showers lingering into Saturday and Sunday as well. The models are not in agreement on how much rain we're gonna have. We're saying it's a wide range here from 1 to 4 plus inches of rain possible here through the period as that rain, uh, sticks around in our area. In fact, here is a look at that, uh, the American model showing around two inches of rain. However, the European model shows four plus inches of rain, depending on where that track is going to be. We'll be fine tuning that through the week. But what we want you to know, we want you to be weather aware, Thursday and Friday weather impact alert in effect for that rain moving in. Temperatures will be cooler, Thursday and Friday and then showers potential for storms lingering into Saturday, Sunday and Monday with highs in the lower eighties.
