* The newest NHC Advisory is out at 4:00 PM CDT. The official intensity is 70 mph with higher gusts. Cindy is located at 28.2 N 90.3W or about 95 miles southwest of the mouth of the Mississippi River. The storm is moving N @ 14 mph and is expected to make its turn to the NE in the next 12 to 24 hours. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect from Morgan City, LA eastward to Destin, FL. A tornado watch is also in effect for the coastal counties of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.

* Heavy rain still looks like the main threat. A few strong wind gusts can't be ruled out along the coast. We will continue to watch Cindy very closely, as well as Dennis, and keep you updated. Be sure to watch Josh Johnson at 6pm and 10pm and Charles Daniel on Good Morning Meridian tomorrow morning for up-to-date information.
