3:20pm Progress Report
* Katrina is continuing to barrel towards the Louisiana coastline. The storm has already become historic, and will only become more historic as it crashes into the northern Gulf Coast. This will likely be a devastating and catastrophic hurricane for the LA, MS, and AL coastline.* Finishing up coordination conferences with various weather entities. The 4pm advisory from the NHC will shift the track ever so slightly to the west. This will have very little impact on our forecast - we still expect widespread wind damage, power outages and flooding rains. Hurricane force winds will be experienced by most, if not all, of our area.
* Please finish up your preparations today. This hurricane will likely begin affecting us tomorrow morning, and our weather will rapidly go downhill by tomorrow afternoon.
* TV PLANS: We will begin wall-to-wall coverage of Hurricane Katrina tomorrow morning at 6:00 AM. You can watch this on television and the web - we will be streaming our coverage live at www.wtok.com!
* Renny Vandewege will be in before too long to help Jason Kelley and I anchor the weather coverage. Renny will handle the hourly cut-ins for a while tonight, before I join him and Jason for our long-form coverage tomorrow morning.
* We are posting fast and furious, but remember to scroll down to find still pertinent information!
