Category 4
Dry air is trying to get into the west side of Katrina and that side is looking more ragged as the night wears on. Katrina is still a VERY strong Category 4 storm with winds of 155 mph sustained. Waves have been reported over 40 feet near Dauphin Island.It will be interesting to see how much the dry air can try to weaken Katrina. Regardless, it will remain a very strong hurricane at landfall and wind gusts of 80 to 100 mph as far north as Meridian is certainly possible. I will be continuing the hourly cut ins for a few more hours. We will begin our wall to wall coverage of Katrina at 6am and will last throughout the day on Monday and as far into Tuesday as we must go.
Again, tornadoes may be a threat along and east of the track of Katrina. Certainly something we will watch.
A special thanks sto Red Bull for helping me stay awake! Keep checking the blog and television for more updates!
