THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR THE COUNTIES SERVED BY THE

APPROACH 70 MPH.  ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE LIKELY THROUGH THE EVENING
HOURS...AND THESE TYPES OF TROPICAL INDUCED TORNADOES DEVELOP FAST

KATRINA IS MOVING FASTER THAN EXPECTED...AND THE THREAT OF WIDESPREAD
FLOODING HAS DIMINISHED.   THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A THREAT OF
LOCALIZED FLOODING IN THE HEAVY RAIN BANDS.
