AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTION...
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
925 AM CDT MON AUG 29 2005
.DISCUSSION...DANGEROUS HURRICANE KATRINA MADE LANDFALL IN SOUTHEAST
LA...EAST OF GRAND ISLE NEAR BURAS. KATRINA IS STILL A CATEGORY 4
HURRICANE WITH SUSTAINED SFC WINDS OF 140MPH AND PRESSURE STILL AT
923MB. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF TORNADOS AND WIND DAMAGE
ALREADY ACROSS SOUTHEAST LA AND COASTAL MS AND NOW APPEARING FURTHER
INLAND IN FORREST COUNTY. THE WORST IS BEGINNING TO HIT THE COAST
AND WILL MAKE ITS WAY TOWARDS MARION...LAMAR...AND FORREST COUNTY IN
THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. YOU CAN EXPECT WINDS CATEGORY 2 WINDS
SUSTAINED 95-111 MPH WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR CAT 3 WINDS (>111MPH)
BUT GUSTS MAY APPROACH 120 MAYBE EVEN AS HIGH AS 130 MPH.
THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION AS THEIR ARE REPORTS OF MAJOR
DAMAGE IN NEW ORLEANS. PEOPLE SHOULD BEGIN TO MAKE THINER WAY INTO
THE INTERIORS OF HOUSES AND BUILDINGS AND BY ALL MEANS DO NOT
VENTURE OUTSIDE TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON AND STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS.
THERE IS ALREADY REPORTS OF NUMEROUS TREES AND OTHER DAMAGE IN
FORREST COUNTY.
IN CENTRAL AND ESPECIALLY EASTERN MS WE CAN EXPECT CONDITIONS TO
BEGIN TO DETERIORATE IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS WITH THE WORST COMING
THIS AFTERNOON. KATRINA HAS SPED UP AND IS MOVING MAINLY NORTH AT
B/T 15 TO 16 MPH. THIS IS ACTUALLY BAD NEWS AS KATRINA WILL NOT BE
ABLE TO WEAKEN MORE BY THE TIME IT REACHES THE I 20 CORRIDOR. WITH
THAT WE STILL EXPECT HURRICANE FORCE WINDS OR ATLEAST GUSTS UP TO
LOWNDES COUNTY. ACROSS THE JACKSON METRO ESPECIALLY RANKIN COUNTY
SUSTAINED WINDS OF 50 TO 65 MPH AND GUSTS HIGHER THAN 80 MPH WILL BE
POSSIBLE BY LATE AFTERNOON. EAST INTO MERIDIAN AND JASPER AND CLARKE
COUNTIES WILL SEE SUSTAINED WINDS OF 55 TO 70 WITH GUSTS POSSIBLY UP
TO 90 MPH.
WINDS ARE ALREADY GUSTING ABOVE 50 MPH IN HATTIESBURG POSSIBLY
HIGHER AS WE CAN NOT GET UPDATED ASOS READINGS. IN JACKSON AND
MERIDIAN WE ARE GUSTING ABV 30 MPH ALREADY. LOOK FOR THESE WIND
SPEEDS TO INCREASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
