Hurricane Isaac #13 28 AUG 12, 6:00pm

Isaac attained hurricane status this afternoon, and now holds 80 mile per hour sustained wind speeds near the center.  With Advisory #31 issued this afternoon, the projected tropical storm wind fields have contracted somewhat, excluding most of the Mississippi Delta.  While we will likely see sustained winds and occasionally higher gusts, the Delta shouldn't see sustained winds over 39mph.

As Isaac has changed, our expected rainfall totals have also gone down somewhat.  Please see the graphic below for expected rainfall totals between now and Saturday.  Please note, this graphic represents widespread rainfall totals...locally higher amounts could be seen.

Finally, the risk for severe weather, including tornadoes, increases as Isaac approaches through Thursday.  We will post Hazardous Weather Outlooks as they develop.
