Hurricane Isaac #14, 29 AUG 12, 10:00AM

Hurricane Isaac continues to deluge southern Mississippi and southeast Louisiana with torrential rainfall as it slows down to a 6 mile-per-hour crawl in forward speed.  The forecast track for Isaac has shifted westward again, which hopefully improves the situation for Mississippi.

Forecast conditions for the Mississippi Delta have improved with this new forecast track.  Wind and rainfall estimates have continued to be revised downward.  Wind conditions across the Mississippi Delta through Thursday will consist of sustained 15-25mph winds with gusts of 35-45mph possible in some areas of the Detla.  Rainfall estimates now range from 1 to 4 inches, with the highest amounts expected in Washington and Humphreys counties and areas to the south.  A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for a large portion of central and south Mississippi, generally along the Highway 16 corridor counties from the Alabama line to Yazoo County, then northwestward to include Washington and Humphreys counties.

The risk for severe weather, including tornadoes, increases through Thursday as Isaac passes to our west.
