Good news for Florida is looking to spell far worse news for Louisiana. While the models have shifted West with every run from last week – I never like to see any part of “the cone of uncertainty” heading towards Nawlins. The silver lining if there can be one is the fact that the storm has not strengthened considerably but in the next 24 hours still has a chance. The official forecast still calls for Isaac to become a hurricane before landfall. The thing with this storm is though that it is MASSIVE so as we’ve already seen effects will be felt far and wide as we are seeing right now in Central Florida.
Expect heavy rain to continue today (i.e. – not the best day to be strolling through the parks unless you are emotionally prepared to get SOAKED). Conditions improve tomorrow but I’d still expect some moisture to make it a less than ideal day. By Wednesday we are back to “normal” with highs right around 90 which will continue into the weekend. Thunderstorm chances will diminish down to about 30 percent by Saturday (according to models as they stand now) – so Labor Day weekend is promising to be a good one.
