Tropical Update
Hurricane Francine continues moving slowly NE, just off the Texas coast. Francine is anticipated to make landfall in Louisiana this afternoon or evening. After landfall, the center is expected to move north into Mississippi tonight and Thursday.
Data from the Air Force Hurricane Hunters indicate that maximum sustained winds have increased to near 90 mph with higher gusts. Some additional strengthening is expected this morning. Francine is expected to weaken quickly after it moves inland.
Meteorologists are tracking two areas for potential development over the open Atlantic. Both systems could develop into a tropical depression by the middle to latter part of this week as they move generally west to NW.
