HERE'S IVAN....THERE'S JEANNE...STORMS IN THE UPPER MIDWEST..
As we told you yesterday, the system in the Gulf did indeed become a tropical storm and the question this morning is..will Ivan become a hurricane prior to landfall. The answer is maybe. Ok, it will be close. If the storm continues to move west towards Galveston, then it has the chance to develop. In any case, winds will start to pick along the upper Texas coast and the Louisiana coast with gusts 50-60 mph. The other concern today will be the heavy rain and flooding. Through this afternoon, the band of convection moving up the back side of Ivan will eventually move into New Orleans. I can see several inches of rain, perhaps more, across southeast Louisiana into southern Mississippi. The next area for heavy rain will over Houston tonight. At this time, the convection around the center is sparse, but give it time and we should se thunderstorms developing in and around the center.
This guy will not give up! He is suppose to do a report on Jeanne later. I can only imagine what he'll say about her.
