Louisiana is starting off this hurricane season right where it left off last year: In the sights of another tropical system.
Tropical storm warnings are in effect from Intracoastal City, Louisiana, to the Alabama/Florida border, as Potential Tropical Cyclone Three drifts toward the US. New Orleans is in the warning zone.While landfall is expected on the Gulf Coast on Saturday, the storm's effects will come well before then."A tropical storm warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area within 36 hours," according to the National Hurricane Center.
— NWS Weather Prediction Center June 17, 2021 Rain totals will be dependent on how quickly the system moves out of the region. The bulk of the rain from PTC Three is forecast to push through Alabama and into northern Georgia this weekend before weakening significantly at the border of the Carolinas. High wind threats are still uncertain, but guidance is showing winds strengthening to near 50 mph before making landfall on the US. The criteria for a Category 1 hurricane is 74-95 mph winds.
— NWS Storm Prediction Center June 17, 2021 Waterspouts and a few spin up tornadoes pose the biggest threat.Current forecasts show the system weakening upon landfall to a tropical depression once again as it moves northeastward.
