Hurricane Ida weakens !

The latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center indicates that Ida continues to weaken. Sustained winds are now 80 mph. Futher weakening of the storm is forecast and Ida could very well be below hurricane strength when landfall occurs sometime around midnight in the Florida Panhandle. The further east the storm goes the less impact it will have on our weather. At this time it appears light rain will occur and winds will be rather breezy in the afternoon. Rain is possible tonight and breezy conditions will remain with us. By Tuesday the storm will be far to our east allowing much drier and nicer weather to move in and that weather will stay with us for the rest of the week. Rex
