at 11:00 PM EST, November
7, 2009 -- The National Hurricane Center is confident that it
is correct about it forecast for Ida for the next 36 to 48 hours, but
after that there is a great deal of uncertainty. In 44 hours
the NHC
puts Ida about a hundred miles southeast of Louisiana or about 125
miles directly south of the Mississippi/Alabama coastal border.
There
after it shows Ida moving east, but it is important to note that change
in movement is uncertain. Some models show Ida continuing to
move
north and then north northeast through the mid-Atlantic states, some
making landfall and then moving east through the southern states.
The
NHC is also not certain about the strength of Ida after 48 hours,
except that it only gives a less than 4% probability that Ida will be a
category 2 or greater hurricane. The
Hydrometeorological
Prediction Center seems to be giving a nod
to a Mississippi/Alabama landfall based on its 5
Day Quantitative
Precipitation Forecast.
The HPC is forecasting about 4 1/2 inches of rainfall at the point of
Ida's landfall through around 5PM on the 11th. The Climate
Prediction Center appears in favor of a Mississippi/Alabama
landfall followed by movement to the east with
rainfall affecting the southeastern states.
For
emergency guidance follow the advice of your local emergency management
agency and your local National Weather Service office. Flooding is taking place in portions of northeast South Dakota, southeast Missouri, central east Iowa, western Illinois, east Texas, western and northern Louisiana, and southern, and northeast Arkansas. Heavy precipitation is forecast for eastern Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, central and northern Florida and central and western North Carolina from the 9th to the 12th. From 4 to 6 inches of precipitation is forecast for western Washington and northwest Oregon the next five days. There is a moderate risk of fire over the southeastern states, and southern Wyoming the 7th to the 8th. There is a moderate risk of fire over the western North Carolina, and eastern Montana and western North Dakota the 8th to the 9th. We have updated our State's Uniform Crime Reports pages to include the recently released 2008 data. We've contacted various agencies and crime research organizations to ask about the drop in "Motor Vehicle Theft" reported in the FBI's Uniform Crime Report. So far no one has suggested an explanation for the 13% drop in reported vehicle thefts nationally. We are not aware of a similar drop in any category of the national crime statistics before this. Most States rate fell by double figures, one State's rate dropped over 32%, and a few States increased slightly. This begs the questions Why?
