On the forecast track, the center of Ida will move farther inland over
southeastern Louisiana early this morning and move into southwestern
Mississippi later this morning. Ida is then forecast to move over
central and northeastern Mississippi this afternoon and tonight, and
move across the Tennessee Valley on Tuesday.
Maximum sustained winds have decreased near 60 mph (95 km/h) with
higher gusts. Additional rapid weakening is forecast during the next
day or so, and Ida is expected to become a tropical depression by
this evening.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles (240 km),
mainly southeast of the center. A sustained wind of 32 mph (51 km/h)
and a gust to 52 mph (84 km/h) were recently observed at the airport
in McComb, Mississippi. Along the Gulf coast, a Weatherflow station
in Gulfport, Mississippi, recently measured a sustained wind of 46
mph (74 km/h) and a gust to 66 mph (106 km/h).
The estimated minimum central pressure is 990 mb (29.24 inches).
