Subtropical Depression 10 Forms in The Gulf
Subtropical Depression 10 formed in the Gulf as of the 11/10 Central Advisory. The winds are low, but it could become Jerry late tonight or early tomorrow. Tropical Storm Warnings have been posted for the Mouth of the Mississippi over to Apalachicola, Florida, including the following Parishes (LA) and Counties (MS, AL & FL):
LOUISIANA: Plaquemines, St. Bernard, and for areas around Lake Ponchartrain including Orleans, Jefferson, St. Charles, St. John the Baptist, Tangipahoa & St. Tammany.
MISSISSIPPI: Hancock, Harrison & Jackson
ALABAMA: Mobile & Baldwin
FLORIDA: Escambia, Okaloosa, Walton, Bay, Gulf & far western Franklin
Here is a map of the approximate area.
The Louisiana governor is already ordering evacuations for those in FEMA trailers and for those in areas prone to flooding. No other evacuations at this time but everyone is on alert. The most likely scenario is that the storm makes landfall tomorrow early afternoon around Biloxi, Misssissippi.
More updates as they occur.
On a drought note, Cobb & Paulding Counties, and the city of Mountain Park in extreme north Fulton Counties, has now banned all outdoor watering. Before those places were on a 3 mornings/week ban. Douglas, Carroll, Oconee, Clarke, Barrow and Jackson in the metro area have already banned outdoor watering. I hope that Fulton/City of Atlanta sticks to the 1 morning a week. I kind of expected them to loosen the ban with fall coming, but with the drought still in the worst category, not much rain, and a possibly rain free winter due to La Nina, I'm not that surprised.
