Here in western Mass I think we already are. It's quite warm, and the rain has been pouring down all day. I'm expecting to see the streets awash every time I look out the window.
If this is related to Katrina, then that is one BUGGER of a storm!
the feeder bands are starting to pass over. We're getting pretty breezy and the rain should start soon. This is a really big storm--we're 300 miles from N.O. and under a tropical storm warning.
The latest is that pressure is down to 902mb--lower than Camille.
The storm is tropical. What you are seeing is from a cold front that extends down into Western Tennessee associated with a Low pressure center in southern Canada. You will not see Katrina's reach until it becomes extra tropical in a couple of days.
10. Yes, after I posted I saw another, larger-area weather map
It showed the other cyclone (or anti-cyclone, I can't keep them straight) centered up in Canada with a line of clouds shuttling between it and Katrina, right over the top of Mass.
I'm in Tennessee. Now it's 86º. Last night it was really cool and on the way home from being in Gulf Shores we had the windows down and it was very comfortable.
