ida_ir_avn-lIda has been downgraded to a tropical storm, with maximum sustained winds coming it at ~ 70 MPH. At this time it appears that Ida will weaken gradually throughout the day, with landfall occurring tomorrow morning, probably very close to Mobile, AL. The greatest threat from Ida will likely be heavy rainfall, with 5+ inches possible in areas of eastern Alabama, Georgia and the Florida panhandle. A notable surge of 3-5' is also anticipated, which could threaten property along the immediate coastline. As with any landfalling tropical system, tornadoes will also be possible. Dennis Sherrod will be streaming from Alabama, with other TVN live streamers possibly on the scene as well, so be sure to follow along on the Live page. ida_150211w_nl_sm ida_qpf_d12_fill

There is some CAPE in the Florida Panhandle but not all that much about 500 J but the helicity is VERY strong so some thunderstorms could rotate. But remember supercells like you see in the planes are not a big threat infact it is rare to see a big supercell with tropical systems like this.

Hopefully the risk for tornadoes stays low like they said. Tropical storms and tornadoes...that's just a 2 in 1 disaster.
