NEW: A tornado watch has been issued for everyone in the yellow until 11 PM CT.

The tornado risk is increasing in southeast Louisiana and around the Mississippi Delta.

That's where the right front quadrant of the storm is – where Francine is swirling north both thunderstorm fuel AND shear (changing winds w/height to get thunderstorms rotating).

An oil platform just went through the western eyewall of Hurricane #Francine, reporting sustained winds of 87 mph and gusts up to 105 mph.

Landfall in Louisiana is still several hours away.

NHC Storm Surge
@NHC_Surge

9/11 10am CDT: There is a danger of life-threatening storm surge from #Francine today for the Louisiana and Mississippi coastlines, where a Storm Surge Warning is in effect. Residents in the warning area should continue to follow advice given by local officials.

The eye wall is looking healthier by the minute with #Francine as it nears the coast. Shear should have an impact on this as it nears the coast!

You can find echo tops on our per station radar setting!

But that does require purchasing our Premium Features.

Sorry about the paywall for some features... but your Hamster needs to pay for their food pellets!

WOW! Check this out — those purple overshooting tops (high, cold clouds) on satellite (left) are ALSO visible from the Lake Charles radar (right) as storm tops to 55,000 feet!

The western eyewall will be mean, with microscale winds as dry air enters, and maybe some miniswirls.

Hurricane #Francine makes its final approach toward the Louisiana coast bringing storm surge, tornadoes, and flash flooding. Mandatory curfew's have been put into place in Morgan City starting at 11 am.

New Orleans – it's looking like #Francine's eyewall will remain intact and move near or directly over you this evening.

That could bring 70 to 80 mph wind gusts to the city. The most likely arrival time is around or after 4 PM.

Francine: landfall TODAY

Hurricane Francine is now producing winds nearing Category 2 strength. Landfall is expected in southeast Louisiana during the evening hours. Dangerous surge, strong winds, flooding rains and tornadoes are likely. Matthew Cappucci is in Louisiana with an update.

Hamster Note: GOES West Satellite(s) continue to have "issues"

GOES (US/western hemisphere) satellite data is significantly delayed on our primary satellite imagery rendering server. Performing some troubleshooting. No interruptions expected.

A PDS Red Flag Warning is in effect Wednesday from 11 AM to 8 PM for the Sierra Front including the #DavisFire. This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. Gusty winds & dry conditions will lead to very rapid fire growth.

As a newly formed Tropical Storm #Francine bears down on the Gulf Coast, the GOES-15 satellite watching it, chose last night to say "I don't want to work" and its backup is not yet ready.
