ANYWHERE BETWEEN 20 TO 30 MILE PER HOUR OR ACTUALLY, EXCUSE ME, 30 TO 40 MILE PER HOUR WIND GUSTS UP UP HERE TOWARDS THE NORTH SHORE WHERE YOU SEE THESE YELLOWS AND REDS INDICATING WHERE WE'RE SEEING THE HEAVY RAIN.

BIGGER PICTURE THOUGH, ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH. THAT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO MOVE TOWARDS THE NORTH AS FAR AS FRANCINE IS CONCERNED. AND IN FACT, YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI LOOKING PRETTY WET RIGHT NOW AS THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO BROADEN AS IT INTERACTS WITH LAND. AND REALLY, THIS IS JUST GOING TO BE A RAINMAKER HERE FROM HERE ON OUT. NOW FOR THE FOR THE REST OF THE STORM'S LIFE CYCLE. LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME OF THOSE HIGHEST WIND GUSTS THAT WERE RECORDED HERE TODAY WITH FRANCINE ARMSTRONG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, 78 MILE PER HOUR WINDS. LAKEFRONT RECORDED 70. SO DID HOUMA AS WELL.

HERE'S A LOOK AT THE CURRENT WINDS. 35 MILE PER HOUR WINDS BEING REPORTED AT LAKEFRONT. 28 MILE PER HOUR WINDS IN SLIDELL KENNER JUST SHY OF AROUND 20 MILE PER HOUR WINDS HERE AT THE MOMENT. THE WIND GUSTS STILL A LITTLE BIT BREEZY, ARE ACTUALLY VERY GUSTY IN SOME SPOTS. LAKEFRONT LAST REPORT HERE FOR YOU. 55 MILE PER HOUR WIND GUSTS JUST SHY OF 50 MILE PER HOUR. WIND GUSTS UP ON THE NORTH SHORE AND SLIDELL CURRENTLY, THE RAINFALL AMOUNTS ANYWHERE BETWEEN AROUND 6 TO 8IN HERE. FOR SOME OF THOSE HIGHER TOTALS THAT WE'VE SEEN HERE. SO FAR TODAY, ESPECIALLY IN THE METROS WHERE WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF IT, AND WE ALSO SET A NEW DAILY RECORD RAINFALL FOR TODAY BECAUSE OF FRANCINE, 7.32IN AT THE ARMSTRONG AIRPORT.
