Francine tracker: Latest storm update as it moves through the Gulf of Mexico

e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e I'm K2 meteorologist Kim Castro brand new update 1:00 advisory from the National Hurricane Center and here's the latest on Francine still a tropical storm with winds at 65 M an hour it's gained a little bit of speed moving to the Northeast at 9 miles an hour still maintaining its pressure it's expected to become a hurricane a little later on today and maintain that strength as it tracks towards the Louisiana Coastline as of this morning the track has slowed down just a little bit and that has held steady through the 1:00 advisory so now expected to make a landfall a little later on on Wednesday sometime around 7:00 in the evening notice that is where we are going to see the majority of the impacts Louisiana that's the dirty side of this hurricane on the left side the clean side it's exactly as it looks much less disruptive the convective field is really taking aim towards Lafayette and New Orleans so let's describe the difference between the right side the dirty side side and the left side the clean side of a hurricane because when it comes to forecasting it's all about the positioning and which side of the storm you're in so with frine the forecast calls for this to strengthen to an 85 mph hurricane strong category 1 hurricane notice the forward motion right now is at 9 miles an hour let's say at its peak it gets up to 15 miles an hour with the right side of a hurricane because it turns counterclockwise and it gains moment momentum on the right side try to think of this like a baseball player when it starts to wind to hit the ball there's a lot of momentum a lot of force going in to hitting the ball that's the right side of a hurricane the left side is after the player has hit the ball and it starts to uh Ricochet that bat backwards it's a lot less forceful so the right side the left side with Francine 85 mph winds moving towards the north it's not a direct math equation where you could just add both those numbers but it's really close to that so for this example let's do that 855 + 15 that would put the right side at 100 miles an hour so the dirty side even though it's a category 1 hurricane could feel the force and the impact of a category 2 hurricane which starts at 96 mil an hour so the front right side gets the maximum amount of rain the winds The Surge the back right side gets significant rain wind and surge then the left side gets some wind very light rain some rain and a couple of wind wrists so it's really the clean side that you want to be on if you have to be in the path of a hurricane so Houston impacts being on the clean side of this hurricane are mainly along the coastline Coastal showers are likely the coast could see some elevated Tides some surge threats some erosion monitor the forecast for each and every update from the National Hurricane Center but so far this is what we're looking at convection that is offshore some of these bands pushing into the coast some outer bands from Francine bringing us some downpours and when we do get these downpours you'll feel them they're tropical in nature and they're coming from a hurricane so you'll certainly feel some of these heavy downpours and some wind so that's a snapshot at 7 o'clock in the evening for Harris County that's when we should start to see some of the showers pick up and it could continue into the late night but notice overall already scattered in comparison to this Big Blob of organized convection the bulk of the energy from Francine in the bulk of the impact is steering to our East let's talk about the wind gust that's where the majority of the impact will be as well in Louisiana however we still have the potential to see some tropical storm force winds right now wind gust forecast at around 30 m an hour however they could get up to 39 to 57 m an hour and that could continue through Wednesday afternoon so we're watching that we're watching the threat for coastal flooding there is a warning in effect until 4:00 on Wednesday this includes our entire Coastal communities Matagorda Brazoria Galviston and Chambers we're under weather impact alert because of Fran scene all day bottom line is coastal flooding is going to be the main threat for us here in Houston but again keeping an eye on any subtle any changes it's all about the fine details like we talked about here's a live look at Pleasure Pier galison the skies look stormy the waves look choppy there's wind out there but not a ton of it right now in fact it's scaled back just a little bit Northeast at 10 m an hour however those gusts like we talked about are going to get to 20 to 30 m an hour at least then there's a potential for them to get to Tropical Storm Force waves forecast to get to 1 to 3 ft and the downpours could be Heavy at times now with that threat of the waves at 1 to 3 feet we are under a tropical storm watch along the Texas Coastline notice a much bigger threat for Louisiana a hurricane watch with a threat of 5 to 10 feet for those wave heights and on Wednesday the flood risk is very much focused for the Louisiana Coastline even into Mississippi a level three on the 1 to four scale threat Galveston Coastline Chambers and then pushing closer to Lake Charles on the lowest end a one on the 1 to four scale coastal forecast looks like this so temperatures are going to be in the low 80s it's going to look cloudy stormy rainy throughout the day we're going to see the push of some wind throughout the day different from the Inland forecast there's going to be a lot of cloud cover around but those downpours will be scattered again once you get a downpour you'll certainly feel the impacts of it but it's not going to be happening all day in fact some of you might not get any rain at all how about the rain chances on Wednesday I think for the morning we could have something even as late as the early afternoon but from there on out those rain chances start dropping off here's the big picture again as we're tracking for incen most of the energy to our Northeast some outer bands bringing us the potential of downpours more concentrated along the Coast that'll be throughout this afternoon and this evening once we head into Wednesday Francine starts to consolidate even more that's when it becomes a hurricane and that's when it races towards the Louisiana Coastline to make its landfall 7-day forecast for us looks like this weather impact alert for Houston today tomorrow couple leftover showers possible and then things start to clear up so the temperature forecast will start to climb up and those rain chances scale back please stay weather alert today we'll have more updates each and every time the National Hurricane Center issues an advisory we'll check back in with you in a little

back right side gets significant rain wind and surge then the left side gets some wind very light rain some rain and a couple of wind wrist so it's really the clean s that you want to be on if you have to be in the path of a Hur hurricane so Houston impacts being on the clean side of this hurricane are mainly along the coastline Coastal showers are likely the coast could see some elevated Tides some surge threats some erosion monitor the forecast for each and every update from the National Hurricane Center but so far this is what we're looking at convection that is offshore some of these bands pushing into the coast some outer bands from Francine bringing us some downpours and when we do get these downpours you'll feel them they're tropical in nature and they're coming from a hurricane so you'll certainly feel some of these heavy downpours and some wind so that's a snapshot at 7 o'clock in the evening for Harris County that's when we should start to see some of the showers pick up and it could continue into the late night but notice overall pretty scattered in comparison to this Big Blob of organized convection the bulk of the energy from Francine and the bulk of the impact is steering to our East let's let's talk about the wind gust that's where the majority of the impact will be as well in Louisiana however we still have the potential to see some tropical storm Forest winds right now wind gusts forecast at around 30 m an hour however they could get up to 39 to 57 miles an hour and that could continue through Wednesday afternoon so we're watching that we're watching the threat for coastal flooding there is a warning in effect until 4:00 on Wednesday this includes our entire Coastal communities so Matagorda Brazoria Galveston and Chambers we're under weather impact alert because of FR scene all day bottom line is coastal flooding is going to be the main threat for us here in Houston but again keeping an eye on any subtleties any changes it's all about the fine details like we talked about here's a live look at Pleasure Pier galison the skies look stormy the waves look choppy there's wind out there but not a ton of it right now in fact it's scaled back just a little bit Northeast at 10 m an hour however those gusts like we talked about are going to get to 20 to 30 m hour at least then there's a potential for them to get to Tropical Storm Force waves forecast to get to 1 to 3 feet and the downpours could be Heavy at times now with that threat of the waves at 1 to 3 feet we are under a tropical storm watch along the Texas Coastline notice a much bigger threat for Louisiana a hurricane watch with a threat of 5 to 10 ft for those wave heights and on Wednesday the flood risk is very much focused for the Louisiana Coastline even into Mississippi a level three on the one to four scale threat Galveston Coastline Chambers and then pushing closer to Lake Charles on the lowest end a one on the 1 to four scale coastal forecast looks like this so temperatures are going to be in the low 80s it's going to look cloudy stormy rainy throughout the day we're going to see the push of some wind throughout the day different from the Inland forecast there's going to be a lot of cloud cover around but those downpours will be scattered again once you get a downpour you'll certainly feel the impacts of it but it's not going to be happening all day in fact some of you might not get any rain at all how about the rain chances on Wednesday I think for the morning we could have something even as late as the early afternoon but from there on out those rain chances start dropping off here's the big picture again as we're tracking for inen most of the energy to our Northeast some outer bands bringing us the potential of downpours more concentrated along the coast that'll be throughout this afternoon and this evening once we head into Wednesday Francine starts to consolidate even more that's when it becomes a hurricane and that's when it races towards the Louisiana Coastline to make its landfall 7-day forecast for us looks like this weather impact alert for Houston today tomorrow couple leftover showers possible and then things start to clear up so the temperature forecast will start to climb up and those rain chances scale back please stay weather alert today we'll have more updates each and every time the National Hurricane Center issues and advisory we'll check back in with you in a little bit I'm k21 meteorologist Kim Castor brand new update 1:00 advisory from the National Hurricane Center and here's the latest on Francine still a tropical storm with winds at 65 mes an hour it's gained a little bit of speed moving to the Northeast at 9 miles an hour still maintaining its pressure it's expected to become a hurricane a little later on today and maintain that strength as it tracks towards the Louisiana Coastline as of this morning the track has slowed down just a little bit and that has held steady through the 1:00 advisory so now expected to make a landfall a little later on on Wednesday sometime around 7:00 in the evening notice that is where we are going to see the majority of the impacts Louisiana that's the dirty side of this hurricane on the left side the clean side it's exactly as it looks much less disruptive the convective field is really taking aim towards Lafayette and New Orleans so so let's describe the difference between the right side the dirty side and the left side the clean side of a hurricane because when it comes to forecasting it's all about the positioning and which side of the storm you're in so with fine the forecast calls for this to strengthen to an 85 mph hurricane strong category 1 hurricane notice the forward motion right now is at 9 mph let's say at its peak it gets up to 15 M an hour with the right side of a hurricane because it turns counterclockwise and it gains momentum on the right side try to think of this like a baseball player when it starts to wind to hit the ball there's a lot of momentum a lot of force going in to hitting the ball that's the right side of a hurricane the left side is after the player has hit the ball and it starts to uh Ricochet that bat backwards it's a lot less forceful so the right side the left side with France 85 mph winds moving towards the north it's not a direct math equation where you could just add both those numbers but it's really close to that so for this example let's do that 85 + 15 that would put the right side at 100 miles an hour so the dirty side even though it's a category 1 hurricane could feel the force and the impacts of a category 2 hurricane which starts at 96 mil hour so the front right side gets the maximum amount of rain the winds The Surge the back

there's a potential for them to get to Tropical Storm Force waves forecast to get to 1 to 3 feet and the downpours could be Heavy at times now with that thread of the waves at 1 to 3 feet we are under a tropical storm watch along the Texas Coastline notice a much bigger threat for Louisiana a hurricane watch with the threat of 5 to 10 ft for those wave heights and on Wednesday the flood risk is is very much focused for the Louisiana Coastline even into Mississippi a level three on the one to four scale threat Galveston Coastline Chambers and then pushing closer to Lake Charles on the lowest end a one on the one to four scale coastal forecast looks like this so temperatures are going to be in the low 80s it's going to look cloudy stormy rainy throughout the day we're going to see the push of some wind throughout the day different from the Inland forecast there's going to be a lot of cloud cover around but those downpours will be scattered again once you get a downpour you'll certainly feel the impacts of it but it's not going to be happening all day in fact some of you might not get any rain at all how about the rain chances on Wednesday I think for the morning we could have something even as late as the early afternoon but from there on out those rain chances start dropping off here's the big picture again as we're tracking for in scene most of the energy to our Northeast some outer bands bringing us the potential of downpours more concentrated along the coast that'll be throughout this afternoon and this evening once we head into Wednesday Francine starts to consolidate even more that's when it becomes a hurricane and that's when it races towards the Louisiana Coastline to make its landfall 7-day forecast for us looks like this weather impact alert for Houston today tomorrow leftover showers possible and then things start to clear up so the temperature forecast will start to climb up and those rain chances scale back please stay weather alert today we'll have more updates each and every time the National Hurricane Center issues an advisory we'll check back in with you in a little bit I'm k21 meteorologist Kim Castro brand new update 1:00 advisory from the National Hurricane Center and here's the latest on Fran scene still a tropical storm with winds at 65 M an hour it's gained a little bit of speed moving to the Northeast at 9 M an hour still maintaining its pressure it's expected to become a hurricane a little later on today and maintain that strength as it tracks towards the Louisiana coast line as of this morning the track has slowed down just a little bit and that has held steady through the 1:00 advisory so now expected to make a landfall a little later on on Wednesday sometime around 7:00 in the evening notice that is where we are going to see the majority of the impacts Louisiana that's the dirty side of this hurricane on the left side the clean side it's exactly as it looks much less disruptive the convective field is really taking aim towards Lafayette and New Orleans so let's describe the difference between the right side the dirty side and the left side the clean side of a hurricane because when it comes to forecasting it's all about the positioning and which side of the storm you're in so with frine the forecast calls for this to strengthen to an 85 mph hurricane strong category 1 hurricane notice the forward motion right now is at 9 mil an hour let's say at its peak it gets up to 15 miles an hour with the right side of a hurricane because it turns counter clockwise and it gains momentum on the right side try to think of this like a baseball player when it starts to wind to hit the ball there's a lot of momentum a lot of force going in to hitting the ball that's the right side of a hurricane the left side is after the player has hit the ball and it starts to uh Ricochet that bat backwards it's a lot less forceful so the right side the left side with Francine 85 mph winds moving towards the north it's not a direct math equation where you could just add both those numbers but it's really close to that so for this example let's do that 885 plus 15 that would put the right side at 100 miles an hour so the dirty side even though it's a category 1 hurricane could feel the force and the impacts of a category 2 hurricane which starts at 96 miles an hour so the front right side gets the maximum amount of rain the winds The Surge the back right side gets significant rain wind and surge then the left side gets some wind very light rain some rain and a couple of wind wrists so it's really the clean s that you want to be on if you have to be in the path of a hurricane so Houston impacts being on the clean side of this hurricane are mainly along the coastline Coastal showers are likely the coast could see some elevated Tides some surge threats some erosion monitor the forecast for each and every update from the National Hurricane Center but so far this is what we're looking at convection that is offshore some of these bands pushing into the coast some outer bands from Francine bringing us some downpours and when we do get these downpours you'll feel them they're tropical in nature and they're coming from a hurricane so you'll certainly feel some of these heavy downpours and some wind so that's a snapshot at 7 o'clock in the evening for Harris County that's when we should start to see some of the showers pick up and it could continue into the late night but notice overall pretty scattered in comparison to this Big Blob of organized convection the bulk of the energy from Francine and the bulk of the impact is steering to our East let's talk about the wind gust that's where the majority of the impact will be as well in Louisiana however we still have the potential to see some tropical storm Forest winds right now wind gust forecast at around 30 m an hour however they could get up to 39 to 57 M an hour and that could continue through Wednesday afternoon so we're watch watching that we're watching the threat for coastal flooding there is a warning in effect until 4:00 on Wednesday this includes our entire Coastal communities of Matagorda brazor Galveston and Chambers we're under weather impact alert because of freen scene all day bottom line is coastal flooding is going to be the main threat for us here in Houston but again keeping an

it's gain a little bit of speed moving to the Northeast at 9 M hour still maintaining its pressure it's it's expected to become a hurricane a little later on today and maintain that strength as it tracks towards the Louisiana Coastline as of this morning the track has slowed down just a little bit and that has held steady through the 1:00 advisory so now expected to make a landfall a little later on on Wednesday sometime around 7:00 in the evening notice that is where we are going to see the majority of the impacts Louisiana that's the dirty side of this hurricane on the left side the clean side it's exactly as it looks much less disruptive the convective field is really taking aim towards Lafayette and New Orleans so let's describe the difference between the right side the dirty side and the left side the clean side of a hurricane because when it comes to forecasting it's all about the positioning and which side of the storm you're in so with frine the forecast calls for this to strengthen to an 85 mph hurricane strong category 1 hurricane notice the forward motion right now is at 9 M an hour let's say at its peak it gets up to 15 mil an hour with the right side of a hurricane because it turns counterclockwise and it gains momentum on the right side try to think of this like a baseball player when it starts to wind to hit the ball there's a lot of momentum a lot of force going in to hitting the ball that's the right side of a hurricane the left side side is after the player has hit the ball and it starts to uh Ricochet that bat backwards it's a lot less forceful so the right side the left side with Francine 85 mph winds moving towards the north it's not a direct math equation where you could just add both those numbers but it's really close to that so for this example let's do that 855 + 15 that would put the right side at 100 miles an hour so the dirty side even though it's a cat or 1 hurricane could feel the force and the impacts of a category 2 hurricane which starts at 96 milph so the front right side gets the maximum amount of rain the winds The Surge the back right side gets significant rain wind and surge then the left side gets some wind very light rain some rain and a couple of wind risks so it's really the clean s that you want to be on if you have to be in the path of a hurricane so Houston impacts being on the clean side of this hurricane are mainly along the coastline Coastal showers are likely the coast could see some elevated Tides some surge threats some erosion monitor the forecast for each and every update from the National Hurricane Center but so far this is what we're looking at convection that is offshore some of these bands pushing into the coast some outer bands from Francine bringing us some downpours and when we do get these downpours you'll feel them they're tropical in nature and they're coming from a hurricane so you'll certainly feel some of these heavy downpours and some wind so that's a snapshot at 7 o'clock in the evening for Harris County that's when we should start to see some of the showers pick up and it could continue into the late night but notice overall pretty scattered in comparison to this Big Blob of organized convection the bulk of the energy from Francine and the bulk of the impact is steering to our East let's talk about the wind gust that's where the majority of the impact will be as well in Louisiana however we still have the potential to see some tropical storm force winds right now wind gusts forecast at around 30 m an hour however they could get up to 39 to 57 miles an hour and that could continue through Wednesday afternoon so we're watching that we're watching the threat for coastal flooding there is a warning in effect until 4:00 on Wednesday this includes our entire Coast communities Matagorda Brazoria Galveston and Chambers we're under weather impact alert because of fry and all day bottom line is coastal flooding is going to be the main threat for us here in Houston but again keeping an eye on any subtleties any changes it's all about the fine details like we talked about here's a live look at Pleasure Pier Galvis the skies look stormy the waves look choppy there's wind out there but not a ton of of it right now in fact it's scaled back just a little bit Northeast at 10 m an hour however those gusts like we talked about are going to get to 20 to 30 m hour at least then there's a potential for them to get to Tropical Storm Force waves forecast to get to 1 to 3 feet and the downpours could be Heavy at times now with that threat of the waves at 1 to 3 feet we are under a tropical storm watch along the Texas Coastline notice a much bigger threat for Louisiana a h hurricane watch with a threat of 5 to 10 ft for those wave heights and on Wednesday the flood risk is very much focused for the Louisiana Coastline even into Mississippi a level three on the one to four scale threat Galveston Coastline Chambers and then pushing closer to Lake Charles on the lowest end a one on the 1 to four scale coastal forecast looks like this so temperatures are going to be in the low 80s it's going to look cloudy stormy rainy throughout the day we're going to see the push of some wind throughout the day different from the Inland forecast there's going to be a lot of cloud cover around but those downpours will be scattered again once you get a downpour you'll certainly feel the impacts of it but it's not going to be happening all day in fact some of you might not get any rain at all how about the rain chances on Wednesday I think for the morning we could have something even as late as the early afternoon but from there on out those rain chances start dropping off here's the big picture again as we're tracking for in scene most of the energy to our Northeast some outer bands bringing us the potential of downpours more concentrated along the coast that'll be throughout this afternoon and this evening once we head into Wednesday Francine starts to consolidate even more that's when it becomes a hurricane and that's when it races towards the Louisiana coastline line to make its landfall 7-day forecast for us looks like this weather impact alert for Houston today tomorrow couple leftover showers possible and then things start to clear up so the temperature forecast will start to climb up and those rain chances scale back

good Tuesday evening everybody David Paul here in the K U1 weather center well we've got now hurricane Francine in the Gulf of Mexico this one's going to miss us we're going to have minor impacts minor Coastal impacts impacts a few scattered showers on the coast and Inland and luckily this time around that looks like it's going to be about it let me take you through all the details and we'll take a look at when that's going to hit Louisiana looks like they're going to take a full hit from a cat one Francine tomorrow it's a beautiful evening in Galveston I think it's beautiful I love gston when it's rainy uh I always have I've been going down here since uh since I could walk uh
