Tropical Storm Francine 4 AM Tuesday update: Louisiana landfall Wednesday

Tropical Storm Francine is still making a beeline for a Louisiana landfall midday Wednesday as possibly a category-2 hurricane.
Overnight Francine did not strengthen thanks to dry air. The storm is forecast to restart intensifying Tuesday and the official forecast has the storm as a hurricane today and Wednesday. Landfall is still expected in South Louisiana Wednesday afternoon as a hurricane with winds as high as 100 mph. Luckily wind shear will increase on Wednesday, so hopefully we see the storms weakening upon approach to land, but you should prepare for a Cat 2 hurricane in coastal areas.

How refreshing to have a NOLA meterologist that seems more interested in giving a science based weather forecast instead of spewing for profit, panic inducing, dramatic weather news! Keep this guy please WWL! I'll be back for more news at WWL!!

Thank you, Payton. I can always count on you to be chill but informative. Living in Europe, I always worry about family and friends.

What makes this hurricane hook to the east even though it still headed northwest? It’s gonna have to make a 45 degree turn to do what they say it’s gonna do!
