Tropical information for the Coast, by the Coast,
From the staff at Tropical Storm Research Center in Gulf Shores, Alabama, please accept our best wishes for a very happy and safe New Year.
We hope that the 2011 Tropical Storm season will be as mild as in the past two seasons. Our Hurricane Preparedness postings will start in May 2011 and if any local weather conditions develop locally before May that have the potential to cause damage, we will place announcements in this blog.
For the states of southeastern Missouri, southern Illinois, most of Tennessee, most of Kentucky, northern Alabama, northern Mississippi, and northeastern Arkansas –
The National Weather Service is announcing that an ICE STORM may affect the areas mentioned starting late Tuesday night, December 14, and into Wednesday, December 15. This ice storm has the potential to cover roads with up to 3/4 inch or more of ice in these areas. Travel will be nearly impossible where the rain freezes on contact. This also has the potential to knock down power lines and trees. Please use the interactive map in the link below for up to the minute regional details for your area:
