Much of the weather world is rightfully watching the powerful Hurricane Ida make landfall in Louisiana today. Thankfully, the weather is much more benign around these parts. Storms are firing up to our south this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon, when they may be close enough to affect our region. But I’m not expecting much disruption tomorrow, with most of us in for just another hot and humid day.

       Ida vs. Katrina: The comparison is just waiting to be made, considering Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Louisiana 16 years ago to the day. That storm was life-changing for many reasons, and Ida will probably be the same, just for a smaller group of people. Why? Well, certainly better forecasts and emergency management, but also for the simple fact that Katrina was a much larger (in physical size) storm, with a larger wind field.
