Ida brings the threat of heavy rain and flash flooding for the Western Carolinas.
Ida will begin to bring impacts to the Carolinas by Late Tuesday.
Ida made two landfalls in Louisiana Sunday afternoon as an extremely dangerous Category 4 Hurricane. This is bringing storm surge, inland flooding, wind damage and isolated tornadoes to the Gulf Coast. Our weather will remain hot and mostly dry into the early week.
Hurricane Ida blasted ashore along the Louisiana coast on Sunday, with the eye of one of the most powerful storms ever tp hit the U.S. arriving near the barrier island of Grand Isle.
The Charlotte area and Western Carolinas remain hot and mostly dry while Ida moves into Louisiana on Sunday.
New Orleans finds itself in the path of Hurricane Ida 16 years to the day after floodwalls collapsed and levees were overtopped by a storm surge driven by Hurricane Katrina. That flooding killed more than 1,000 people and caused billions in damage.
The final victim, who went missing after historic flooding in Haywood County due to Tropical Storm Fred, has been found, according to emergency services.
Ida forecast to become a major hurricane before making landfall along the LA/MS Gulf coast late this weekend.
