Weather Update 9.14.21 - U.S.

Posted by Jarrett on Sep 14, 2021 7:27:59 AM


Summary: After making landfall overnight as a Category 1 Hurricane, the center of Nicholas is now located just southwest of Houston, and will bring tropical storm impacts while moving northeast along the Texas coastline, including storm surge, rainfall, and isolated tornadoes in the central Gulf Coast areas. The potential for major rainfall flooding will be the most widespread threat from Nicholas going forward, especially since this includes areas still recovering from Hurricane Ida in southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi. Embargoes are still in place for much of the freight destined for coastal Louisiana including New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Advisories: Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida
