Hurricane Nate 85 MPH Moving Northward

New Orleans Biloxi Landfall

Hurricane Nate is continuing to move on a steady NNW course at 22 mph with 85 mph. Nate has strengthened overnight and conditions are favorable for further strengthening until landfall this evening. The forecast track would take Hurricane Nate near or just to the east of New Orleans but the structure of this hurricane is such that there really isn’t too much going on west of the center. Winds are stronger on the East side so the bigger impact perhaps be more toward Biloxi Gulfport Ms east to Mobile Alabama. There is time for Nate to reach category 2 status before landfall.

DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
——————————
At 700 AM CDT (1200 UTC), the center of Hurricane Nate was located
near latitude 25.7 North, longitude 88.0 West. Nate is moving toward
the north-northwest near 22 mph (35 km/h), and this general fast
motion is expected to continue through tonight. A turn toward the
north is forecast on Sunday morning, followed by a turn toward the
north-northeast thereafter. On the forecast track, the center of
Nate will move across the central and northern Gulf of Mexico today
and will make landfall along the central U.S. Gulf coast tonight.

Reports from NOAA and Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft
indicate that maximum sustained winds have increased to near 85 mph
(135 km/h) with higher gusts. Some additional strengthening is
possible before Nate makes landfall along the northern Gulf coast.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125
miles (205 km).

The minimum central pressure reported by the Hurricane Hunters is
986 mb (29.12 inches).
