Hammond man arrested for suspected armed robbery and domestic violence

$2,500. Spreading on WDSU. First warning weather. We're really going to be watching for friends and neighbors to the east. We're going to be watching for the camera here in the Gulfport Island View Casino area, where there could be significant storm surge or at least some coastal flooding. But that's about the biggest impacts we're going to see. Again, some coastal flooding, some high winds. This thing is moving way east of us here. When I say way east, I mean Florida. Big Ben of Florida. Unfortunately, IDALIA hit here last year, which was a Category 4. If you look at the latest stats, it's 50 mph winds. But this is already a very large, widespread storm. The forecast is for it to enter the Gulf around noon tomorrow. Since it's a Category 1, it'll maintain that status and strengthen Wednesday night into Thursday, almost to 2,000 mph. But then it will rapidly strengthen as it moves through very warm waters, very humid conditions, and low wind shear, and then make landfall in the Big Bend area. APALACHICOLA, SOPCHOPPY NEAR PERRY, AND THEN ACROSS GEORGIA AND TENNESSEE INTO KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN ILLINOIS, WITH A FINAL LAP THAT WILL DROPS A LOT OF HEAVY RAIN IN THOSE AREAS. SO THE TROPICAL FORECAST TRACKS ARE FITTING TOGETHER VERY WELL. AND SO THE CONFIDENCE OF WHERE EXACTLY THE STORM IS GOING IS NOW INCREASING TO A HIGH CONFIDENCE FACTOR. THERE ARE THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER TRACKS. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SEEING. THE ENSEMBLE DATA. WE'RE DOING A FORECAST HERE IN THE U.S. AND THEN WE DO IT AGAIN 30 TIMES. WE MAKE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS. IN EUROPE THEY MAKE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO THIS FORECAST AND THEY DO IT 50 TIMES. BUT LOOK AT THE CENTERLINE TRACK THROUGH EVERYONE. IT LINES UP VERY, VERY WELL WITH THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER CENTER TRACK. AND YOU LOOK AT THE CONE OF UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHICH DIRECTION IT COULD SWAG BACK AND FORTH. FROM EUROPE IT'S GETTING SMALLER AND SMALLER, ALMOST OVERHEAD THE EXACT LINE OF THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER POINT. THE TIME OF LANDING NOW A LITTLE LATER ON THURSDAY EVENING. THE FORECAST HERE FROM THE U.S. WAS A LITTLE SLOWER. A LITTLE FURTHER EAST. THE TIMING SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE LATER AGAIN AS THIS SHOWS AT 8:00, 8 TO 9 TO 10:00. THAT'S ACTUALLY SOME OF THE LATEST DATA JUST ADJUSTED FROM EARLIER WHERE IT WAS A LITTLE FURTHER EAST AND NOW IT'S SWINGING WEST AGAIN. THE EARLIEST ARRIVAL TIME OF THE TROPICAL STORM WINDS IS BETWEEN 6 AND 8. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE TIME OF LANDING, THAT WOULD BE LATER BECAUSE, AGAIN, THE TROPICAL STORM WINDS EXTEND VERY FAR, ESPECIALLY WITH A LARGE AND EXPANDING STORM. SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE TIME OF LANDING, THAT SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE LATER THAN EVEN SOME OF THESE PARTICULAR FORECASTS. I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE HURRICANE HUNTERS FROM TAMPA COMING OUT AND CHECKING ALL THE DATA. AND IT KEEPS SHAKING, SHAKING, JUST MADE ITS WAY THROUGH HELENE AND NOW IS MAKING SOME OTHERS PASS. AND WHAT I'M WATCHING HERE IS SEEING WHAT THAT CLOUD COVER IS DOING. WHEN WE SEE A FORMED EYE, THE SUN IS SETTING ON THESE VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGES. BUT VERY IMPRESSIVE DATA. YOU SEE WATER TEMPERATURES OF 80 DEGREES FOR THE GOLF LOOP. SOME DATA SHOWS 87 TO 88. ON ​​TOP OF THAT, VERY HUMID AIR AND VERY LOW WINDSHIELD HERE AS WELL. ALL SIGNS THAT WE'RE HAVING A STRENGTHENING, THE FORECAST IS POSSIBLE, A RAPID STRENGTHENING. WE ALREADY HAVE WAVE HEIGHTS UP TO 13 FT. AND LOOK AT SOME OF THESE WIND FORECASTS. THE GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH INLAND BEFORE THE STORMS. EVEN THERE. AND LOOK AT THIS DATA AGAIN SHOWING POSSIBLE WINDS HERE. LOOK AT THOSE WINDS OF 90 MILES PER HOUR. BUT THAT MIGHT BE NOT ENOUGH. BUT WITH A BIG STORM, STORM SURGE COULD BE A VERY, VERY BIG PROBLEM, UP TO MAYBE 15 FT. AND THE ENTIRE WEST COAST IS UNDER THREAT. FOR US HERE, BUT, THAT MEANS SOME FINER WEATHER IS GOING TO START
