IN THE MIDDLE OF A HURRICANE: Storm chaser takes us inside Delta
We will be impacted by Delta even though the storm will likely make landfall to our east in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.
Tropical storm winds are likely along the coast starting Friday morning and picking up through the early afternoon. Minor coastal flooding will be possible through Friday. Outer rainbands of Delta will impact us off and on through the night with the western edge of Delta's core rains grazing our coastal counties for several hours Friday. Because the storm is expected to move quickly northeast after its late Friday
landfall, we expect sunshine and hot weather to return Saturday.
Hurricane season officially ends on the last day of November, but Texans can usually breathe a sigh of relief by mid-October once the jet stream shifts and fall cold fronts start pushing through the Lone Star State. We are almost there! You'll still want to continue to stay prepared and have your hurricane preparedness plan in place, just in case.
Remember to check back with us online and on your streaming TV devices like Roku, Apple TV, etc.
