Hurricane Ida is a Category 4 MAJOR HURRICANE with winds of 145 mph. The barometric pressure continues to plummet measuring 946 mb. At 4 a.m. CDT, the center of Hurricane Ida was located over the northern Gulf of Mexico about 75 miles (120 km) south of the mouth of the Mississippi River and about 145 miles (230 km) southeast of Houma, Louisiana. Ida is moving toward the northwest near 15 mph (24 km/h), and this general motion should continue through tonight and early Monday, followed by a slower northward motion on Monday afternoon. A northeastward turn is forecast by Monday night. On the forecast track, the center of Ida will continue moving across the north-central Gulf of Mexico this morning, and make landfall along the coast of southeastern Louisiana within the hurricane warning area this afternoon or evening. SUMMARY OF 500 AM CDT...1000 UTC...INFORMATION ---------------------------------------------- LOCATION...28.2N 89.3W ABOUT 80 MI...130 KM SSE OF GRAND ISLE LOUISIANA ABOUT 65 MI...100 KM S OF THE MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...145 MPH...230 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...NW OR 315 DEGREES AT 15 MPH...24 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...946 MB...27.93 INCHES Meanwhile, Tropical Depression 10 continues to track northward over the open water several hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands.

OP Marty	The easterly Caribbean winds are returning, and there is some high level cloud, which is not moving very much, but there are a few patches of rain around, mainly in the north, off shore and some inland. HURRICANE IDA is just about to slam into the New Orleans area as Cat.4 Today Cloud is building as a result of sunlight on the ground, there is some cloud classing causing some rain, mainly up north. Some rain patches are presently only out at sea, reducing as the day progresses. Tonight Looks as if it will be a dry night. Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler ) Last Night 25°C 77°F Yesterday max. 34°C 93°F Yesterday Rain 0 mm (0") Over Night Rain 0 mm (0")
