NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Ida has been upgraded to a Category 1 Hurricane ahead of landfall in Louisiana Sunday night.

The latest forecast track from the National Hurricane Center shows winds will strengthen to 120 MPH and the center will cross the coast in southwest Terrebonne Parish. This track sends the core of the storm into parts of the western FOX 8 viewing area like Houma, Thibodaux then up through the River Parishes into Baton Rouge. Significant rain and wind impacts will still be felt across the rest of the area as the storm moves inland. The cone of uncertainty remains from SW LA to the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

All residents need to be preparing for their worst case scenario inside the cone. That includes the possibility the storm will shift around in the cone and could also be stronger at landfall. Now is the time to enact your hurricane plans and listen to your public officials. If you are told to evacuate, do so.

The FOX 8 Weather Team is staying ahead of every update from the National Hurricane Center and tracking Ida constantly. Download the FOX 8 Weather App, it will be your tool to guide you through this storm. It’s also the best tool to have when the power goes out during the storm.
