At 1000 AM EDT...National Weather Service Doppler RADAR indicated
widespread rainfall occurring with Tropical Depression Ida around
the circulation center across the Tennessee Valley, as well as
northward into the Ohio Valley and east into the southern
Appalachians. Additional northeasterly moving rainbands continued
along the southeast side of the system through portions of
Georgia, southeastern Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle. Some
gusty winds between 20 to 25 mph were observed to the north of the
circulation, with gusts up to 35 mph noted with the rainbands to
the southeast. Below are preliminary rainfall and wind
observations associated with Tropical Depression Ida. Due to power
outages and damage in southeastern Louisiana where Ida made
landfall, some stations may not be reporting rainfall
observations. Additionally, strong winds from Ida may have led to
under-reporting of rainfall in this area. For more information
regarding the location and track of Tropical Depression Ida,
please refer to www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov.
