Heres your center of circulation and the convection is being blown far from that. Its a dying storm. Whats going to happen for the coastline from the louisiana coastline into portions of texas, modest winds, storm surge 2 to 4 feet. Not anything close to the worst theyve seen.

Were looking at possibly landfall, maybe 1 to 2 days later. Thursday in the morning with 105mileperhour winds.

Lets go to Northern California where firefighters are battling two massive wildfires as wind gusts fan the flames. At least six people have died already and our Jonathan Vigliotti is near the flames. Good morning. Most of these fires have moved into steep terrain which is complicating efforts this morning to contain them.
