The hurricane progressed to the Arkansas border on August 30th, although feeder bands persisted over Mississippi and Louisiana through the first days of September. By September 5th, a remnant of Hurricane Isaac moved south from the Ohio River Valley back to the Gulf of Mexico. That remnant remained quasi-stationary along the Gulf Coast until September 8th, when a cold front steered the storm northeast, away from Louisiana and Mississippi. The bulk of the heavy rains occurred during August in Hurricane Isaac. Rain totals over 10.0 inches were reported at several locations; Livingston, LA measured 17.87 inches by September 2nd. Areal rainfall totals for August 27th through September 2nd, were over 7.0 inches for southeast and east-central Louisiana.

  • Hurricane Isaac Information from NHC Advisory 33B, 8:00 AM CDT Wednesday August 29, 2012 Hurricane Isaac Continues to Lash New Orleans
    HURRICANE TRACKING ADVISORY eVENT™ Hurricane Isaac Information from NHC Advisory 33B, 8:00 AM CDT Wednesday August 29, 2012 Hurricane Isaac continues to lash New Orleans. Isaac is expected to move over Louisiana today and tomorrow and over southern Arkansas early Friday. Weakening is forecast as Isaac moves over land over the next 48 hours, but dangerous storm surge and flood threats from heavy rains are likely to continue through today and tonight. Intensity Measures Position & Heading Landfall Forecast (NHC) Max Sustained Wind 80 mph Position Relative to 40 miles SSW of New Orleans Speed: (cat. 1 hurricane) Land: Now southwest of New Est. Time & Region: Orleans Louisiana Min Central Pressure: 970 mb Coordinates: 29.5 N, 90.5 W T.S. Force Winds: 175 miles Est. Max Sustained Wind 80 mph Bearing/Speed: NW or 310 degrees at 6 mph Hurricane Force Winds: 60 miles Speed: (cat. 1 hurricane) Forecast Summary Within 24 hours, there is a 12% chance Isaac will remain at hurricane strength (74+ mph winds), a 74% chance Isaac will weaken to a tropical storm (39-73 mph winds), and a 14% chance Isaac will further weaken to tropical depression strength or dissipate (winds below 39 mph). The windfield map – based on the CLP5 forecast (below right) – shows that this model has forecast the storm’s peak winds at category 1 hurricane strength (74-95 mph winds). The CLP5 – one of many models used by NOAA – has been statistically identified as the current “best performing” model for Hurricane Isaac by Kinetic Analysis Corp. The combinations of a storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters.
