Tropical Storm Francine 4 AM Tuesday update: Louisiana landfall Wednesday

Tropical Storm Francine is still making a beeline for a Louisiana landfall midday Wednesday as possibly a category-2 hurricane. Overnight Francine did not strengthen thanks to dry air. The storm is forecast to restart intensifying Tuesday and the official forecast has the storm as a hurricane today and Wednesday. Landfall is still expected in South Louisiana Wednesday afternoon as a hurricane with winds as high as 100 mph. Luckily wind shear will increase on Wednesday, so hopefully we see the storms weakening upon approach to land, but you should prepare for a Cat 2 hurricane in coastal areas.
