INLAND TROPICAL STORM WATCHES ARE IN EFFECT FOR INLAND SOUTHWEST ALABAMA AND INTERIOR SOUTHEASTERN MISSISSIPPI. INTERESTS ELSEWHERE ALONG THE NORTHERN COAST OF THE GULF OF MEXICO SHOULD MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF IDA. ADDITIONAL TROPICAL CYCLONE WATCHES OR WARNINGS MAY BE REQUIRED TONIGHT OR MONDAY. .STORM INFORMATION...AT 600 PM CST...THE CENTER OF HURRICANE IDA WAS LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 23.1 NORTH...LONGITUDE 86.5 WEST OR ABOUT 445 MILES SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF THE MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. IDA IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTH-NORTHWEST NEAR 12 MPH. A GRADUAL TURN TOWARD THE NORTH AND AN INCREASE IN FORWARD SPEED ARE EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS. ON THE FORECAST TRACK...IDA IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE GULF OF MEXICO TONIGHT AND MONDAY...AND BE NEAR THE NORTHERN GULF COAST MONDAY NIGHT OR EARLY TUESDAY. REPORTS FROM AN AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT INDICATE MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE INCREASED TO NEAR 105 MPH...WITH HIGHER GUSTS. IDA IS A CATEGORY TWO HURRICANE ON THE SAFFIR-SIMPSON SCALE. LITTLE CHANGE IN STRENGTH IS EXPECTED TONIGHT...AND IDA IS FORECAST TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN ON MONDAY.

IF IDA MOVES IN EARLIER...THE TIME OF ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDE MAY COINCIDE WITH LANDFALL WHICH COULD RAISE THE AFOREMENTIONED VALUES. ...SEAS... COASTAL ALABAMA AND NORTHWEST FLORIDA SEAS WILL BUILD FROM THEIR CURRENT 7 TO 10 FEET RANGE TONIGHT... REACHING A MAXIMUM OF 20 TO 25 FEET EARLY TUESDAY MORNING NEAR THE PEAK OF THE EVENT.
