MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - Ida made landfall near Port Fourchon, Louisiana, as a 150 mph category 4 storm around noon Sunday. Now, it has weakened to a tropical storm as it moves northward across Mississippi.
It will soon curve northeastward and push across far northern Alabama and Tennessee tonight and tomorrow.

While not nearly as substantial as what they have seen down to our southwest, we are expecting impacts from Ida here in central and southern Alabama today, tonight and tomorrow.
Those impacts will mostly come from Ida’s rain bands on the eastern and southeastern side of the storm’s center.

As we saw on Sunday, those rain bands will bring less than ideal conditions whenever they push through your neighborhood.
They’ll be capable of producing heavy tropical rain, some instances of flash flooding, some quick spin-up tornadoes, and strong gusty winds of 25-45 mph.

It’s impossible to tell you exactly where and when those impacts will be at their worst as it all comes down to the very fine details of each individual rain band. Between rain bands it may not be too windy or rainy, but we’d expect more time with rain and gusty winds than quiet weather.

Later this morning through Tuesday afternoon is the window in which we have the greatest chance of seeing heavy rain, instances of flash flooding, a tropical tornado risk, and gusty winds.
We can also tell you that those generally along and west of U.S. 231 have the highest probability of seeing rain totals of 3-4″ and some instances of flash flooding. Those along and east of that corridor are in for 1-2″ of rain.

The risk of tornadoes is highest (level 2-of-4) west and south of Montgomery today and tonight, but everyone is in at least a level 1-of-4 risk for spin-up tornadoes. The level 2-of-4 risk zone shifts east and includes those generally along and east of I-65 on Tuesday.
Ida’s remnants will push far enough away by Tuesday night to end our threat for rain here in Central Alabama. Then we’re in for an absolutely delightful forecast as September gets underway.

We’ll have lower humidity, comfortable overnights in the 60s, nice afternoons near 90, and ample sunshine from Thursday through Sunday. There is no threat of rain either aside from a minimal chance later in the day on Wednesday.
