Already hit with widespread flooding, New Orleans is expected to be the target of the first Atlantic hurricane of the season in the next 48 hours, forecasters said
- A storm churning in the Gulf of Mexico and aimed at water-logged New Orleans was expected to make landfall as the first Atlantic hurricane of the 2019 season by late Friday or early Saturday, forecasters said.
Meteorologists predicted between 10 and 20 inches of rain would fall on the Gulf Coast on Friday and Saturday from West Texas through New Orleans and the Louisiana coast. The storm will be named Barry if it strengthens into a tropical storm with winds of 39 mph or more on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale. It will become Hurricane Barry if it reaches wind speeds of 74 mph as expected when it makes landfall near the mouth of the Mississippi River and just west of New Orleans.“The storm system will likely produce storm surge, hurricane force winds,” he said at a news conference. “No one should take this storm lightly.”U.S.
