13 Summary of Impacts Wind Greatest chance of TS force winds is across extreme SE LA and S MS. Tropical Storm Force winds likely Hurricane force winds (especially gusts) likely near and just to the right of the storm s center Rainfall Squalls likely developing late Saturday and continuing into Sunday. Rainfall of 3 to 6 inches near and to the right of the storm center with decreasing amounts to the west Fast movement does mean a lower threat of high rainfall totals, but shorter term rainfall rates could still result ponding

14 Summary of Impacts, cont Storm Surge Maximum 4 to 8 feet above ground along the open coastline east of the Mississippi River (including MS coast) Maximum 3 to 6 feet above ground along the open coastline west of the Mississippi River Maximum 3 to 5 feet above ground along the shore of Lake Pontchartrain, except far eastern where 4 to 7 feet will be possible Maximum 1 to 3 feet above ground along the shore of Lake Maurepas Impacts will be highly dependent on track.
