Unexpectedly- Ida grew to hurricane strength since our last report Saturday morning.

One of the (late) season's only hurricanes to threaten the U.S. Gulf coast- Ida with Cat-1 sustained winds of 90 mph lies nearly between Mexico's Yucatan and Cuba this Sunday morning._0832Cst.jpg)
An area of the U.S. Gulf coast from near New Orleans- Louisiana east to Florida are on the heightened alert as Ida slowly churns that way.
The hurricane could approach a Florida panhandle landfall- but curve rightward and stay over the Gulf waters by Wednesday.
Locally- one nice really warm day today- before a frontal system that's been hanging to the northwest of the Kansas City MetroRegion begins moving- bringing a chance of showers- possibly a thunderstorm on Monday.

No severe weather here though.
Metro highs today into the 72-77 degree range before some clouds move in- with highs Monday outside the rain areas reaching the middle-60's.

I doan think Ida's gonna do anything but tinkle on my house real good. My biggest concern right now is for an oil ship/platform 210 miles South of Grand Isle, La ("The end of the world"). There are quite a few aboard, and their employer ain't evac'd anybody. I ain't calling names, but thats about as bogus as it gets!
Hunkered down and waitin',
