HWRF coming in on EAST side of the river this run. Small change but could have big difference in impact if it were to be the actual track.

If predicted 4-6ft surge in lake Pontchartrain holds with predicted 9" of rain, Slidell will see some flooding. There will be nowhere for the rainwater to drain.

SWBNO Provides Update Ahead of Tropical Storm Sally Updated 9/13/2020 6:24:11 AM ×
The Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans (SWBNO) is closely monitoring Tropical Storm Sally.
Currently, 98 of 99 drainage pumps are available for service. As of last night, the drainage pump at Drainage Pump Station 13 in Algiers that was under repair is now back in service. One drainage pump, located at a drainage pump station on Grant Street in New Orleans East is out of service pending electrical repairs. It is a small, 70 cfs (cubic feet per second) pump. We expect to have it repaired by tomorrow. But we know there is a chance for heavy rainfall before the repair is made. That’s why we pumped the canal down further than normal to increase water storage capacity. Additionally, because the area that pump station drains is largely wooded, there is naturally stormwater storage capacity there. We don’t expect any significant impacts from not having that pump available.
One constant-duty pump is out of service, but these are smaller units used to regulate groundwater in canals and are not large enough to be critical during a flood fight.
Turbines 1, 3, 4 and 6 are available for service, as well as all 5 Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD) generators and all frequency changers.
As a reminder, underpasses should be avoided during severe weather because they are prone to flooding.
We encourage residents to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram at @SWBNewOrleans for updates.

Ugh

I won’t sleep for the next 24 hours

Glad to see the pro’s saying that it does not appear to have enough room to make it to cat 2.
Despite that, this thing harkens back to memories of Isaac and that was a very underrated storm imo

It always seems like when you read these they're always saying they have all but 1 pump up or at 99% capacity after a repair then all of sudden they're like well something happened and we don't know what when several pumps fail. It's like reading propaganda they always read the same but then shite hits the fan on them.

Try the National Weather Service site. type your zip in the search...Forecast Discussion link is at the bottom of the page.

This is always the best place to find location-specific updates that are as current as it gets. Also, following your local NWS office on Twitter is always a good idea. Those folks get paid to tell you what to expect in your area.
