Hurricane Ida is tracking inland after a destructive landfall in Louisiana.

Here are a few maps that show the latest information on this system.

Projected Path

(The red-shaded area denotes the potential path of the center of the tropical cyclone. It's important to note that impacts (particularly heavy rain, high surf, coastal flooding, winds) with any tropical cyclone usually spread beyond its forecast path.)

Computer Forecast Models

(The lines of this graphic represent several of the many track forecasts from various computer models. This is not an official forecast, but these are used as guidance for creating the projected path.)

Current Satellite
