The new (2200) +12 and + 24 hour estimated positions indicate the eye's center will pass over Port Sulphur, and pass 4.7 miles due east of Picayune. Closest point of approach to the downtown New Orleans center is 25.9 miles east of the city.

The 1600 +12 and +24 hour plots indicated a closest point of approach of 12.1 miles east of the city.

The 2200 indicated position of the eye's center shows either no indication or possibly a slight indication of a turn to the north. The 1826 plot was taken during a wobble to the east, and shouldn't be used for a course track by itself. The average of the 1255, 1600, 1826, and 2200 plots indicate landfall of the eye's center between Caillou and Moncleuse Bays.

The New Orleans radar still shows it bearing down right on top of the city. Some of the heavier bands nearer the center of the storm are starting to enter the city. Conditions south of the city look very bad already, and getting much worse rapidly.
