Ida, which was downgraded from a Category 4 hurricane to a tropical storm on Monday, is expected to continue losing strength but will remain a dangerous storm system as it moves across much of the Southeast and into the North.

According to the National Hurricane Center, heavy rainfall could result in"catastrophic impacts" and flash flooding, with rain totals reaching as much as 24 inches in some parts of Southeast Louisiana. In coastal Alabama, rainfall could reach four to eight inches through Tuesday, while Mississippi could see up to a foot of rain.

"Heavy rain combined with storm surge has resulted in catastrophic impacts along the southeast coast of Louisiana, with considerable flash flooding and riverine flooding continuing farther inland,'' the hurricane center said. The National Weather Service shared a map of vulnerable areas and said flash flooding will continue throughout Monday afternoon in Western Alabama, Eastern Mississippi and far southeastern Louisiana.

Flash flooding will continue through the afternoon hours in association with Tropical Storm Ida. Rainfall rates of 1-3"/hr will result in additional localized totals of 3-6" through 7PM CDT.
