National Hurricane Center

We analyzed the tropical cyclone locus of the National Hurricane Center which is part of the National Meteorological Center of Tropical Forecast Center. We studied hurricane forecasts developed by scientists at NOAA Climate Prediction Center, Hurricane Research Center, and National Hurricane Center. We also found that the "US Landing Hurricane Probability Project" developed by Dr. William Gray of Colorado State University in the United States is also very useful.

Hurricane Katrina's latest National Hurricane Center was updated on August 29, 2005. At 10 am, the Hurricane Katrina Center landed near the Mississippi border in Louisiana province.

Along the Katrina path through Gulf Coast and Tennessee Valley there may be 15 inches of precipitation with maximum rainfall of 5 to 10 inches.
