Hurricane Francine is expected to make landfall on the Louisiana coast as a Category 1 or 2 hurricane, bringing strong winds and heavy rains to the region. As the storm moves northward, Mississippi residents are urged to review their insurance policies, especially regarding flood coverage, as most homeowners' policies do not cover flood damage. Alabama may experience heavy rain and a risk of tornadoes, particularly in the central part of the state, where conditions are favorable for tornadic activity. In Tennessee, the eastern areas are at a greater risk for tornadoes due to the storm's track, though any tornadoes that form are likely to be small. The Carolinas will initially remain calm but should expect rain and cooler temperatures by the weekend as Francine's remnants arrive. Overall, while the storm will weaken, its impacts will still be felt across multiple states throughout the week.
