The remnants of hurricane Ida came ashore on the 10th of November along the coast of Alabama and western Florida. The system tracked across Georgia and over the western Atlantic on the 11th through the 13th and then meandered to the east as it weakened. A strong area of high pressure and a larger scale ridge precluded the storm from moving to the north. The slow moving storm produced heavy rainfall from Alabama to the Mid-Atlantic region (Fig. 1). Some areas locally received 200-300 mm of rainfall as the storm lumbered up the coast. This event was realitively well predicted by the NCEP models and ensemble forecast systems.
