Gordon, with max winds at 65 miles per hour, is about 145 miles east-southeast of the mouth of Mississippi River and moving quickly toward the west-northwest at 15 mph, the NHC said in its 10 a.m. update.
On the forecast track, the center of Gordon will move across the eastern Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday and will approach the north-central Gulf Coast within the warning area late Tuesday afternoon or evening and move inland over the lower Mississippi Valley late Tuesday and early Wednesday.
The storm is expected to rapidly weaken once it moves inland and then move towards the northwest.
Even though Gordon is a relatively small storm (its winds extend only 60 miles, mainly on the east side of the center), any changes to its projected path would alter possible impacts for south Louisiana. As an example, the NHC says Baton Rouge has about a 20 percent chance of seeing tropical storm-force winds, and New Orleans has double that, about a 40 percent chance. If the storm shifts west, the impacts will be greater; if its jogs east, impacts will lessen.

State of emergency declared by Louisiana Gov. Edwards
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards declared a state of emergency Monday afternoon as Tropical Storm Gordon churns in the Gulf of Mexico ahead of its expected arrival in southeast Louisiana.
The National Guard will send 200 guardsmen to southeast Louisiana Tuesday morning, along with high water vehicles, boats and helicopters to assist in preparations for the coming storm.
Edwards said the latest National Weather Service forecast has the storm's track moving slightly to the east. New Orleans and Baton Rouge are still in the storm forecast's possible track, but just to the west of where the storm is expected to hit. Still, the threat of severe weather continues in Louisiana.
"It is critically important to remember this storm has every possibility to track in our direction," Edwards said. "The storm is still a threat. No one should think we're out of the woods yet."
Gordon could possibly make landfall late Tuesday or Tuesday night as a Category 1 hurricane, the National Hurricane Center said Monday.
The latest projected path brings Gordon ashore somewhere along the Mississippi coast between the mouth of the Pearl River to the Alabama-Florida Border.
All of southeast Louisiana is under a tropical storm warning and a flash flood watch.
Impacts for the area will be heavy rain (possibly 4-7 inches of rain this week), higher-than-normal tides and tropical storm-force winds. Edwards said tropical storm force winds could arrive in southeast Louisiana as early as 2 p.m. Tuesday, hitting Plaquemines first.
Edwards urged Louisiana residents to update their emergency plans ahead of the storm, noting that additional updates will be posted at emergency.la.gov and the governor's website. Up-to-the-minute road conditions can also be seen at 511la.org as the storm moves in.
Edwards said the emergency response team will meet Tuesday morning at 11 a.m. for another briefing with a news conference to follow.
"Nobody should panic, but everyone should take this seriously," Edwards said.

City of New Orleans Monitoring Tropical Storm Gordon, Preparing for Heavy Rain
NEW ORLEANS - The City of New Orleans continues to monitor Tropical Storm Gordon, which is expected to impact the New Orleans area Tuesday evening through Wednesday with heavy rain, strong winds and higher than normal tides.
"The City of New Orleans is prepared," said Mayor LaToya Cantrell. "We continue to monitor the progress of Tropical Storm Gordon and are working with our City agencies and external partners to make sure that we are ready. I am urging all of our residents to monitor the weather forecasts, to stay informed, and to have a plan in place."
Heavy rain, high winds, and storm surge expected; voluntary evacuation of areas outside the levee issued
Tropical Storm Gordon is forecast to continue on a northwesterly track, impacting the northern Gulf Coast Tuesday evening through Wednesday. According to the National Weather Service, there is some potential for Gordon to attain hurricane strength before landfall. Although the forecast track has shifted slightly eastward today, New Orleans remains within the forecast cone, and residents should remain vigilant in preparing for this storm.
Heavy rainfall, high winds and storm surge outside levee protected areas continue to be the primary threats to the New Orleans area. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday. General accumulations of 3 to 7 inches in the next three days are expected, although locally higher amounts are possible if any bands set up over the city.
A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for Orleans Parish, with the potential for winds of 60 to 70 miles per hour (mph), mainly in gusts as rain bands move through the area. High winds can cause damage to unsecured property, snap or uproot trees, blow debris onto roads, and cause power and communications outages.
A Storm Surge Warning for areas outside the risk reduction system, with surge between 3 and 4 feet possible, is in effect. Because of the combined threat of existing coastal flooding and the increased surge from Gordon, the City urges residents outside the levee system to exercise extreme caution. At this time, the City is issuing a voluntary evacuation order only for areas outside the levee system, which includes Venetian Isles, Lake Catherine and Irish Bayou. As of now, the Flood Protection Authority does not anticipate closing the Highway 90 or Highway 11 floodgates.
City prepares for heavy rain, winds
The New Orleans Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness is activated working with our local, state and federal partners to monitor and prepare for potential impacts from this system.
The Sewerage & Water Board staff has begun holding regular meetings to prepare for the incoming weather. The drainage system has 116 out of 120 pumps available, with a 1,000 cubic-feet-per-second pump back online for emergency use at Drainage Pumping Station 13 in Algiers. The agency can produce more than 77 megawatts (MW) of 25 Hz power - more than what is needed to run the entire drainage system. Turbines 3, 4, 5 and 6 are available to provide power, and turbine 1 is available for emergency use. Crews are standing by, ready to operate every large pump station and to monitor automated stations and pumps at underpasses.
The Department of Public Works has and will continue to clean and unclog catch basins, as well as flush drain lines in flood-prone areas. To reduce risk of street flooding, do not park in front of or on a catch basin, and do not dispose of anything in a catch basin. Call 3-1-1 to report catch basins that are not fully functioning. Residents should avoid lifting a catch basin lid or inserting anything into a catch basin.
The New Orleans Police Department and New Orleans Fire Department have pre-staged barricades in flood-prone areas to prevent drivers from entering high water. Residents are reminded to never drive through flooded areas and to call 9-1-1 to report major flooding on the road. Motorists who drive faster than 5 mph on streets with standing water are subject to fines. A map of reported street flooding is available at streetwise.nola.gov. Additionally, NOPD will deploy high-water vehicles and boats to districts as needed.
The Real-Time Crime Center, which is staffed 24/7, utilizes the network of cameras citywide to provide situational awareness during severe weather to city leaders, emergency managers and first responders.

Flood Protection Authority begins gate closures
The Flood Protection Authority - East (FPA) continues to prepare for Tropical Storm Gordon. As of noon today, the FPA has closed 21 floodgates, 9 valve gates and the concrete barge gate on the Lake Borgne Surge Barrier. These gates are all in Orleans and St. Bernard parishes, primarily along the Industrial Canal and susceptible to high-tide conditions if not closed. The FPA will continue to close key Industrial Canal floodgates the rest of today.
The Bayou Bienvenue and Bayou Dupree floodgates are closed and will be closed throughout the duration of this tropical event. The Caernarvon Sector Gate is scheduled to remain open until Tuesday morning; it will likely be closed due to rising tides. Boaters are encouraged to consider Caernarvon for safe harbor until that point.
At this time, the FPA does not anticipate that the three Pump Stations and Closure Structures at Lake Pontchartrain will be activated, but it is prepared to do so if the forecast changes and water levels in Lake Pontchartrain reach key thresholds. The FPA has been coordinating with the New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board throughout the weekend for that possibility and will continue to do so through the event.
The FPA has activated the Emergency Operations Center and will be monitoring conditions around the clock until this storm passes.
Gate closure alerts will continue to be sent out via the FPA alert system, which citizens can sign up for by following the AlertSense signup link at https://www.floodauthority.org.

National Another Look Unlimited Day is observed annually on the day after Labor Day.
Are you feeling green? Have you collected more things around your house and need another "spring cleaning"? National Another Look Unlimited Day would be the perfect day. Spring cleaning meets Fall cleaning. It is a day dedicated to taking a look around your house and ridding it of the excess of things you have accumulated.
It's time to clear out the closets. Purge the attic. Donate toys and clothes. Tidy up, clean up and put to use those items that have a purpose!
Don't just trash it, though! May items have multiple uses. Repurpose an item that is no longer being used for its original job. Don't know how to use it? The internet probably has a solution. Old cribs have been repurposed into arts and crafts centers. Broken dressers into books shelves or wine racks. Your trash may be someone else's treasure. Donate or sell it so someone else can give it new life.
HAND-PICKED WINE MEETS HAND-CRAFTED FOOD:
COPPER VINE TO DEBUT WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2018
Copper Vine, the highly anticipated wine pub and restaurant by Brechtel Hospitality Group (BHG) and Chef Mike Brewer, will open to the public on Wednesday, September 5, 2018 at 1009 Poydras Street in New Orleans' Central Business District. The historic indoor/outdoor gathering place will offer a culinary and cultural experience aimed to demystify wine in a fun and relaxed setting.
Copper Vine is the brainchild of Kyle Brechtel, one of Gambit Weekly's "Top 40 under 40" and founder/President of BHG, which also owns Fulton Alley and Bonfire Catering. Like a fine grape during fermentation, the vision behind Copper Vine began to form after Brechtel visited dozens of wine bars around the country and realized many seemed intimidating and geared toward a specific audience. "I wanted to create an approachable neighborhood spot where friends could come drink great wine, eat incredible food and just hang out. Whether you're an amateur or expert; a wine lover or a cocktail enthusiast, Copper Vine has something for everyone." Brechtel built the concept based on the "pub" or "public house" philosophy - a relaxed, social establishment where friends and acquaintances gather to drink and/or enjoy a meal.
For the wine program at Copper Vine, Brechtel installed a state-of-the-art wine tap system which eliminates many of the problems that come with traditional bottle service such as oxidation, waste, speed of service, and cost. 30familiar varietals will be available on tap, available by-the-half-glass, glass, carafe and bottle. Wine flights will also be on offer, allowing guests to explore the many flavors and varietals. An additional 20 glasses poured viaCoravin, will reflect greater breadth and introduce lesser-known wines from around the world. The Coravin system will also allow guests to taste higher end wines that are not typically poured by-the-glass. Although the offerings are robust, Copper Vine seeks to make the wine ordering process accessible, easy, and fun for guests whether or not they know the difference between a Bordeaux or a Burgundy. Copper Vine will also feature 8 local beers on tap, as well as a selection of classic cocktails and premium spirits.
The food at Copper Vine will be equally enticing with a menu developed by Chef Mike Brewer who has worked for notable spots including Brennan's, Commander's Palace and his award-winning sandwich spot, The Sammich, where he took home the crown as the
2015 King of Louisiana Seafood. Each dish is designed with great consideration for the wine and reflects Brewer's creative interpretations of gastropub cuisine. Snacks ($4 and up) are perfect for sharing and include deviled eggs topped with jumbo lump Louisiana crab meat; beef carpaccio with Tabasco® pickled strawberries, pea shoots, snow peas and shaved radish; Murder Point oysters with pineapple-mint gelée, topped with Cajun caviar; and a daily selection of creative toasts. Flatbreads ($11 - $15) run the gamut from duck confit with bacon jam, goat cheese and micro arugula to escargot with shiitake mushrooms, house made bacon, pork trotter marinara, preserved lemon and charred onion. Soups & Salad ($6 - $16) will include a quail and boudin gumbo and roasted beets with honey whipped goat cheese and green beet pesto. Mains ($12 - $22) are next level with selections like crispy pork belly with braised collards, cornbread pudding, and mushroom demi; chicken fricassee with crawfish boil peanuts and boudin rice; gnocchi with citrus cream, mint and jumbo lump Louisiana crab meat; short rib with whipped parmesan, edamame and veal demi; and Cajun bouillabaisse - Redfish, crab, shrimp and sautéed vegetables in a seafood broth. Desserts offer a perfect ending to dinner with light but decadent flavors. Options include buttermilk pie with berry compote and Vietnamese coffee ice cream and goat cheesecake with basil ice cream.
Designed by New Orleans based Studio West Design & Architecture and Spackman Mossop Michaels Landscape Architects, the 175-seat, 4,000 square feet indoor/outdoor space honors the history of the landmarked building with an old New Orleans charm, but with a careful consideration for modern aesthetic.
Originally constructed in 1876 as the Maylie's residence and Maylie's Restaurant, the two-and-one-half-story Edwardian-style building is at once a tribute to the past and a vision of the future. Upon entering, guests are surrounded by a lush tropical courtyard, inspired by the wisteria vine that grew throughout Maylie's. Hanging ivy, ferns, and vines create an intimate feeling and offer respite from the hustle and bustle of Poydras. Relaxed bench seating, throw pillows, blue textured outdoor rugs, and elegant Danish inspired outdoor furniture create a unique space to unwind.
Inside, the vibe shifts to casual lounge gastropub. The original historic oak and marble bar serves as the focal point of the space, where 38 copper and tigerwood taps offer thirsty guests an array of wines and local craft beers. Saddle colored leather bar stools and antique mirrors complete the look. The airy and spacious dining room features a variety of seating options, from an eight-seat walnut communal table to banquettes and round high-tops. Curated local artwork and historic photographs and postcards adorn the walls, while hints of copper are found throughout the interior. Upstairs, the wrap-around balcony and light-filled dining rooms offer spectacular views of the city, as well as a variety of private dining options.
Copper Vine, located at 1009 Poydras Street in New Orleans' Central Business District, will open to the public on Wednesday, September 5, 2018. The restaurant will start with dinner only, 5PM-10PM Sunday - Thursday; 5PM - 11PM Friday and Saturday. Bar opens at 3PM daily. Lunch and weekend brunch to follow.

Agricola Baracchi with Antonio Molesini, Wednesday, September 12, 5:30-7:30PM If you've ever visited the charming hilltop village of Cortona in Tuscany, chances are you've had the wines of Agricola Baracchi. Famous throughout the region for their metodo classico sparkling wines made with Sangiovese and Trebbiano and full-bodied reds, the winery is located on a beautiful slope just east of Cortona with a wonderful view of the Valdichiana Valley. Riccardo Baracchi and his son Benedetto restored the property in hopes of continuing their family practice of grape growing and winemaking, a tradition that dates back to 1860. Silvia, the family matriarch, is a Michelin rated chef whose exquisite restaurant Il Falconiere is located on the estate, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. From awarding winning wines to award winning food and hospitality, their commitment to perfection is evident in everything they do. Native of Cortona and friend of Riccardo Baracchi, Antonio Molesini will host a flight of 4 wines from this exceptional estate. If you'd like a little something to snack on with your wine, resident cheesemonger Casey Foote will select and present a pairing plate ($10 with flight, $15 without the flight).

"This year, as the city celebrates the Tricentennial, Downriver Festival is a time for these cultures to come together once again, enjoying New Orleans' diverse influences with gumbo, live music, and panel discussions on the river's rich resources throughout the day."
Kinfolk Brass Band will start the day off with a second line, beginning in Jackson Square at 10:30 am and heading to New Orleans Jazz Museum "Without the Mississippi River, New Orleans as we know it just wouldn't exist," said Matt Hampsey, Supervisory Park Ranger of New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park.

Food vendors at this year's Downriver Festival include Casa Borrega, Cafe Carmo, Grannie's Cooking Pot, Queenie's Daiquiris, Van's Snoballs and Miss Linda's YakaMein aka "The YakaMein Lady."

"Restore the Mississippi River Delta Coalition is thrilled to be participating in Downriver Fest again this year. These panels are going to be engaging for a wide variety of audiences and we're looking forward to being a part of a busy, entertaining day", said Helen Rose Patterson, Greater New Orleans Outreach Coordinator for Restore the Mississippi River Delta Coalition.

City to Increase the Number of Waste Tires Accepted at the Recycling Drop-Off Center from Four to Five
NEW ORLEANS - In an effort to reduce the number of illegally abandoned waste tires, the City of New Orleans Department of Sanitation has increased the number of waste tires that will be accepted at the Recycling Drop-Off Center from four to five. The Recycling Drop-Off Center, located at 2829 Elysian Fields Ave., is open on the second and fourth Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Orleans Parish residents can drop off paper products (newspapers, junk mail, phone books, catalogs, office paper, color inserts); plastics #1 through #7 (water, soda, juice, detergent, plastic pots from nurseries, plastic bags, etc.); metals (aluminum, tin and steel cans); cardboard; box board (cereal boxes); Mardi Gras beads; batteries (AA, AAA, AAAA, C, D, 6 volt, 9 volt, Lithium); light bulbs (incandescent and fluorescent); and electronics such as computers, processors, monitors, keyboards, small printers, laptops, ink jet/toner cartridges, circuit boards, X-boxes, Playstations, Wii, MP3/DVD/CD players, DVRs, digital cameras, security systems, networking equipment, UPS, GPS, fax machines, stereos, telephones and phone systems, televisions (limit 4), microwave ovens (limit 4), tires (limit 5), glass (limit 50 lbs.) and organics for composting -- fruit/vegetable scraps (peels, skins, pits, or seeds), tea bags, coffee grounds and paper filter, eggshells, nutshells, seed shells, plain bread, grains, and plain pasta (no toppings, meet, bones, dairy or foods with oil).

The following companies provide their services free of charge as a service to the community:
Iron Mountain -- paper shredding and recycling
CACRC -- e-waste recycling
Republic Services -- single stream recycling
The Composting Network -- composting
Since the City established the Recycling Drop-Off Center in August 2010, a total of 1,193 tons have been recycled. Since the current curbside recycling program began in May 2011, a total of 48,822 tons have been recycled. As a result of the City's efforts since 2010 to appropriately dispose of waste tires illegally dumped and collected from residential properties, more than 214,966 waste tires have been transported to the only LDEQ-approved waste tire processor in the City. The tires collected are recycled.
Occupants of residential properties, which are eligible to receive solid waste collection by the City, are also eligible to place up to four (4) tires next to their garbage collection carts on the second collection day of each week (or on Wednesdays in the French Quarter and DDD). Businesses are not eligible for this service.
Residents are reminded that an ordinance was passed earlier this year (Sections 26-415 through 24-430 of the City Code), which established minimum standards for the storage, sale, repair, removal, installation, hauling and disposal of motor vehicle tires and established a stronger enforcement process with significant fines and penalties.
It is illegal to store more than 20 tires on a property without authorization from LDEQ as a registered Waste Tire Generator or to transport more than 20 tires without a permit from LDEQ, which must be prominently displayed on the vehicle transporting the tires. All tires must be covered to prevent standing water which could become breeding grounds for rodents and mosquitoes that could carry the West Nile or Zika viruses. All Waste Tire Generators must keep LDEQ-approved manifests on site, for a minimum of five years, which document that tires have been legally transported and disposed of by an LDEQ-permitted transporter and tire processor.
The Department of Sanitation is working the NOPD, the Department of Safety and Permits and the Department of Finance to ensure that all tire shops are in full compliance with City and State Codes. The owners of properties that are found not to be in compliance will be cited. As a result of a joint enforcement action involving LDEQ's Criminal Investigation Division and NOPD, arrests have been made for illegally transporting and disposing of tires in Orleans Parish.
City to Expand Recycling Drop-Off Program, Adds Second Drop-Off Day Each Month
NEW ORLEANS - Due to increased demand, starting in August, 2018, the City of New Orleans Department of Sanitation will add another day each month to its Recycling Drop-Off Center schedule.

If caterpillars are creeping and termites are swarming, it must be time for Audubon Nature Institute's 2018 season of "Wild Nights'' and "Insect Adventures.''
Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium is once again offering opportunities for up-close looks - during the day and after dark - at the amazing diversity of arthropods living among us.
"Ever wonder which marvelous moths and beautiful beetles are out and about at night,'' asks Zack Lemann, Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium's Animal and Visitor Programs Manager. "And what about the darting dragonflies and active ants that fly and crawl about during hot summer days? Then don't miss this chance to learn about all the fascinating bugs that inhabit south Louisiana.''
The insect safaris take place in Audubon Wilderness Park located at Freeport-McMoRan Audubon Species Survival Center in Lower Coast Algiers and Audubon Louisiana Nature Center in eastern New Orleans adjacent to Joe Brown Park.
Registration for "Insect Adventures'' includes an aerial net, while "Wild Nights'' guests receive a night headlamp and batteries. All participants receive a small insect collection kit and an exclusive "Wild Nights Insect Adventures'' collectible water bottle.
"Insect Adventures'' are held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., while "Wild Nights'' take place from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Meals are not provided.
The cost is $60 for Audubon members and $70 for non-members (plus sales taxes). Guests must be six years of age or older. The adult-to-child ratio is three children per adult.
