This NOAA satellite image taken Monday, Sept. 5, 2011 at 1:45 a.m. EDT shows widespread clouds from the Northeast through the Southeast as a Tropical Depression spins about 55 mile southwest of McComb, Mississippi and a strong cold fronts approaches the Eastern Seaboard. Maximum sustained winds near 35 mph and higher gusts spread ample tropical moisture northward across the Central Gulf Coast, fueling more soaking rains and thunderstorms in parts of the Southeast. This moisture also interacts with the cold front in the East and fuels numerous band of showers and heavy rainfall along and ahead of the front from parts of the Northeast through the Eastern Valleys. Elsewhere, Category 2 Hurricane Katia is located about 385 miles northeast of the northern Leeward Islands. Katia is moving toward the northwest near 13 mph with maximum sustained winds near 105 mph.

MIAMI (AP) ? Hurricane Katia has roared to a monstrous Category 4 storm as it moves across the Atlantic Ocean.
On Monday night, Katia's maximum sustained winds had increased to 135 mph (215 kph). Some strength fluctuations are expected before the storm slowly weakens.
Hurricane specialist Todd Kimberlain says it's looking less likely that Katia will hit land but that wind from the storm could still affect the U.S. East Coast as it moves north. Forecast maps show it veering to the northeast, away from the U.S. in the coming week.
Katia is centered about 450 miles (725 kilometers) south of Bermuda and is moving northwest near 10 mph (17 kph).
