Seventy percent of the Gulf of Mexico shoreline is vulnerable to extreme erosion during even the weakest hurricanes, according to a new report by the U.S. Geological Survey released just prior to the start of the 2012 hurricane season.

USGS scientists used state-of-the-art modeling to determine the probabilities of erosion, overwash and inundation during direct hurricane landfall for sandy beaches along the entire U.S. Gulf Coast shoreline.

Moderate GU rains in the south and parts of Northwest

Moderate rains ranging from 20 to 40 millimeters (mm) were received in most of the southern and parts of the northwestern regions (Figure 1).However, with the exception of pockets in Bari and Nugal regions, most of the Northeast received light showers or remained dry during the third dekad of April (21‐30).
