In my 37 Summers living in New Orleans, I cannot remember this many (3) cold fronts pushing off our coast during the month of July. The latest should be by before daybreak with much less humid air flowing in throughout the day. July cold fronts aren't really cold, just less humid behind them which should result in cooler morning lows for Wednesday. Later this week, we will return to the daily summer T-Storm pattern with slow moving storms producing briefly heavy rains with possible street flooding.
Out in the Atlantic, satellite loops show a well defined circulation that NHC is giving a 70% chance of becoming Bertha maybe as soon as Tuesday. Most computer models curve this system northward before threatening the U.S. east coast, however, it is far too soon to say we don't need to worry about it. What I can say is this...IF Bertha goes into the Caribbean south of Puerto Rico & survives the mountains of Haiti/Dom. Rep., then we'll need to pay closer attention NEXT WEEK, not this week. Bottom line, we have many days to track & watch whatever forms. The predicted El Nino that was supposed to form & create shearing winds has backed off the past couple of weeks. Stay tuned!
