The last time we received over an inch of rain during a 24 hour period was back in SEPTEMBER! Our rainfall deficit for the year is now over 9”, but some relief is coming…if you can believe the computer models. The season’s first Gulf Low is forecasted to form along the upper Texas coast on Friday and quickly move across SE LA/MS Friday evening into early on Saturday. Rainfall totals are projected to be 1-3”+, easily the most in many months. There is a small potential for strong storms Friday evening as the low moves through. Cooler and drier air returns for Saturday & Sunday. Looking into next week, another cold front will bring some showers on Tuesday with colder air coming behind it for Christmas Eve & Christmas Day. Alas, no snow is predicted here, but Santa will find a way to make kids happy as he does every year. Ho Ho Ho ! Stay tuned!

Looking back over the past two months December has been a mild month compared to November. Even with some cold air this month, its more our average temps, doesn't last long and not frigid air.
Will January see the same mild cold weather or is that arctic air up North coming down when Santa finds his way to us?
Merry Christ to you and your Family Bob and to all the WVUE staff..
Hey Bob!
Just curious, I just saw the latest GFS 0z run and it shows the rain/snow coming down even below New Orleans on the night before Christmas Eve... with moisture not too far away... hmmm.. even looks like flurries for parts of MS Christmas Eve??... Is that a sign of things to come this Jan and Feb? :-)
meant to say rain/snow LINE... it doesn't actually show snow forming in SE LA. LOL
