3 years ago we tied the March 10th record high of 82. However, 2 weeks later, a late season Arctic outbreak bring Kenner down to 38 with Slidell hitting freezing at 32. Why do I bring that up? Because long range computer models bring a deep East Coast upper trough back next week and that could change us from record warmth to record cold. Stayed turned for updates, but don't put away the coats & sweaters just yet. What we need before we turn cold is a good widespread soaking rain and that could happen here over the weekend.
While doing my therapy for my rotator cuff surgery this morning, a fella asked me what I thought about this upcoming Hurricane Season. HURRICANES? HURRICANES? At 61+, it's difficult enough to endure 5-6 months of stress/pressure from those tropical systems. I don't even think about Hurricane Season until I attend the National Hurricane Conference in April. This year it's in Austin, Texas. Yea, I know...Austin? Austin? Go figure! Too soon to look that far ahead.

haha I was talking about that outbreak on GCWX...
Is the Outbreak you are refering to the event when we had sleet right after the Crescent City Classic in 2007?
Anyway that trough looks like it will be strong enough to make things miserably cold again down to the Gulf Coast.
Perhaps a freeze or too?
Heck! The 18z GFS brings us snow in 12 days although its not likley.
This winter has been so predictable...
Trough in the East, Ridge in the West, Then Zonal, Then Ridge in the East, and Trough in the West.
Then that Cycle has been repeating itself over and over again.
What a winter it has been!
Apparently its not over either...
Till Next Time,

I sure hope Hurricane Season isn't that easily predictable...
Looking forward to these Spring Cold Fronts....
