I don't think there were too many complaints regarding the past 2 days despite the fact we remain below our long term normals/averages. Satuday and Sunday look to be equally as nice, even a few degrees warmer. Next week looks mild and unsettled at times.
Since there isn't much to talk about, reading today's papers reminds me of the media bias regarding global warming. IF there is any article (peer reviewed) in any scientific journal "proving" global warming, we will see it with a bold headline. In today's Times-Picayune buried on page 9 was "Methane rises as new threat". If it isn't CO2, the article gets buried. Same story in the USA TODAY made page 3. Buried on page 5 was a story..."Ships, Passenger Ferry stuck in Baltic Sea Ice." Remember last week's story about the big iceberg breaking off in Antarctica? What you didn't hear is the ice pack over the rest of the continent is at its greatest ever. Ya, it's pick & choose. Whatever supports the "real" truth.

Why not start your own newspaper..
That stretch of sunny skies and comfortable temperatures that we expired for the past couple of days will come to today. We are now on the eastern side of High Pressure system's axis that brought us the lovely weather and this will allow moisture to begin to work into our area beginning today. For today, we will see mostly high clouds, and they will thicken as the day goes on. Thanks to Warm Air Advection, Highs will likely reach near 70F. We look to stay dry until around mid-night tonight when widespread showers begin to break out as the eastern fringes of the ridge move out of our area.
Tuesday will be wet day thanks to a large upper level low that will be developing over the central part of the Country. Widespread Showers and Thunderstorms will be moving though the area throughout the day. I can't rule out one or two becoming strong with the main threats being strong winds and small hail. The threat for showers and Thunderstorms will continue into Tuesday Night into Wednesday.
Wednesday Afternoon into Wednesday Night is when our greatest risk for Severe Weather will be due to increasing wind shear and instability. This will lead to the development of a few Super Cells across SE LA. These Super Cells will be capable of producing damaging winds, large hail, and I wouldn't be surprised if a weak tornado was reported somewhere across the area. Heavy Rain will also be an issue with this upcoming event, rainfall totals for Tuesday and Wednesday will end up being in the 1-3 inch range with some areas ending up getting 4 inches of rain.
Thursday morning, Northwest Flow will advect drier air into the area and this will put an end to the rain for a couple of days. Thursday should be mostly cloudy; however, we should clear out for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. As far as temperatures go, we will go back to slightly below average but it will not be cold.

Bob,
Your comments about stuff being buried like the methane article, which actually says that it's more of a problem than CO2,reminded me of an article in yesterday's paper.
In Sunday's Picky (on Page A-14) there was an article about the "growing ocean dead zones". Supposedly, according to "scientists" they are occurring more than in the past and "could" be linked to global warming. They are saying that warmer water depletes the oxygen. There's more mumbo jumbo there, but towards the end of the article it states that the "time frame is too short to know whether it is a trend or a weather phenomenon".
Does that sound like a load of something to you? You know, the stuff that they keep throwing against the wall to see if it sticks. But the AGW alarmists can pack that away in their bag of "stuff" that they can blame global warming on. And they know that their dedicated followers will buy into it.
