The tropical disturbance over the weather Gulf remains disorganized with a low level center inland NW of Brownsville with a mid level swirl about 100 miles SE over the Gulf. What is obvious on satellite loops is the strong upper level WSW wind flow over the northern Gulf. NHC keeps lowering the probability for Barry to form with their latest giving it only a 20% chance for development. What is coming is much needed rainfall to SE LA/MS. We had a shower over City Park this afternoon and I expect even more around on Wednesday with Thursday having the highest rain chances. With increased clouds and showers, look for temps to stay mainly below 90. Somewhat drier air filters in for Saturday and Sunday before another upper disturbance increases rain chances on Monday.
While golfing at City Park this afternoon, I saw a disturbing scene. 3 golf carts took shelter under a large oak tree during a brief downpour. While there was no thunder, I guess they felt safe from getting wet. I remember several years back, a couple of golfers took shelter under a tree. There wasn't much lightning until a bolt came crashing down into the tree they were under. They both died. It's a simple lesson. NEVER seek shelter under large/tall trees when it's raining. When thunder roars, go indoors or at least head to the nearest shelter. You don't need to be afraid of lightning, but you must respect it. Stay tuned!
