For most of my 41 years here in NOLA, there have been only 2 seasons...Hurricane Season & Saint's Season. Finally football has arrived so perhaps we can take our minds off the heat & humidity and focus on what really matters...The Super Bowl! Let the games begin.
There really isn't much different to talk about today. A flair up of clouds over the western Caribbean with a low level swirl over land in Belize. Well north of Puerto Rico is another cluster that is connected to an upper level low while nothing is out over the Atlantic back to Africa. Most models show no development for the next 10-14 days, however, the GFS is hinting something might surge off the Yucatan into the western Gulf around Aug. 25th. RIGHT NOW, I see nothing that might indicate the switch to on is coming for tropical development.
For this weekend, the upper high has shifted to just east of Dallas and that is keeping our rain chances below normal resulting in a heat advisory to be issued by NWS. That doesn't mean much to us since we have been acclimated to this summer heat since the end of May. Stay hydrated, wear a hat and apply plenty of sunscreen are the usual common sense precautions to take. Stay tuned and go Saints on Ch. 8 at 7 PM. Who Dat!
