March 2008 ArchivesIt's another muggy morning, with temperatures in the 60s, and dewpoints in the 60s as well! Feels more like summer than the last day of March. We'll look ahead to Tuesday for rain chances, as a front sags southward. Right now chances remain at 50%, and some of the storms could be on the strong side. More heat and humidity for this week, and temps stay in the upper 70s/low 80s and dewpoints remain high as well. ...After just scattered showers and storms on Saturday that put over an inch of rain in isolated spots and almost nothing in others, sunshine has returned for Sunday. Therefore, we still sit at a yearly rainfall deficit of almost 8.00" over at Louis Armstrong International Airport. On the bright side, weather to wrap up the PGA championship round at the TPC has been a little breezy, but rain-free and just plain warm and humid. ...
Tuesday look for a better chance for showers or thunderstorms. ...This afternoon we've been seeing pop-up showers and storms across SE LA. Expect a few passing showers through the evening, with the activity wrapping up later tonight. Even if you don't see rain today, the clouds will be hanging around, and it will feel muggy with dewpoints in the 60s. Expect a slightly drier day tomorrow, with only a 20% chance for a shower in the afternoon. Highs should once again be near 80. ...Rain has been minimal for the past several weeks, and the dry pattern looks to continue. We have minor rain chances on Saturday, at 30% for a spotty shower, and then again next Tuesday we may see a shower or two. We need it too: we have been very dry this year. Here are some of our stats: March precip: 1.85" 2008 precip: 8.04" With a high pressure system off to our East, a Southeasterly flow has settled in across the Gulf Coast. With winds pumping in from the Southeast, humidity will be on the rise the next several days. Temperatures will also hover around 80 degrees for the afternoon highs. Saturday, a frontal system will move closer to us, and then remain stationary. This will allow showers and possibly thunderstorms to fire up along that boundary. Currently the c... With lots of sun and 70's on the way, we'll see great contidions for the Pro-Am at the Tournament Players Club today. Tomorrow, as humidity increases, it will feel a bit more summery, but will still be rain-free for Round 1 of play. We'll only see a small shower or thunderstorm chance for Round 2 on Friday with muggy conditions. The last rounds are most at risk....

It used to run from April to October. Anyway, the gist of the entire government pol...
