July 2009 Archives
A front stalled around Shreveport will pull yet another disturbance through for today and tomorrow. This means extra clouds and extra rain chances through your Friday and Saturday (60% chance for today and 40% chance for tomorrow). Both days, with lots of moisture around, expect some heavy downpours, as well, with any thunderstorms that develop. By Sunday, the disturbance should begin its exit, so the later events of Satchmo Summerfest shou... Today, we'll continue with a relative lull in shower and thunderstorm activity as we remain in a break between disturbances. By afternoon, under a mix of clouds and sun and stifling humidity, we should reach into the lower and middle 90's with only a 30% chance of a shower or thunderstorm. Our next disturbance, though, will swing in for Friday and Saturday with an increased 50% chance of scattered rain and storms along with extra clouds. ...It's almost August, the beginning of the peak of hurricane season, and you could hear a pin drop across the tropics. With still no named storms yet for the year, its been unusually quiet this season. Forecasts of wind shear from El Nino, that wrecks any developing tropical disturbances, so far, have played out very well. If we can keep the continued wind shear in through the remainder of the season, chances are, we'll hold with our forecast... As a front remains stalled a few hundred miles to our north, rain and thunderstorms will again be drawn across Southeastern Louisiana today. With plenty of moisture to work with, any thunderstorms could produce heavy rain. The silver lining in the forecast: we do need the rain (defecits are running near a foot on the year) and with the extra clouds, temperatures will be held at or below average with highs 85 to around 90. ...A boundary close to the South will allow extra showers and storms to develop for the next couple of days. This means we'll see slightly higher than normal rain chances through Wednesday. Any shower or thunderstorm that develops will have plenty of moisture with it, so heavy rain and lightning will be likely. Carry the umbrellas daily this week...and get ready to soak up some much needed rainfall! ...A cold front that moved through the mid-Mississippi Valley is now stalling out a few hundred miles to our north. Juicy winds out of the Gulf of Mexico will continue to plow in ahead of the front in our neighborhood. With the front in place and the very sticky air flowing in, showers and thunderstorms will be a big part of the forecast today, tomorrow, and Wednesday. With lots of clouds, high temperatures will also be held down a bit in the ...

As the front holds in place, we'll keep generally the same weather pattern through midweek, ...Rain chances not that high over weekend. 20-30% with highs in the low to mid 90s. Rain chances will increase during the work week with thunderstorms more likely. Tropics quiet still.

This means a decrease in shower and storm coverage, only down to about a 20% chance for the last day of the workweek and first day of the weekend. Highs both days will hit the ...

Rain chances will be 30% Thursday & Friday, 40% Saturday & Sunday & Monday, and 50% Tuesday & Wednesday. Highs will be in the low 90s. ...Another cold front is rolling in from the north, but this one, unlike last weekend's front, will not pass through. Right now, the front is beginning to stall out just from about an Alexandria/Jackson, MS line. This will ensure plenty of humidity through the weekend and will also mean a return to showers and storms. Through the end of the workweek, expect a 30%-40% chance of showers and storms along with muggy highs around 90. ...Rain chances can be expected in the next 7days.

Paired with high humidity, temperatures should feel more like 100-110 degrees during the beginning of the workweek. The heat bubble will move back well into Texas again for the ... With a sprawl of high pressure over Texas providing extreme heat and highs near 100 degrees just to our west, temperatures will again get well into the 90's in our neighborhood for the second half of the weekend into the new workweek. Heat here, though, will not be nearly as high, nor as persistent as just a few hundred miles away. As we remain on the eastern edge of the very hot airmass through the end of the weekend, we may get in on a dis... High temperatures will be in the mid 90s over the weekend. Any relief with rain will be a 20% chance for isolated showers or thunderstorms. The heat index will be from 100-110. Tropics continue to be quiet. With El Nino now in place, stronger wind shear in the Atlantic Basin may help to keep this hurricane season from being above average. ...
The CPC (Climate Prediction Center) has declared officially that El Nino has developed in the Pacific Waters. What does this mean for us? Well, hopefully a continued quiet tropical season. El Nino years tend to have lower numbers of storms. This would make sense, as we haven't seen a named storm yet in the Atlantic. El Nino conditions keep vertical wind shear high in the Caribbean, and that destroys any tropical waves that try to develop. ...

Although the front is stalled miles away from us, it has moved near enough to squelch the big bubble of extreme heat that we've seen over us the past couple of weeks.

Scattered showers and storms are expected to develop this week, changing our current weather pattern. That means more afternoon storms, and lower temps. Don't forget the umbrellas this week! ...
