Raining Buckets Here With Soon-to-Be-Lee TD13 Bands Spinning Onshore
How about a little light reading out from the NWS New Orleans area Forecast Discussion-
LONG TERM…
GOING TO BE A WHILE BEFORE WE GET RID OF OUR TROPICAL SYSTEM.
STEERING WINDS AND FORCING IS VERY WEAK THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS. BUT AS IT DOES MOVE INLAND IT BECOMES MORE BAROCLINIC AND
EVEN DEVELOPS FRONTOGENESIS TO ITS SOUTH. THIS SHOULD HELP DRY THE
AREA OUT BY MID NEXT WEEK. THIS WHOLE SYSTEM WILL THEN BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR PICKING UP THE NEXT MAJOR HURRICANE THAT IS NOT
LOOKING TOO FRIENDLY TO THE EAST COAST. HOPE THIS THING TURNS INTO
THE UPPER TROUGH WELL OFFSHORE. BECAUSE INSTEAD OF SKIRTING LAND
LIKE IRENE ON ITS NORTHWARD JOURNEY…THIS ONE IS MAKING A B-LINE
FOR THE EAST COAST WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW IT TO WEAKEN MUCH BEFORE SUPPOSEDLY
TURNING.
Barf.

A few sprinkles here but nothing major … yet.
What a sucky Labor Day Weekend Forecast!!! Just stay safe!
How’s the supply of Vienna sausages and beer?
Boy, frickin’ biblical downtown Bangla-cola right now.
Got my beer and chips and dip…I’m set. And hoping for just enough rain to cancel school on Tuesday…I feel like a four-day weekend, instead of just three.
Hope Mortimer steers clear of that baroclinic and frontogenesis stuff.
“Not looking too friendly to the East Coast”? What does that mean? It’s frowning at us?
I hope all of you in the path will be safe!
