11/7 – Trey’s “Election Night ” Tuesday Night Forecast

We've been discussing a front, with upper flow nearly parallel to the front
by the time it reaches the local area, it won`t be moving very
quickly and is forecast to stall as it reaches the coast, though
the specifics of exactly where the front will eventually hang up
remain to be seen. Regardless of where it hangs up, though, it
does not look like we`ll see any significant drought relief as even in
the wetter solutions, the bulk of the rain is shunted to our west or
over the Gulf. Current forecast calls for the front to make it
basically to the coast, with some slight cooling through the weekend
and start of next week. However, as has been mentioned for the last
several forecast cycles, the details could change substantially
depending on exactly where the front eventually slows to a crawl and
stalls.

Tuesday Night: Earlier this evening I listed several focus areas and
hazards that the National Weather Service has outlined for Tuesday night.
Those are re-listed below.

1. Dense fog will develop across portions of southeast LA and
southern MS on Wednesday morning. Smoke from the marsh fire in New
Orleans East could reduce visibility to less than 100 feet across
small portions of East Orleans and St. Tammany Parish during
morning commute hours.

2. Dense fog development will remain possible on Thursday morning
across southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi.

Patchy fog across the river valleys this morning gave way to ample
sunshine and values that continue to show an abundance of moisture
returning to our area due to increasing southerly winds today. High
pressure is now centered off to the east allowing for moist
patchy fog across river valleys.

As always: A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition.
Be nice to each other.
