Last Gasp of spring along the Gulf coast.
Posted: Mon May 03, 2004 1:25 am
Currently at this late hour of 2am it's down to 49 degrees in Lafayette according to weatherbug. I can't remember the last time we hit the 40's in may. According to the Lake Charles discussion we could set some records tonight:
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAKE CHARLES LA
955 PM CDT SUN MAY 2 2004
.DISCUSSION...CLEAR SKIES ACROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING WITH TEMPS
DOWN INTO THE MID 50S AT LCH. A WEAK FRONT OVER NE TEXAS IS EXPECTED
TO SWING DOWN INTO OUR REGION BEFORE WASHING-OUT WITH HIGH PRESSURE
EXPECTED TO BRIDGE FROM THE GREAT LAKES REGION DOWN INTO DEEP SOUTH
TEXAS BY MONDAY AFTERNOON.
WOW...TEMPS MAY SET A FEW RECORDS TONIGHT AS THEY WILL BE ON THE
COOL SIDE FOR EARLY MAY...UPPER 40S FOR CENTRAL LOUISIANA AND NEAR
50 ELSEWHERE. THIS IS ABOUT TEN DEGREES COOLER THAN NORMAL 30 YEAR
CLIMATE AVERAGES. RECORDS AROUND THE AREA ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE
WITH LCH RECORDING 45 BACK IN 1929. AEX...49 SET BACK IN 1976...LFT
42 SET BACK IN 1929...AND BPT 50 SET BACK IN 1945. RECORDS STARTED A
BIT LATER FOR AEX ANDS BPT AS THE 1929 COLD SNAP WOULD HAVE PROBABLY
SET RECORDS IN BOTH OF THESE LOCATIONS.
THE REST OF THE WEEK WILL SEE MORNING LOWS AND AFTERNOON HIGHS
SLOWLY CLIMB BACK TO SEASONAL AVERAGES AROUND MID-WEEK. NO RAIN IN
THE FORECAST FOR THIS WEEK.
The Houston office states the fact that this is probably the last cool spell we'll have this spring before summer starts with all the heat and humidity. Highs in the 70's tomorrow/lows in the 40's with sunny skies doesn't happen too often in May so we should definately enjoy it.

A VERY PLEASANT NIGHT ACROSS SE TX WITH CLEAR SKIES AND COOL DRY

BRUSH CWA ON MONDAY AND HELP REINFORCE THE DRY CONDITIONS. DEWPOINTS
WILL COME UP A LITTLE OVERNIGHT DUE TO THE WET GROUND CONDITIONS.
FOR THE MARINE...WILL LIKELY DROP HEADLINES FOR THE WATERS AT THE
UPDATE. NO FORECAST CHANGES ANTICIPATED FOR ZFP OR OTHER PRODUCTS.
ENJOY THE WEATHER BECAUSE WE WON'T SEE TOO MANY MORE DAYS LIKE THIS!
