Anyone Knowing the Latest???

[CYCLONE MIKE]

Live here in SE LA, just got home a little while ago from church and Christmas Eve at the parents. Been reading all of the amazing posts and winter weather advisories/warnings that are up. What are the latest developments for the models and storm system? Is it getting stronger/more organized? Checked out the NWS radar sites for south LA and shows plume of moisture working NE out of the gulf headed straight for us and Mississippi. No type of advisories or watches though. Just for SW LA. Can we over in SE/South Cent. LA expect to see advisories posted later overnight as well? I just can't see how we will miss the action as it moves off the Texas coast later.

Look at the Lake Charles and Houston NWS radars. Look at the amount of moisture trying to work its way into LA. This has got to start reaching the lower levels pretty soon.

It takes all the enjoyment out of preparing because you don't believe it until its happening down here.
