Northern Gulf Coast air temps

#1 Postby **dhweather** » Mon May 23, 2005 1:43 pm

I know the Louisiana contingent is reporting 90's, and we're heating up
a lot today as well - 92.1 with 102.9 heat index.

Those SST's are gonna rise fast at this rate.

We're not too far off the average highs, according to this:

Yes, as long as we continue to have this kind of air temps along the N GOM coast, the water temps will be coming up also rather quickly. This air mass is not just over land, but is out over at least the Western GOM also.

No doubt - SST's will be rising quickly over the GOM. The images for SST
should really begin to light up within the next week or so, provided the heat keeps up.

LaBreeze - where are you near, Lafayette?

The folks more inland than we are have been cooking as well, mid to upper 90's daily under this current spell.

Oh, so you are South of I-10?! And it's that warm over there? Wow!!!

LaBreeze · #11 Postby **LaBreeze** » Mon May 23, 2005 2:35 pm

Yep - south of I-10 and the temp has just risen to 98.2 degrees. Heat index is still at 104. Like I said - "roast on the coast." :onfire:

We're roasting - 93.4/104.2 now, and still rising!

Looks like we're the cool spot this afternoon at 93.2 degrees / with a "feels like" of 98.

The afternoon is young...I think we'll go above 94 before it starts to drop. Our low at the house last night was 77. Hard to believe we were in the forties at night just a little over two weeks ago.

Great, I'm going to be stomping around in the Quarter tomorrow with the parental units, cursing them for not coming down in say, April, when a person is able to step outside without getting an instant sweatbath. :grrr:

Why can't we get in on this heat? So far its been about average to slightly below average, 84-86ish. Quite pleasant out. I really want it to get HOT out so it'll feel more like summer. That hasn't happened yet this year. Im waiting for those mid-90's(wouldnt mind upper 90's like we had in 98).

#19 Postby **dhweather** » Mon May 23, 2005 3:55 pm

We're up to a toasty 94.5/104.9 - woohoo!

This is officially, by 4 degrees, the highest temp this year.
