LOUISIANA WEATHER - June 30, 2011

SPRING/SUMMER DROUGHT STATUS:
Due to a drier than normal winter coupled with a drier than normal spring, the latest weekly drought assessment from the National Weather Service shows all of Louisiana still in a drought condition. The projection through September calls for conditions to persist or intensify in the northern region of the State with some improvement projected for the central, southwest and southeast regions. Drought impacts are projected to ease in the extreme southeast region.

Temperatures: Today: 91/76, Thursday: 92/74, Friday: 91/73, Saturday: 93/73, Sunday: 93/74.
HAZARDOUS WEATHER: Numerous to widespread showers and thunderstorms will be possible again today across the entire outlook area with a few strong to severe storms likely. Thunderstorm activity will be greatest during the afternoon hours. The main concern from severe storms will be damaging winds and frequent to continuous lightning. In addition to strong severe storms, locally heavy rainfall will be possible with the heaviest rain likely occurring along and north of the I-10/12 corridor.

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected Thursday with scattered showers and thunderstorms possible each day Friday through the weekend. A few thunderstorms may be strong with gusty winds, frequent lightning and brief heavy downpours.

SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA: Today has a 70 percent chance for thunderstorms during the day decreasing to 30-40 percent in the evening continuing into Thursday. Friday has a 20 percent chance of thunderstorms during the day and partly cloudy in the evening. Saturday and Sunday are forecast to be mostly sunny and partly cloudy in the evenings.
Temperatures: Today: 90/77, Thursday: 92/75, Friday: 93/75, Saturday: 94/75, Sunday: 94/77.
HAZARDOUS WEATHER: An upper level disturbance, tropical like moisture and daytime heating will combine for widespread showers and thunderstorms. Some of the activity will produce moderate to locally heavy rainfall, frequent lightning and gusty winds. Rainfall amounts will average around 1/2 inch area wide, however local amounts between 1 to 2 inches will be possible. Despite the rainfall, overall rainfall deficits remain large and burn bans remain in place.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue on Thursday. Rain chances will decrease on Friday with mainly hot and dry conditions over the weekend into early next week.

CENTRAL LOUISIANA: Today has a 70 percent chance for thunderstorms during the day decreasing to 30-40 percent in the evenings continuing into Thursday. Friday and Saturday will see a 20 percent chance of thunderstorms during the day and partly cloudy in the evenings. Sunday is forecast to be mostly sunny and partly cloudy in the evening.
Temperatures: Today: 90/75, Thursday: 94/75, Friday: 94/73, Saturday: 96/74, Sunday: 96/76.
HAZARDOUS WEATHER: An upper level disturbance, tropical like moisture and daytime heating will allow combine for widespread showers and thunderstorms.

Rainfall amounts will average around 1/2 inch area wide, however local amounts between 1 to 2 inches will be possible. Despite the rainfall, overall rainfall deficits remain large and burn bans remain in place.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue on Thursday. Rain chances will decrease on Friday with mainly hot and dry conditions over the weekend into early next week.

NORTHERN LOUISIANA: Today has a 60 percent chance for thunderstorms during the day decreasing to 20 percent in the evening continuing into Thursday.

Temperatures: Today: 91/74, Thursday: 95/74, Friday: 92/72, Saturday: 95/75, Sunday: 97/76.
HAZARDOUS WEATHER: Numerous showers and thunderstorms will continue to overspread north Louisiana this morning, ahead of an upper level disturbance and remnant surface boundaries from earlier thunderstorms. Some of these storms may briefly become severe, given the stronger instability in place, with damaging winds possible. However, locally heavy rainfall will be the primary threat from the stronger storms, which may move repeatedly over the same areas which saw widespread two to in excess of five inches of rain Tuesday. Should thunderstorms occur, flash flooding will be possible, as the grounds are nearly saturated and additional heavy rainfall will run off. The heavy rainfall threat will diminish this afternoon with the passage of this upper level disturbance.

Isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible across the area Thursday, but thunderstorm coverage may increase Friday as an upper level disturbance drops southeast across the region. While there still remains some uncertainty if this will indeed occur, the air mass is expected to be unstable enough such that severe thunderstorms capable of producing damaging winds, large hail and locally heavy rainfall will be possible. Rain chances will diminish this weekend and next week, as a large ridge of high pressure builds east across the region. Thus, a return to the very hot conditions will ensue by the weekend.

Thus, the resultant heat indices will range from 105 to 109 degrees, with the highest heat indices expected to be over north-central Louisiana south and east of a Natchitoches to Ruston and Farmerville line. A heat advisory is in effect until 7 pm this evening for all of north Louisiana.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible Tuesday, as low level moisture increases from the Gulf of Mexico and an upper level disturbance approaches from the west. Brief heavy rainfall will be possible from the stronger storms, although redevelopment will be possible late Tuesday night and during the day Wednesday as another upper level disturbance focuses development along and ahead of a weak cold front that will drift into the region Wednesday afternoon. Some of these storms may produce brief heavy rainfall and locally gusty winds, but the threat for organized severe weather is low. These showers and thunderstorms will diminish Wednesday afternoon and evening, with the passing of the upper level disturbance.

LOUISIANA WEATHER - June 8, 2011

SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA: Today and Thursday will be mostly sunny during the day and hot with a 20-30 percent chance for isolated and scattered thunderstorms throughout the days. Friday through Sunday is forecast to be sunny and hot with partly cloudy skies in the evenings.
Temperatures: Today: 93/72, Thursday: 94/70, Friday: 95/72, Saturday: 95/71, Sunday: 96/72.
HAZARDOUS WEATHER: Scattered thunderstorms are once again expected to develop today. Areas along and north of the Interstate 10/12 corridor will see the highest chances of thunderstorm development. A few thunderstorms will have the potential to produce hail and strong wind gusts. These winds could down small tree limbs and blow around unsecured objects like trash cans and lawn furniture. Localized very heavy rainfall is also possible. An ozone action day is in effect for the Baton Rouge area through midnight tonight.

Isolated thunderstorms will be possible on Thursday. These thunderstorms should remain below severe limits, but could produce strong gusty winds and frequent lightning.

SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA: Today and Thursday will be mostly sunny during the day with a 20 percent chance for thunderstorms in the afternoons and partly cloudy evenings. Friday through Sunday is forecast to be mostly sunny and partly cloudy in the evenings.

HAZARDOUS WEATHER: Showers and thunderstorms will develop again this afternoon and continue into the evening as a weak easterly wave approaches the region. The stronger storms which develop could produce damaging winds and large hail. High temperatures this afternoon will be in the mid 90s across central Louisiana. Combined with the humidity, apparent temperatures will range from 100 to 103 degrees during peak heating. Individuals are urged to use extra caution when outdoors and drink plenty of fluids. Closer to the coast apparent temperatures will mainly be in the upper 90's and caution is urged in these areas as well.

Elevated fire danger will continue due to very dry ground fuels and low daytime relative humidity values. Burn bans are in effect for the entire state.

Showers and thunderstorms will be widely scattered at best on Thursday afternoon and evening before strengthening high pressure aloft will essentially cut off convective development through the remainder of the period.
