Though a few light showers have been meandering across the area this afternoon, no relief from this latest rain shortage has come. Tomorrow will be no different, by skies will clear. Highs will be in the mid 80s.
Friday will bring our last chance of rain for a while. I have put a 40% chance of showers/storms in for Friday afternoon and evening. This could bring some relief, but not as much as we need to stop this latest dry streak.
Then we will have another dry period through at least Tuesday. Temps will rebound into the upper 80s to lower 90s. It will be very dry with not much humidity.
Wednesday may be dry and even hotter, but it all depends on the track of Gustav. We could have some very beneficial rains, or it could just be hot and dry some
more...
Speaking of Gustav, it is now a tropical storm with winds of 50mph. It has gotten stuck over Haiti and Hispanola, and is moving at a mere 3mph. It should gain speed, and regain hurricane strength by sometime tomorrow. The forecast from the NHC is this...
They predict a landfall on the gulf coast between Louisiana and the panhandle of Florida. The NHC is currently predicting winds of 115mph as it hits land on Labor Day.
One note, no major evacuations are taken place yet on the Gulf Coast. The LSU football team will still open it's season vs. Appalachian State at 5pm Saturday on ESPN.
