DISCUSSION
THE COLD FRONT REMAINS IN SOMEWHAT CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE REGION
THIS MORNING OVER THE NORTHERN GULF. THIS IS CAUSING SOME SHOWER
ACTIVITY OFFSHORE, HOWEVER, SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL CLIP THE
SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA PARISHES THROUGH THE MORNING AND PERHAPS
EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS BEFORE FINALLY CLEARING. MOST OF THE
NORTHERN TIER SHOULD MAINTAIN DRIER CONDITIONS THROUGH TUESDAY.
MIN RH VALUES WILL FALL INTO THE LOWER TO MID 30 PERCENT RANGE
ALONG AND NORTH OF THE 10/12 CORRIDOR TODAY AND TUESDAY WHILE
SOUTH OF I-10 HUMIDITY VALUES WILL LIKELY REMAIN IN THE 40 TO
NEAR 50 PERCENT RANGE AT THEIR DRIEST. AS FOR WINDS, AWAY FROM
THE IMMEDIATE COAST THEY SHOULD REMAIN BELOW 15 MPH SUSTAINED
WITH A FEW HIGHER GUSTS AT TIMES. ALONG THE COAST WINDS WILL BE A
LITTLE HIGHER. HOWEVER, DUE TO LACKLUSTER WINDS, RH VALUES AND
RECENT RAINFALL, THE OVERALL POTENTIAL FOR FIRE WEATHER WILL BE
LIMITED ACROSS THE REGION.
