...EXTREMELY COLD TEMPERATURES WILL IMPACT THE AREA TONIGHT AND
TOMORROW MORNING...
EXTREMELY COLD TEMPERATURES THAT ARE WELL BELOW FREEZING WILL BE
IN PLACE FOR SEVERAL HOURS TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING. LOWS
WILL FALL INTO THE UPPER TEENS AND LOWER 20S NORTH OF THE I-10
CORRIDOR AND THE MID 20S SOUTH OF THE I-10 CORRIDOR FOR SEVERAL
HOURS TONIGHT. WIND CHILLS WILL FALL INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS NORTH
OF THE I-10 CORRIDOR AND THE TEENS SOUTH OF THE I-10 CORRIDOR LATE
TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING. THESE EXTREMELY COLD TEMPERATURES
ARE THE PRIMARY THREAT FOR TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING.
A SECONDARY AND MUCH LESS LIKELY CONCERN WILL BE ANY BLACK ICE
FORMING ON ELEVATED ROADWAYS. RAINFALL WILL BE COMING TO AN END
ON THE MISSISSIPPI AND LOUISIANA COASTS BY 4 PM. STRONG NORTHWEST
WINDS OF 15 TO 20 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 25 MPH WILL HELP TO DRY OFF
THE ROADS BEFORE THE BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES SET IN. HOWEVER,
AREAS NORTH AND WEST OF A BATON ROUGE TO GREENSBURG TO MCCOMB LINE
SAW FREEZING RAIN OCCUR EARLIER TODAY. THIS IS THE ONLY AREA
WHERE ICE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CONCERN ON ELEVATED ROADWAYS AND
BRIDGES THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING. A REVIEW OF SOIL TEMPERATURE
OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT GROUND TEMPERATURES REPORTED IN THE
AREA REMAIN IN THE UPPER 50S AND LOWER 60S THIS AFTERNOON, SO EVEN
IN AREAS THAT EXPERIENCED FREEZING RAIN TODAY THERE WAS NO ICE
ACCUMULATION ON THE GROUND OR NON-ELEVATED ROADWAYS.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT FOR AREAS INCLUDING METRO NEW ORLEANS,
SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PARTS OF METRO BATON ROUGE, THE NORTHSHORE,
COASTAL MISSISSIPPI, AND COASTAL LOUISIANA, BLACK ICE IS NOT A
MAJOR CONCERN GIVEN THE EXPECTED DRY ROAD CONDITIONS AND WARM
GROUND TEMPERATURES. FOR NORTHERN METRO BATON ROUGE AND AREAS OF
SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI TO THE WEST OF I-55, LINGERING ICE WILL BE A
CONCERN ON ELEVATED ROADWAYS AND BRIDGES THROUGH TOMORROW
MORNING.
