Dry and gusty day today. Winds gusted above 40 mph around 3 PM. Dewpoints in the teens for much of the day and a high of 57F.
DISCUSSION...
HIGHLY AMPLIFIED PATTERN ACROSS THE CONUS...WITH A DEEP ERN TROF
HELPING TO DRAW A COOL AND VERY DRY CONTINENTAL AIRMASS INTO THE
REGION. DEEPLY MIXED DAYTIME BOUNDARY LAYER HAS RESULTED IN BRISK
NORTHWEST WINDS...WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS 45 MPH...AND SFC DEWPOINTS
IN THE TEENS ACROSS THE AREA.
FOR TONIGHT...WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO RELAX INLAND WITH DIURNAL
DECOUPLING...BUT ENOUGH MIXING WILL CONTINUE TO PREVENT MUCH OF A
RECOVERY TO SFC DEWPOINTS. THIS SHOULD ALSO ASSIST IN HOLDING
TEMPERATURES UP A BIT...AND KEPT LOWS TWD THE WARMER END OF THE
GUIDANCE ENVELOPE. TOMORROW LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER SUNNY AND MILD
DAY...WITH WINDS NOT AS STRONG AS TODAY BUT STILL A BIT ON THE
BREEZY SIDE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS EAST AND SOUTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA.
IT APPEARS THEY WILL REMAIN JUST SHY OF ADVISORY CRITERIA. THE
PERSISTENT OFFSHORE FLOW ALSO GIVES RISE TO LOW WATER
CONCERNS...AS TIDE LEVELS AT THE TIME OF LOW TIDE TODAY AT SABINE
AND CALCASIEU PASSES FELL BELOW -1 FT MLLW. A REPEAT IS POSSIBLE
TOMORROW...BUT FOR NOW WILL HOLD OFF AND LET SUBSEQUENT SHIFTS
FURTHER EVALUATE.

A low of 45 F? Oh boy, I can't wait. That'll set an new all-time record low.
A stunning 7F below average!
Upper 50's here, it seems. Whoopee
As I said above NWS already, despite generally being conservative with their forecasts, has 53F posted. Which, despite being nothing out of the norm in comfortable and appreciably below average.
Those temps are nothing special or unusual for the South, with the exception of the temperature in the mountains and most of NC is appreciably cold as well.
