It is much more like June now. The humidity is very low. It is fairly hot outside & umm in too

Comparison of Two Local Weather History Sources

Sometimes the first source is much different than the second. In all fairness to both, the data on top is updated more often than the 20 min automatic interval on the bottom. But... from my own observations the wind measurements from the top one almost always are much lower than the bottom one. Perhaps trees blocking the PWS wind gauge somewhere on a lonely cul de sac.

It was more like a normal day in May for a change. Temps started warming up slowly and the sun-filled sky did manage to raise the surface air 25°F by mid afternoon. A perfect day for sun tanning outside(with 30 Sunblock of course).

Stickyness Factor

It rained 0.08 inches of rain in one hour today(Tuesday May 26) between 9 and 10 AM

*May 29, 2009 Update*

Area forecast discussion
National Weather Service Shreveport la
516 am CDT Friday may 29 2009

High pressure on the surface building into the four state region
along with a blocking high across the western states will continue
providing the area with a dry weather pattern through the weekend and
into the first half of next week. Cloud cover will affect parts of
the region as some moisture wraps around the back side of a middle
level trough moving across the area this morning along with some
high cirrus blowoff from a complex of storms over central Texas
near the base of the upper trough.

Understand???

The High Pressure Area is now the weathermaker. Cold Front is way down south into the Gulf of Mexico.

10.35 inches | 263 millimeters of Rain in the last 48 hours.

So.. yes we have a Flash Flood Warning! One side effect is that the needless passenger trucks are not cruising around as much wasting gas with their low mileage vehicles. Will they ever learn?

*Update 050909*
Overnight another Tornado Watch was issued. It expired at 6 AM. No rain fell, and no strong winds, no nothing. Today's NWS Prediction of NE Winds seems to be good. "You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows" - Bob Dylan
