re: Major Louisiana Flood Event

Yes just got home about an hour ago. Drove 60mph the whole way from ruston just to be safe.

60mph because of the rain? What route home did you take?

I'm not 100% sure, but the video starts off by saying that it is Golden Meadow

That can't be the Golden Meadow, La. by Grand Isle.

Mile marker 166 on 167 South is flooded and shut down both ways... Now what

So is this system going to wrap around and hit us again tomorrow/sat? Where is the rest of this system coming from?

It's not a cold front, so don't think about it that way.

There's a big arse upper low over Mexico. Little pieces of energy travel around the low and get pushed north on the east side of it. SELA is in position to catch all that energy (rain). So it'll fire back over the same area into the low over Mexico moves out.

Alright so I'm a little confused at the forecast for rain tomorrow/saturday. Just by looking at the radar it looks like the giant line of t-storms will be done in Laffy shortly, in BR by nightfall, Nola overnight. So is this system going to wrap around and hit us again tomorrow/sat? Where is the rest of this system coming from?

The actual driving force for all this is a -10 standard deviation low sitting down over Mexico. There is a high pressure off to the east and the two are working together to point a fire hose of moisture towards Louisiana. Waves of energy in the jet stream are circling the baae of the low and kicking out over Texas and Louisiana. Each wave sets off a round of storms. What happens to those storms depends on a lot of small things that can't be forecasted well.

So even as this current batch of storms moves through the ingredients are coming together for another one later on and so on. This will repeat until the low finally lifts out towards the Plains.
