Coming down hard in Laffy

Through 7am?

That is going to make for a dicey call on having school tomorrow.

When there's a warning box of a West to East storm, the far East side of it ends at 7am. It'll be long gone from SE LA by then.

I've always found it odd how storms all seem to dissipate near Baton Rouge. I suspected it was the chemical plants but never looked it up until now.

The real reason is that the Indian Mounds are an ancient Native American weather control device.

Check out the warm front on my system.

I told you it was coming, baw.

That was in April 2015. I’ll never forget that, that shite was crazy

I remember it because I've never seen a well developed shelf cloud in real life until about 10 minutes before things went to shite.

still remember that derecho event circa 2015-16 (cant remember the exact year, it was before I left for Alaska in early 2016)

Was it about 10am or so? I had to work the night before if we are talking about the same one. I was going to work late and I've never gotten in my hall and shut all of the doors other than that morning.

Baw, I’ll let those who know more than me answer that. From what I understand, the higher the dewpoint, the more moist the atmosphere becomes. At 60° or higher (especially over 70°), storms have lots of ability to intensify.

I could be off on this answer and I’m sure there’s a better explanation available.

Sitting here watching the radar and happy the worst of the storms will likely miss me in Baton Rouge only for there to be multiple explosions outside and now no power.

Got to love that Entergy grid

Mobile….you guys are in for a rough ride tomorrow morning. Take this one seriously.
