Good God. The stupidity on this planet has reached incredible

8pm @NWSWPC is monitoring the possibility of a band of heavy rain developing across portions of SELA & coastal MS. We know we don't need anymore rain but be on the guard for possible heavy rain this evening & possibly over night. #LAwx #MSwx #StillHere

Had a buddy go down today to check on his camp off Tiboe. 22 was underwater but they were getting through with trucks.

Crews making quick progress. Just drove in from Henderson and many of the areas of Walker off Florida look to be power restored. There's very large areas of BR without power still though. On another note, there almost isn't a drop off gas between here and there without a 30 minute wait.

(no message)

Anyone know if there's power on Millerville in BR? Demco Outage map isn't working

Is it just me or is this a little non professional from the national weather service to ramble and hashtag like this? Maybe it’s me getting old but I would want an official organization to just tell me what I need to know. Is it or is it not likely to rain. I don’t need your hashtags or you sentiments. Tell me what I need to know and that’s it. I can find sympathy somewhere else

I think it is just them trying to be a little less formal in the wake of the storm. They didn't do that leading up to or during the storm.

I will say, they've done a hell of job throughout with getting info out, whether it was their forecasts or warnings or other's news or updates. I have no complaints about the NWS New Orleans office during this, particularly with some other offices really struggling of late.

South of a MEI to MGM line, stronger v-flux of the 850 mb wind
will support instability transport toward locations inland from
the Gulf Coast with potential for training axes of rainfall rates
near 3 in/hr from far southern MS into southern AL and the western
FL Panhandle. In addition, the 12Z HREF and recent runs of the
HRRR have been supporting the development of a WSW to ENE inflow
band to focus across southeastern LA, south of 30 N. This would be
in response to low level confluence and the presence of a very
moist and unstable airmass with little in the way of inhibition.

Ton of moisture, decent instability (suggestive of the heavy rates in tandem with the moisture), and some big convergence of moisture in the Mississippi Sound. Band forms along the coast and eventually rounds back toward the low pressure center up in Mississippi or whereever the hell it is now.

Gotta keep an eye on that with water so high across SE Louisiana.
