What are the chances of me making it from Monroe to New Orleans tomorrow afternoon? I know I-55 is close and now US-61 is closed at Woodville. Will either be open by tomorrow afternoon
Friend came from Monroe today. 61 was closed at Thompson creek so he detoured over Audobon Bridge to new roads and then worked his way over to I-10 new bridge in Baton Rouge. No trouble at all along that route.
Not sure about Baton Rouge to New Orleans part.

Why Not a Tropical Depression?
Our current nasty weather is being caused by a large area of low pressure that exhibits all the qualities of a tropical system. The low formed over the NE Gulf on Saturday, moved northward into Georgia, and then westward into Louisiana. Why it is not being designated a TD is probably due to the lack of low level winds. Usually a TD has winds 30+. That has not been the case with this system. But it’s kind of like, was it a tornado or straight line winds? Damage is damage. In this case, flooding is flooding. And there may be more to come as I’m seeing the low level swirl of radar echoes centered between Hammond & Gonzales drifting to the SOUTH. I’m not sure if this is just a temporary movement, but if it continues, that motion would take the center back over the Gulf by daybreak. FOX 8 has already scheduled a special Saturday morning newscast between 6-9 AM to mainly focus on the rising rivers on the North Shore, but also to deal with any breaking weather if this system does indeed get over the Gulf.
As you know, I spent 38 years at Ch. 8 so I’m definitely biased. However, watching today’s coverage of the flooding by various channels clearly showed that for the FOX 8 reporters, this was not their first rodeo. Rob Masson & Natasha Robin were outstanding with their knowledge of previous flood events while Shelby Latino, Bruce Katz & David Bernard clearly explained why the severe flooding was only on the North Shore. As we hit the heart (Aug 15- Sept. 30) of hurricane season, we’ll have to be prepared to deal with more tropical systems that might not involve evacuations, but could cause heavy rain events that produce massive flooding. I remember a slow moving weak hurricane (Danny) back in the 80s that stalled over Mobile Bay for 3 days dumping up to 43” on the West side of the Bay. Can you imagine getting 40+ inches of rain inside our levee system? The severe flooding back in 1995 was caused by 15-20”+ or about half the Danny total. It’s part of what we deal with living so close to a tropical body of water. Let’s keep up with the weather tomorrow & Sunday in case this low pressure turns into something worse. Stay tuned!

NOLA to Northshore via Causeway.
190 to Hwy 25 to Franklinton
Hwy 25 continues to Hwy 27 through Tylertown.
Check waze at Tylertown to see if Hwy 98 over to I55 is doable. If not, stay on 27 to Vicksburg, then pick up I-20.

Does anyone have an up-to-date list of road closures in St. Tammany? Everything I have searched is from earlier today..
Posted on 8/12/16 at 9:01 pm to Chad504boy
Correct, so far. If these rivers crest like they're predicted to do over the weekend, St Tammany won't be fine.

I know brewster has been closed but wondering about hwy 22 and 1085..

Maybe some good news, intense convection off to the west might be able to disrupt inflow and kick off some subsidence hampering storm redevelopment this evening. However, there appears to be plenty of high theta-e air pooling off the coast that could surge back northward once the low level jet gets cranked up this evening.
Is it possible that the convection will rotate around the center and may come back towards us by morning or is that not something that happens?

I live off of 1085. I drove down River Road in Madisonville this afternoon at 3:30, came up 22 to 1085, then back home. Everything was good then. The water in my ditch has receded a good foot or so over the last two hours.
Posted on 8/12/16 at 9:15 pm to 4LSU2
Remember when this rain stops, the worst may not be over, the worst may not even have come. The river crests days from now will be the real threat.

Thank you!

This was in the 90's but it was insane. Downtown Mobile had like 12 feet of water in it.

I watched it live on TV. Didn't know he died.
