All interest and Last minute preparations in the Lafayette area should be rushed to completion.

Looks like 45 knot surface (SFMR) winds and 55 knots at flight level. We may have a TS. ETA: 999 mb pressure.

Yeah, that's a TS.

Does have that front interacting on the west side but it still appears to be fully tropical at this time.

It's going to slow down on the gulf end as the front weakens from all the heat the winds behind the frontal boundary are picking up blowing over the gulf. Basically it serves to warm up the cold side of the boundary, which lessens the temperature gradient across it.

Still out of Louisiana by like mid day tomorrow though.

Unlike last week, the tropical and non tropical aspects are going to be more balanced. Still hybrid but more tropical than last week's system in toward Florida.

Officially TS Olga. New Wind map just came out and it gives Baton Rouge basically a 40% chance of seeing Tropical storm force winds.

I don't make the maps. I just pass them on.


ETA:

Okay I have no fricking clue why the images aren't working. I even loaded them to imgur and they don't work there either. Oh well.

1:00am
Winds gust to 40-50 near Lafayette and 20-40 near BR.

4:00am
Gusting to 50-55 in Lafayette and 20-30 near BR BUT eastern side of Ascension Parish and southward and eastward to near La Place wind gusts are as high as 60-70 mph. Not kidding.

7:00am
Lafayette is calm. 76mph max gust right over Lake Maurapas with a large area of 70-80 gusts from Gonzales eastward to Mandeville, southward to La Place and Pierre Part and northward to near Bogalusa.

10:00 am
All is calm in SELA

That seems pretty high. I'd be very surprised if we saw sustained at or above 40 from this.
