.DISCUSSION...
Well the good news is that the gusts today are late, but near 20
mph in Monroe and Ruston just this past hour. Gusts will slack
overnight, but keep 5 to 10 mph and then resume for what should
be a better showing on Saturday. We have another fire danger
statement for tomorrow with some NE gusts 25 to 30 mph possible
tomorrow as Hurricane Isaias makes landfall overnight on the FL
panhandle. The track has edged eastward slightly, taking away any
chance for wetting rains in our area. And it still looks like
another week or so of dry weather. We will see the gusty
conditions relax for Sunday and much of next week we continue to
warm up with southerly flow off the Gulf. This will warm temps in
the morning most notably, while highs continue late summer like in
the low to mid 90s. We do see our next cool down, this time next
week. A strong cold front will gather what little moisture we have
in place for a brief chance of rainfall on late Friday and early
Saturday. However, despite bringing meager amounts of
precipitation, this will be a real deal cold front for next
weekend with below average readings on highs and lows.
