.DISCUSSION...

West northwest winds 10 to 15 knots, gusts 20 to 25 knots, are
anticipated for much of the day today with low pressure exiting to
the east. Dewpoints today will hang around in the low 60s,
resulting in afternoon RH values 60 to 65 percent. A secondary
cold front will move down through the region late today, bringing
about another round of scattered showers and isolated thunder.

1) There is a low but non-zero chance of fog this evening prior to
the cold front. Saturday should be too dry for fog formation, but
with calming conditions by Sunday morning, there could be some
light ground fog development.

2) Sunset occurs at approx 725 PM CDT tonight.

3) High tide at Calcasieu Pass, LA is 1.33 ft at 349 PM CDT. Low
tide at Calcasieu Pass, LA is 0.86 ft at 850 PM CDT.

4) The next chance for measurable rain will be from late this
afternoon to early evening with the cold front passage. That
chance is about 15 percent. The next chance after that is Monday
daytime with a 50 to 60 percent chance of measurable rain.

5) Land/sea breezes are not anticipated today due to gradient
winds from passing low pressure today and cold front later
tonight.
