.DISCUSSION...

Southerly winds will persist across the region through the week,
resulting in a gradual increase of moisture. Despite dry weather
and a breezy southerly wind, relative humidity levels each day
will be well above critical thresholds.

...REMARKS...

Dense fog is not expected this morning as winds should remain elevated
enough to reduce formation chances.  That said, some patchy light fog is
still possible mainly in the early morning hours. Any fog that might be
able to develop should burn off by mid-morning.

The next chance for any measurable rainfall is not anticipated until
Saturday at the earliest.

At the Rigolets on Lake Borgne, low tide is at 930 AM this morning and
high tide is just after midnight tomorrow morning. The range is 0.7 feet.

Sunset is at 728 PM CDT.
