DISCUSSION...
VERY INTERESTING WEATHER PATTERN OVER THE UNITED STATES WITH VERY
COOL TEMPERATURES OVER THE NORTHEAST UNITED STATES...TEMPS IN THE
50S TO MID 60S THIS AFTERNOON... WHILE THE UPPER MIDWEST IS
LOOKING AT MID 70S. CLOSER TO HOME... STORMS ARE MOVING UP FROM DEEP

REGION...HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT OVER LOUISIANA HAS TEMPS INTO THE LOW
TO MID 90S WITH THE HEAT INDEX FROM 97 TO 103. THE HEAT INDEX WILL
SLOWLY FALL THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.

WE ARE ALSO CURRENTLY LOOKING AT A WEAK COOL FRONT DRAPED OVER
NORTHERN LOUISIANA. THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO SAG TO THE SOUTH AND
LOOKS TO MOVE INTO CENTRAL LOUISIANA BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE...
THIS SUMMERTIME PATTERN MEANS MORNING LOWS IN THE 70S AND
AFTERNOON HIGHS INTO THE LOW TO MID 90S. IN ADDITION WITH HIGH
PRESSURE ALOFT THIS WILL HOLD AFTERNOON PRECIP AND CLOUDS IN
CHECK. THE HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL CLIMB EACH DAY ABOVE THE CENTURY
