Major flood issues with this last flood event across S LA..
Final rain totals from 5/6–5/7: Some spots saw enough to trigger major flash flooding, esp. in Beauregard, Allen & Calcasieu. Data pulled from CPPJ gauges, PWS, & METARs. More rain possible tomorrow/weekend, but not expecting major flood issues. #LAwx

Keeping a close eye on this. Short term CAMs have had a good uptrend
Overnight strong storms possible (4/30–5/1):
Line moves in 12–3AM north, 2–5AM Acadiana/SWLA.
Most will just see rain & 40–50mph gusts, but IF it holds, pockets of 70+mph wind & hail possible. Tornado/flood risk low. Charge phones & multiple ways to get warnings tonight. #lawx

Any SPC mets or anyone know what’s going on with the SPC servers lately.. specifically the mesoanalysis page? It’s been really slow the past few days. @wxliz.bsky.social

Hot & Muggy Is the Story...
Temps are sitting in the low to mid 80s across #southwestlouisiana and #acadiana this afternoon—and with those high dew points, it’s feeling every bit of it.
Cool weather is back on the way tho for the start of our work week!

Tis that time of year.. sea breeze boundaries! As we enter our climatological peak heating months, the contrast between the ‘cooler’ Gulf and the warm land temps creates these little "cool fronts," if you will. They can also help spark some localized precipitation. #LAwx

While the entire state is NOT under any sort of drought, the lack of rain today and over the last 14 days across most of the state (along with 10-100cm soil moisture running quite low), sets the stage for prime fire weather conditions Thu into Fri. Avoid outdoor burning!! #lawx

Check out all this dust (yellow) mixed in with this large 992mb low and CF being dragged to the south. Some of this dust mixing in with a few clouds behind the front could lead to a nice sunset over some areas!

If we don’t mix much during the day (and I think CAMs might be underdoing it a bit).. we could be looking at a pretty impactful hail event across Acadiana and SWLA with the potential for a brief tornado. #lawx

Wish we could just help every single person. All good people.
Andy is one of the most dedicated and passionate scientists in our field, and his contributions span far and wide in hurricane research and forecasting, especially time at NHC. He was part of the illegal layoffs of the last 48 hours.
If you’re able, consider chipping in to help support his family.

Wow! Check out all of this likely super-refraction over on KLCH tonight. It's quite stable and with all the low-level/boundary layer cooling, it's easy for these atmospheric conditions to bring the radar beam near the surface. Now let's see if anyone is speeding lol

Thank you, Mr. Dictator. Even though I sat on the couch looking like a scared dog with my tail tucked toward the end, I will always fight as the one and only Marco Rubio. God bless Donald John Trump (cue the Trump version of the national anthem).

Nice sunset out of Church Point to end the day. Lows in the 50s with some fog possible overnight. Mardi Gras brings widespread rain (some severe) & strong winds (40+ mph). Another quick system late next week, but the weekend looks rather nice for all of Acadiana.

Wow, take a look at that. It's very possible that we get a high wind warning for many areas on Tuesday due to the extreme gradient winds, in part from this system to the north. Some spots could see high-end tropical storm force winds. #lawx

I will mourn the day that our knowledge, research, and passion in the Weather Service is ever disposed of in favor of that used for the gain of a business or individual. I kept my job today, but I will miss everyone else who was motivated by the greater good of all people.

Never seen them before + blue check = dumbass
Remarkable that some storm chasers are stoked that meteorologists lost jobs today. celebrating the fact that the people who keep communities safe and provide critical data that fuels storm chasing and saves lives are losing their jobs? Bold move. Hope you never need their help when things go bad.

New: Layoffs underway of probationary employees at @noaa.gov Unclear so far how many were exempted for public safety reasons at the Nat'l Weather Service, NOAA Satellites and other units. www.axios.com/2025/02/27/l...
Layoffs hit federal climate, weather agency NOAA
The cuts could affect NOAA's weather forecasts, climate research and other functions.

I almost never read articles.. but Matt his the nail on the head with this one
Hurricane forecasting has never been better. The NHC just had their most successful year of forecasting. But we sit at a perilous moment, and it's important to understand the ramifications of what may be coming from the Trump Administration. Here, we offer an economic argument to proceed cautiously.
Austerity measures threaten to stall absolutely amazing, cost-saving hurricane forecast progress
Hurricane forecasting has never been better. We say that a lot, but the statistics bear that out, and last hurricane season was literally the best one yet. National Hurricane Center track forecast …
