Discussion
Strong high pressure will control the weather around here for the remainder of the week with each day featuring plenty of sunshine and comfortably warm conditions. Temperatures should peak this afternoon in the low-to-mid 80’s and then likely in the similar range for the latter part of the week and weekend. Elsewhere, on the tropical scene, Francine will approach the central coast of Louisiana later today as a strong “cat 1” hurricane or possibly even a “cat 2” and it will push northward after landfall on Thursday over the southern Mississippi Valley. A strong blocking pattern in the upper atmosphere will likely result in a halt later in the week to the northward advance of Francine’s remnants and then there is a chance that low pressure forms near the east coast early next week.
