Jesse Gunkel Tropical Depression will likely form in the northern Gulf late Wednesday into Thursday; Heavy rain threat to Louisiana
Article by Jesse Gunkel;
With the latest NHC Advisory, the chance for development has jumped to 90%. A tropical depression will likely form by late Wednesday or early Thursday. Tropical, hurricane, and storm surge watches could be issued as early as tomorrow. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to fly through the area of disturbed weather tomorrow. More details should come from the flight.
As of right now, the path and intensity of Invest 92L remain slightly uncertain. Numerous scenarios could play out over the next 24-36 hours. Some long-range models take a more northerly path while others keep the system further south. Also, some models show Invest 92L strengthening into a strong tropical storm or possibly a weak hurricane before landfall. Right now, models are indicating that the area will see some upper-level support. Therefore, strengthening is likely in the coming days.
However, the biggest threat will be heavy rainfall. Currently, rain estimates sit in the 3″-6″ range with some locally higher amounts for southeast Louisiana. Flash flooding could be a concern. Luckily for us, the rain will be spaced out over 3-4 days and the system is expected to jog through the area and not stall.
Jesse Gunkel Air Quality Alert
Increasing Saharan dust combined with pollution from evening fireworks will enhance particle levels.
Increasing Saharan dust combined with pollution from evening fireworks will enhance particle levels. Furthermore, a surface high-pressure system south of the Bayou State will lead to light winds, and partly sunny skies along with temperatures in the 90s will aid ozone production.
These conditions will yield Moderate AQI levels for most cities. Light winds will continue to draw Saharan dust into Louisiana. Additionally, surface high pressure over the state will limit vertical mixing, and pollutant carryover from fireworks along with temperatures in the 90s and mostly sunny skies will enhance ozone formation. As a result, AQI levels will be Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups for New Orleans and Baton Rouge, and Moderate for the rest of Louisiana.
Saturday, light westerly to southwesterly winds will begin to disperse Saharan dust. However, continued warm temperatures and mostly sunny skies will aid ozone formation. These conditions, along with pollutant carryover, will lead to Moderate AQI levels statewide.
This area includes East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, Iberville, Livingston, Ascension, and Pointe Coupee parishes. The weather conditions will be favorable for the formation of ozone.
The Air Quality Index indicates that ozone will be at the orange level, which is unhealthy for sensitive groups. Increasing ozone levels may cause unhealthy air quality during afternoon hours. Active children and adults, the elderly and people with respiratory diseases, such as asthma, should avoid prolonged outdoor activities and exertion.
