So much for our “cool†front – it has been somewhat of a disappointment, as warmer more humid air is already working its way back into the region. This weekend we look for isolated showers Saturday with more scattered activity Sunday into next week.
Deep easterlies will surge through the Gulf this weekend increasing the moisture across the entire gulf rim. It remains unclear whether the area of disturbed weather in the Caribbean will get further organized this weekend, but it will keep our attention as the Gulf waters stay warm enough to support tropical activity. This feature is expected to drift WNW’ward this weekend.
Bottom line over the next week is that with high pressure over the South-Central US combined with lower pressures in the southern Gulf will produce moderate easterly breezes that could allow for tides to increase 1-2ft, especially over Southeast LA.
Hopefully we get another chance at a frontal boundary around Wednesday/Thursday of next week, but I wouldn’t get the gumbo pots out just yet.
