This week I had the pleasure of attending the National Weather Association Conference in my hometown of Louisville, KY. Five hundred meteorologists from all over the country were there to talk about major weather events, new technology, and recent research. Meetings went from Monday to Thursday Oct. 13-16th from about 8:00am to 6:00pm each day. During that time weather professionals shared their experiences and findings with the group. It’s an opportunity for weather people to learn about our ever changing climate and weather events. One thing I took away from it was a better understanding of winter weather, a main topic at the conference this year. Snow events and blizzards are something we don’t see too much in Acadiana so it was interesting to hear how other meteorologists deal with it. The pics above come from the NWA Website if you would like to see more.
Our forecast for the week starts off with more sunny skies and comfortable temperatures before a cold front approaches Wednesday. Scattered rain is expected through Thursday before the front moves east and high pressure moves in. High temperatures have been very seasonable with morning lows well below average. As the humidity increases overnight temps will be closer to normal. Overall, this week will be nothing out of the ordinary with some showers mid-week.
Enjoy it!
