There's a solid shield of rain moving in at the moment. A Tornado Watch remains in effect for the Northshore parishes and some south Mississippi counties until 7 pm.

Not much activity across the Greater New Orleans region. Most of the activity was across the Northshore parishes and now have quieted to areas the Lafourche and Terrebonne coast.
Look for a 20 to 30 percent of showers and storms across the area for the weekend. Highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s. Lows from the mid 70s to near 80.

New life for this thread.
Looks like there's a chance of some strong storms from the Delta to Columbus down to the I-20 corridor.
For the rest of the week, a frontal boundary will settle in the area and keep rain chances up. Highs will mainly be in the upper 80s to low 90s.

Local Forecast / Re: General LF Discussion
« on: January 19, 2013, 02:32:32 PM »It's amazing (and sad) that the #1 selling point for The Weather Channel back in the day has now been marginalized to barely existing at all. I remember when 3+ minute local forecasts were common and, at certain times of the day, would be shown more often than 6 times per hour.
Now, you blink and you miss it.
The local forecast is really all that keeps me tuning into TWC right now. The live weather programming outside of a weather emergency focuses so little on the actual weather. It's a lot of talking, a lot of hype, tabloid-style reporting (especially during "Wake Up With Al"), and more discussion about social media and interactivity through the internet than I care to hear about.
Even the larger LDLs would have been able to provide more weather information on a constant basis, but those have been thoroughly discarded by now (though, thanks to a glitch or two, I know they're still programmed into the Stars). Instead, most of the actual local weather information viewers can see is on the tiny LDL throughout the day. (Granted, the Intellistar 2 provides more information in the LDL than the Intellistar, but non-Intellistar viewers get no local information, unless they're lucky enough to live in a major city, in which case you get current conditions and a 2-day forecast if you can manage to wait for the list to cycle through.)
I agree with this guy 100 percent.
