It seems that this winter, more than normal, we as a collective meteorological community are getting thrown off on our temperature forecasts. Clouds are being more pernicious, more influential than we’ve been properly anticipating. Such as it was in New Orleans, and it was in Holland before that. Clouds really held off a cool down last Monday in the Big Easy, but then, the temperatures plummeted on Tuesday as those clouds really prevented the afternoon warm up. It wasn’t the slow steady progression anyone expected, though I can confirm that after our forecast was over, things started to get back to normal in New Orleans. We’re still awaiting normal for the weather forecasters. It was a tight race, even if not a proud one, and the NWS got the wins.
