I haven't been watching the TV reports, but somebody on an earlier thread brought this up and I was just wondering if anybody was commenting on it.

There looks like there is some weather moving into northern Lousiana and heading south. Has anybody commented on that, and would that have any effect on the track of the storm? In other words, if that weather moved south fast enough, could it deflect the path away from NO?

In this link you can see the weather forming over northern Louisiana toward the end of the loop.

Snowislander noted the weather dropping down into LA about an hour ago. Other than getting the ground wet in preparation for more torrential hurricane rains...let's ask the wx gurus.

I don't know anything about how it might interact with the hurricane, but I imagine that for anyone who is trying to escape this storm that driving north into that southbound weather might not be the most troublefree way to escape.
