Weather conditions at Louis Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans:

METAR KMSY 290153Z 04027G34KT 10SM SCT019 27/24 A2956

0153 GMT (8:53 pm CDT), winds from 040 degrees (NE) at 27 knots gusting to 34, visibility 10 miles, ceiling scattered 1900 feet, temperature 27C, dewpoint 24C, pressure 29.56".

I think the airport's actually in Kenner, west of downtown?
