236 FXUS64 KLIX 102130 AFDLIX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New Orleans LA 430 PM CDT Wed Oct 10 2018 .DISCUSSION...Hurricane Michael made landfall earlier today between Tyndall AFB and Mexico Beach in the FL panhandle. Over our area skies will mostly clear and we saw a lot of sun. Forecast is now quiet through the rest of the week and into the weekend. Cold front finally gets through tomorrow and "Welcome Autumn" and we will see temps back to normal and below normal Friday and into Saturday. Much nicer weather will finally be in place, lows will drop into the 50s and lower 60s Friday and Saturday and Highs may stay in the upper 70s to lower 80s Thu through Saturday. Return flow sets back up Sunday as a sfc low begin to develop and move across the ARKLAMISS how ever it will move northeast but that second cold front will not push through as previously thought on Monday. The L/W trough will finally move across the central CONUS Tue and Wed and this could help drive that second cold front through. && .AVIATION...All terminals will be in VFR through tonight and tomorrow. Front will move through tomorrow but will be a dry front as we are not expecting any rain. && .MARINE...Winds are calming down over all of the waters but the seas/waves will take longer to relax and could be hazardous through most of the evening.
