Afternoon Video:
Good Thursday afternoon. Latest radar trends suggest that dry time is indeed possible for the game tonight as the cluster of storms that has dropped nearly 4″ of rain the first half of the day dives to the south and the leftover boundary tends to remain north of the area.
Scattered showers or an isolated storm are possible after 6 PM but there should be a window to get the game in tonight. The latest HRRR model shows this very well:
The latest European model for the weekend remains consistent with heavy rain and storms pushing into New Orleans in the early afternoon on Sunday right around game time and dropping very heavy rain. We will continue to monitor this setup the next few days but increasing likelihood of impacts for Sunday’s game.
If you have any questions, be sure to contact our on-call phone throughout the evening. Have a great day.
