Today's (or rather tomorrow's) road trip will be interesting, as we'll be running parallel to the track of a potential tropical system in the Gulf for a good 6-7 hours. It's a 364 mile trip that we'll cover at a rate of 53.8mph, mostly because there is little interstate between the two cities. Let's do a little hurricane hunting, then.



With the northeasterly flow ahead of that system in the Gulf, much of our route will see an infusion of dry air that will make the trip slightly more tolerable, but at the same time will allow temperatures to climb into triple digits. The Air conditioner will be wonderful. There could be a couple of isolated thunderstorms popping up in Texas, but they will wait until we are well into Louisiana before they kick up. Oppressively hot when we reach Alexandria.
