There is a lot of convection in the immediate area, so things could get a little screwy

 

Agree - I just noticed that after my post. We'll see how it shakes out for nearby sites in the next hour.

For comparison...Baton Rouge (50 miles NE of New Iberia) is actually lower, at 998.4 mb...which is a 4.3 mb drop over the past 3 hours. New Orleans is 1001.0 mb.

They might online but I'm not sure where to find the exact link.I'm able to listen to it through our phone at work. 

Their severe weather conference calls are available on NOAA radio as well. Not sure if the same goes for winter weather calls.

at this point the RAP is firmly in the hi-res/NAM/GEFS camp but it's almost always west at this range so i'm trying to take it with a grain of salt.

 

Yeah but still looks solid IMO.

 

The Euro is east because it takes on a more positive tilt/not closing it off aloft which is pushing the sfc low more off to the NE

I'd be a little nervous if I were on the western fringes of this thing.  Just gonna have to keep watching the trends.  imo the more likely way this could bust for Chicago would be a delayed changeover vs. the bulk of the precip going too far east.
