Don't give up yet Shawn. It feels like a depression here today, except we haven't gotten any rainfall. There are showers moving into lower St. Bernard and lower Plaquemines Parish right now. Maybe we'll get some of that action later this afternoon.

The system should turn west down the road. Bob Stokes on TWC just said it's already moving west. Steve Lyons said it would on the last TU. The blocking high to the north should steer it your way. The question is whether or not it's over land or just offshore once it turns. Technically, I think the low could still skirt off NE in front of the nose of another high down in the Gulf, but what do I know?

And finally, one of the segments of Atmospheres tonight deals with Alison. Maybe if you close your eyes really tight... Nevermind. Wait until Wednesday. If things work out, you'll be getting some tropical influence.
