Hey all, just checking in here. We're between 2-3" now in Metairie. I set the clock early so I wouln't miss that band that was around Houma all day, and luckily I had timed it right to wake up. It's nothing big, but I'm not missing whatever limited excitement I can get out of Matthew since it's the start of a 3 day weekend. And btw, I'd like to wish a happy Columbus Day to all the Columbians.

Looking at the latest Channel-4 Loop, I'd say that Matthew has taken a jog to the northeast from the beginning of the frame to the end (6:42EDT). Unfortunately the dry line is creeping up on me so I don't know if there will be another round of storms for us when the next round of convection cranks.

Steve
