| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong cold front pushed through South Louisiana with strong showers and storms along the boundary. Wind gusts in these storms were commonly in the 45 to 55 MPH range as they moved from northwest to southeast. Damage was reported in South Central Louisiana as isolated wind gusts of 55 to 60 MPH occurred. The strong persistent north winds behind the front also caused low tides along the coast. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | A strong cold front moved across the coastal zones during the 20th with strong north winds remaining over the area for more than a day. These winds produced lower than normal tides all along the coast. The NOS tide gauge at Cameron recorded 3 separate times where the tide level fell more than one foot below mean lower low water. The times at the lowest tide levels were 17Z on the 20th, and at 220Z and 1230Z on the 21st. The lowest tide level recorded was 1.7 feet below mean lower low water at both 17Z and 220Z with the biggest difference occurring at 220Z with the water level 3.2 feet below the predicted level. |
