| 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 Freshwater City lock 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 1620Z on the 20th, and at 120Z and 1130Z on the 21st. The lowest tide level recorded was 3 feet below mean lower low water at both 1620Z with a difference of 4.46 feet from the predicted level. |
