Rainfall for May, 2007 was below normal for most of
Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana. An obvious exception was
the Lake Charles area with over eleven inches, mainly attributed to
a couple of systems that dumped nearly three inches a piece during
the beginning and end of the month. Precipitation was a little more
plentiful across South Central Louisiana, where near to above normal
precipitation was observed.
Temperatures across the region were within a degree of normal for
the most part. A strong cold front in the middle of the month
brought overnight lows in the upper 40s to lower 50s for a couple of
mornings. Otherwise, a fairly typical temperature distribution was
observed.
The
following tables are compiled from the Automatic Surface Observing
System (ASOS) and Cooperative Observer network within the National
Weather Service Lake Charles area of responsibility, using data
obtained from NOAA's Regional Climate Center xmACIS, WxCoder, and
mailed in Cooperative Observer B-29 forms. Many thanks goes out to
our Hydro Meteorological Technicians Todd Mogged and Jimmy Nunn,
whom maintains the cooperative observing equipment that our
observers use to provide this information.
Rainfall graphics were obtained from the Lower Mississippi River
Forecast Center's Precipitation Analysis product.
