November, 2007
Rainfall & Temperature Data

Compiled by:
Donovan Landreneau, Forecaster

 

November, 2007 rainfall was above normal across area between U.S. Highway 190 and Interstate 10, where 4 to 7 inches was the rule. The highest total observed was Crowley with 9.27 inches. Many areas across the coast, and further north across Inland Southeast Texas and Central Louisiana, average rainfall was well below normal, with 3 to 4 inches the rule. One notable exception was Morgan City, coming in with only 0.60 inches for the month.

Temperatures averaged 1 to 2 degrees above normal for most locations across the region.

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.
