Replay uses retained source bytes. Recording begins with activation; missing history is not clear weather.

Live sources keep independent clocks.

Replay coverage and interpretation

Rolling target: 24 hours; cells: six hours. Radar: NOAA MRMS national overview, 8-minute tolerance. Satellite: original GOES GeoColor day/night picture, hourly sampling, 75-minute tolerance. No interpolation or latest-image fallback. Warning and source checks retain their own clocks. “Recorded by” is collector acquisition evidence, not exact browser publication history.

Current GLM density, velocity and specialist layers are hidden during replay. Snow uses retained footprint metadata with unverified pixel time. Forecast uses one pinned issuance/run and exact valid time.

No observed replay frame displayed.

NOAA/NWS/NOHRSC’s original picture and legend. No station or address value is inferred.

NOHRSC footprint times are metadata; pixel analysis time is not independently verified. Snow-depth pixels have previously differed from the footprint time. This is modeled/assimilated snow analysis, not a measurement at a place. Unshaded and no-data areas do not establish zero snow.

    A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now, or will shortly. A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures can contribute to extreme fire behavior.

    Red Flag Warning issued October 17 at 3:27AM CDT until October 17 at 8:00PM CDT by NWS New Orleans LA

    ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS POSSIBLE TODAY...

.A cold front is introducing some very dry air with RH values
falling into the low to mid 30s along with windy conditions with
some gusts well into the 30 mph range. Winds are expected to
continue in the mid 20 mph range today. The combination of gusty
winds, current drought conditions, ample dry fuel, and very dry
conditions will allow any fire that develops to spread quickly. A
Red Flag Warnings will continue for a large portion of the area
today. This headline will drop by Sunday, but only the wind speeds
will cause this change. The dry, breezy conditions will remain
causing favorable conditions for fire spread.

* WINDS...North 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph.

* RELATIVE HUMIDITY...As low as 30 percent.

* IMPACTS...Any fire that develops will catch and spread
quickly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.
