The beautiful city of New Orleans, well known for Mardi Gras, Bourbon Street, and Audubon Zoo. Also, well known from it huge impact from Hurricane Katrina. Amongst tropical system impacts, day to day basis weather forecasts are not as easy as it may seem for a city in a bowl. The temperatures are highly influenced by both the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Pontchartrain and if the wind is blowing off either body of water. If the water is blowing off either body of water it will keep temperatures warm during the day and at night. However, if the water is blowing too strong off Lake Pontchartrain then the water temperature won't affect the air temperature very much. As far as precipitation goes, it's a lot like Miami, FL with the exception of being affected by two sea breezes. At this time of the year sea breezes were not much of a factor as fronts were. Even with fronts it was just a matter of it rained over your location or not and the amount varied from place to place.
Challenging city for forecasting as wind plays a huge factor in a number of things and the two bodies of water play a very important role as well. The next city is familiar with cold winters and a lot of snow. It is known as the Beehive of Industry and the Creative Capital. Located in the heart of The Ocean State. Can you guess what it is?
