The weather seems to have settled into a typical summertime patten with upper winds relatively light and SE (and the temperatures are more like mid-June than early May as well!). This afternoon trans-Gulf migrants seem to be scant except at Brownsville which is showing a strong incoming flight. These may continue N offshore or reorient NE toward the upper Texas/southwest Louisiana coast. And the flight may arrive at more northerly sites later this afternoon.Brownsville is 5 degrees of latitude south of Lake Charles and it is obvious that a trans-Gulf migration would arrive there first. jca John C.
