So the Saints victory over the Panthers should end around 6:45-7:00, meaning I’m walking from the Dome to my truck and then driving home from then until about 8.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New Orleans LA 743 PM CST Sun Jan 7 2018
...SOUNDING DISCUSSION... Humidity/dewpoint observations failed at just 800 mb with the first release. Given the forecast tonight opted for a second release, which has come in complete. Onshore flow today has brought PW up to 1 inch, which is just above average and will continue to come up overnight. The southeast wind this evening reached 35 kts at just 900 feet and had a max of 40 kts in the core of the low level jet at 2000 feet (950mb). Winds then veer to southwest in an inversion through the 850 to 750 mb layer with the cloud deck in there at about 7000 feet. There is another elevated inversion at 430 mb. Surface to 6 km shear is about 50 kts, but sfc to 3 km SRH is 600 m2/s2. There is little to no CAPE in the profile at the moment, though the saturated Gulf air at low levels will be able to create some instability later tonight. Indeed the LCH sounding has a few hundred J/KG of CAPE. Severe threat is overall very low, but some embedded strong to minimally severe storms are possible early tomorrow as more of the narrow warm sector moves ashore. This includes a chance for waterspouts over marine areas. Locally heavy rain could also be a concern from stronger storms.
