NOW ON TO WDSU. FIRST WARNING WEATHER STILL AN IMPACT DAY FOR THE NEXT 45 MINUTES BECAUSE THIS MORNING ANOTHER HEAT ADVISORY WAS ISSUED. TEMPERATURES TODAY, JUST AS HOT AS THEY’VE BEEN THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS, SHOW YOU WHERE WE STAND RIGHT NOW. BUT FOR THE NEXT 43 MINUTES, WE’RE STILL UNDER THIS HEAT ADVISORY. WE HIT 95 OFFICIALLY TODAY IN NEW ORLEANS. BOGALUSA DID 96, EVEN DID 91 IN HOME. AND I SAW YOUR HEAT INDEX AT ONE POINT UP TO 111. WHERE WE STAND BELLE CHASSE YOU’RE DOWN AT 89. WE’VE HAD A LITTLE LIGHT RAIN THAT JUST MOVED THROUGH HEAT INDEX IN MANY CASES. STILL AROUND 104 IN THE HOTTEST SPOTS. LET’S CHECK OUT RADAR THOUGH FOR YOU. AND WE HAVE SEEN SOME REDEVELOPMENT AND SOME ISOLATED STORMS. WDSU FIRST WARNING WEATHER DOPPLER RADAR. HAVEN’T SEEN ANYTHING HERE. THAT WAS WHAT JUST MOVED THROUGH BELLE CHASSE. NOW SOME SHOWERS THAT MOVED JUST THROUGH AKERS COULD HAVE PROVIDED SOME HEAVY RAIN, BUT THIS HAS BEEN A REDEVELOPING RAIN SHOWER FROM PLAINVIEW TO SAINT BENEDICT TO GOODBEE. THESE SHOWERS ARE MOVING EAST RIGHT NOW, SO EVERYBODY AHEAD OF THAT, THE EVEN SOME AREAS IN BOGALUSA, PICAYUNE, SLIDELL, YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY FIND SOME STORMS, BUT I’M WATCHING WHAT’S HAPPENING NEAR NEW ROADS. THAT COULD BE ANOTHER REDEVELOPING SYSTEM THAT WE’LL HAVE TO KEEP TRACK. AND B OUR NEXT WAVE OF STORMS. AND THAT ONE MIGHT ACTUALLY BREAK THE HEAT. BUT IT’S THE TROPICS. WHAT JUST CAME OUT TODAY WE’VE BEEN TRACKING TROPICAL WAVE 94 L, BUT 95 L HAS JUST BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THIS NOW HAS A MEDIUM CHANCE OF POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT. BUT YOU SEE THAT’S OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. WE’VE BEEN LOOKING AT THIS SYSTEM IN THE CARIBBEAN FOR THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS. VERY LOW CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT. IT’S FINDING SOME WIND SHEAR. 10% CHANCE. NEXT TWO DAYS, 20% NEXT SEVEN DAYS. SOME OF OUR BEST FORECAST DATA SHOW BAY OF CAMPECHE ONCE AGAIN, MAYBE SOME DEVELOPMENT. BUT THEN GOING INTO MEXICO, THIS THING STAYS WAY SOUTH OF NEW ORLEANS. LITTLE WORRY THAT I’VE GOT TO IT. AND EVEN FORECAST DATA SHOWING THAT AS WELL. IT’S 95 L. THIS IS THE ONE THAT OVER A LONG RANGE COULD BE DOING SOMETHING. THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER HAS THE TRACK ALL THE WAY TO THE LESSER ANTILLES AND EASTERN CARIBBEAN. FROM A LONG WAYS FROM NOW, BUT ONE THING THIS SYSTEM WILL HAVE TO FIGHT FIRST IS A DRY AIR LAYER OF SAHARAN DUST. SO YOU CAN SEE THE FORECAST DATA OF SOME OF OUR BEST DATA IS STILL UNDER THIS DUST LAYER, BUT STILL COULD SHOW SOME SLOW, GRADUAL POSSIBLE ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT AND THIS FORECAST TAKES IT TO JUST OUTSIDE OF THE LESSER ANTILLES. THE CARIBBEAN AND SHOWS IT DEVELOPING POTENTIALLY BY ABOUT SUNDAY. THEN GETTING INTO THE CARIBBEAN AS WE GET INTO NEXT WEEK AND POSSIBLE MORE ORGANIZATION AND STRENGTHENING. THIS IS A LONG WAYS FROM NOW AND YOU CAN STILL SEE EVEN BY THEN. IT’S A LONG WAYS FROM US. WE WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP YOU UPDATED ON THAT SYSTEM. THERE’S A LONG WAYS TO GO BACK UP AND CLOSER TO HOME. WHAT’S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW? SYSTEMS THAT HAVE ACTUALLY DEVELOPED FROM STRONG STORM ACTIVITY AND OFF A COLD FRONT COMING THROUGH THE MIDWEST. THIS COULD FINALLY TRY TO BREAK OUR HEAT. THE BEST SHORT TERM DATA SHOWING UP PRETTY WELL. SO I’LL SHOW YOU THIS ONE FIRST. THOSE STORMS MAY HOLD IN AKERS RUDOCK. ONCE AGAIN, YOU MIGHT GET A LATE STORM, BUT MORE STORMS COULD BE DEVELOPING LATE TONIGHT AS THAT ENERGY MOVES OUR WAY. FORECAST DATA TO CONSISTENT IN SHOWING IT COULD BE HERE IN THE MORNING HOURS AS WELL. THAT COULD BE DEALING WITH YOUR MORNING COMMUTE. METEOROLOGIST DAMON SINGLETON WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH IT. WE COULD BE LOOKING AT SEVERAL INCHES OF RAIN. I WOULD SAY PREPARE FOR A SLOWER MORNING COMMUTE TOMORROW AS THOSE STORMS COULD BE HERE, BUT IT WILL BRING MORNING TEMPERATURES DOWN AND THROUGHOUT THE DAY THERE’S A CHANCE OF STORMS. BUT WE FEEL THE HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL FINALLY BE DOWN ENOUGH TO TRULY BREAK THIS PARTICULAR ROUND OF HEAT. I STILL HAVE US AT 90, BUT NOT AS BAD AS WHERE IT’S BEEN. BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE HEAT’S RIGHT BACK TO THE WEEKEND. THE NEXT WEEK COULD BE MORE HEAT ADVISORIES AND HEAT WARNINGS.
