Hello, friends. I'm meteorologist Jim Scan right here in the W DS U first warning weather center with *** noon time ish weather update for you. We're very dry right now. We're going to stay very, very dry today tomorrow, Friday, even through the weekend. But there are going to be *** couple of changes happening for us once we get to Saturday and especially Sunday should be feeling *** little more comfortable heat advisory officially in effect today, likely going to have *** heat advisory in effect all the way through Friday. But let's go to the tropics because something happening tropically anyway, is actually going to change our weather *** little bit this weekend. It's not what you're looking at right now. *** couple of tropical waves in the intertropical convergence zone, no organization there. According to the hurricane center, small chance for organization here. Tropical wave that's moving through the Caribbean. I don't think this is going to develop into anything and neither is the hurricane center quite frankly, 0% chance for development over the next couple of days, 10% chance for development over the next seven days and any of that moisture, any of that rain it looks like was going to stay well to the south of us and I'll show you why that is in *** second. There is Debbie actually got out over water again and getting *** little bit stronger tropical storm Debbie now moving to the northeast at five winds at 60 MPH. But the forecast track has it moving much more quickly to the north and to the northeast by the end of the week and the weekend. And as that happens, we're still going to have high pressure at the mid and upper levels of the atmosphere controlling our weather. But on the backside of Debbie, we think some drier air is going to move in. That means the humidity is going to be *** little bit lower. Our temperature is also going to be *** little more comfortable. Once we get to the weekend, we're not going to see much rain over the next few days. Let's take you hour by hour, going to go from noon until six o'clock. First of all, you see some three digit temperatures, we know we're going to be close to 100 in *** lot of spots today. But if you're looking for rain, we're just not picking up on any as we go overnight. Skies should be mainly clear for us tomorrow morning. Upper 70 for the North shore, close to 80 everywhere else and look for rain tomorrow afternoon. Where is it? I can find it, it's not there. That's because the chance for rain tomorrow, it's *** 10% officially. Unofficially, probably less than 10%. And the high temperature again, tomorrow should be close to 100 heat advisory. Today. It will be *** bit breezy winds from the northwest at about 10 MPH. Still hot through Friday. Lower humidity for the weekend back to the mid nineties by Sunday. So it should feel just *** touch more comfortable but hot nonetheless. And the chance for rain going up to 30% by Tuesday. That's your forecast right here on W DS u.com. Join us on the TV. As we like to say, our next newscast is at five o'clock. Then another at six and then another at 10 pm tonight, we'll see you hopefully on the TV. So long now.

A tropical wave close to the Windward Islands is not well organized, and The National Huricane Center now says it has no chance for development over the next 7 days. The system is moving quickly westward at around 20 mph, and is expected to move through the Western Caribbean later this week. Moisture from this system will likely be over The Yucatan Friday, then move into Mexico late Sunday and Monday. Regardless of what's to come, the WDSU First Warning Weather Team will keep you informed on every piece of new information between now and then.
