Close to document heat with rising rain possibilities!

Excessive temperatures approaching information late week into the weekend together with slowly rising rain possibilities.

APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WELL, TEMPERATURES AREN’T THE ONLY THING THAT WE’RE HEATING UP THIS MORNING. THE SKY ON FIRE WITH THE TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE. THIS WAS THE FULL BLOOD MOON. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS PICTURE. THIS WAS FROM TIFFANY. CHAUVIN IS WHERE THE PICTURE WAS TAKEN. TIFFANY. TERRY. ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOTS OF THE MORNING. IF YOU CAPTURED THE TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE, PLEASE SEND YOUR PHOTOS OUR WAY. THIS PHENOMENON THIS MORNING BETWEEN 504 AND 6:02 A.M. TRULY REMARKABLE. IF YOU DIDN’T HAVE THE CLOUDS AND THE FOG TO CONTEND WITH, A LITTLE BIT LESS FOG ON THE WAY TOMORROW. BUT MAN, THE TEMPERATURES ARE OUR BIG STORY. TEMPS 5 TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. NOW WE DO HAVE SOME UPCOMING RAIN CHANCES, WITH THE POLLEN COUNT STARTING TO SPIKE. WE NEED SOME RAIN TO DAMPEN THE POLLEN AND TO HELP WITH THE ONGOING DROUGHT. TODAY. NOT MUCH IN THE RAINFALL DEPARTMENT. TEMPERATURES UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S TOMORROW. SIMILAR IN STATURE. UPPER 70S LOW 80S. I DON’T THINK THAT WE’RE GOING TO BE APPROACHING RECORDS TOMORROW, BUT BY THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND INTO THE WEEKEND, IT’S GOING TO BE AWFULLY CLOSE. THURSDAY, THE RECORD HIGH 83 FORECASTING 82. FRIDAY 83. THE RECORDS AT 85. SATURDAY IS THE DAY WHERE WE’RE CURRENTLY FORECASTING A BREAK IN THE RECORD, WITH A PROJECTED HIGH OF 84. NOW I KNOW I’M NOT ALONE. SOME OF YOU AT HOME PROBABLY FEELING THE IMPACTS OF THE ALLERGIES, THE POLLEN COUNT NOW HIGH ACROSS THE GULF COAST WITH HIGH TREE POLLEN THANKS TO THE ABNORMALLY WARM TEMPERATURES LATE WINTER AND EXPECT WITH MORE WARMTH ON THE WAY THAT THIS POLLEN COUNT COULD REACH EXTREME LEVELS. AND YOU’LL START TO GET THAT NICE COAT OF YELLOW ON YOUR CAR WITH THE TREES, THE FLOWERS, AND THE GRASSES ALL IN FULL BLOOM HERE SHORTLY AS WE GO TOWARDS THE DAY TOMORROW. ONE THING I’M WATCHING FOR IS A BIG BUMP UP IN HUMIDITY, AND BECAUSE OF THAT, I THINK THAT WE’RE GOING TO SEE A COUPLE OF SPOTTY STORMS OUT THERE. WILL IT BE WIDESPREAD? LIKELY NOT, BUT 1 OR 2 SPOTTY STORMS, ESPECIALLY FOR WESTERN ZONES AND PARTS OF TERREBONNE, LAFOURCHE AND OVER TOWARDS LIVINGSTON PARISH. THAT’S WHERE WE COULD SEE A BIT MORE ACTION TOMORROW AND I THINK MORE SPOTTY TO SCATTERED STORMS EXPECTED ON THURSDAY. RIGHT NOW, FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND INTO SUNDAY LOOKS TO BE THE DAYS THAT WE COULD SEE MORE SCATTERED TO POSSIBLY NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS. RIGHT NOW, THE JET STREAM IS STILL TOWARDS OUR NORTH, AND THAT’S WHERE THE STORM TRACK IS GOING TO BRING A LOT OF RAIN AND POSSIBLE SEVERE WEATHER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. BUT FOR US ALONG THE GULF COAST, I THINK OUR RAIN CHANCES REALLY START TO GET GOING BY THE END OF THE WEEK. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE EUROPEAN MODEL. YOU CAN SEE FRIDAY SOME SCATTERED STORMS, MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON. THEN BY SATURDAY A FRONT TRIES TO APPROACH THE AREA. THAT COULD BRING SOME INCREASED RAIN CHANCES LATE SATURDAY. AND AS THE FRONT KIND OF WASHES OUT ON SUNDAY, I’VE GOT SUNDAY WITH A BETTER OPPORTUNITY FOR RAIN AS WELL. HOW MUCH RAIN ARE WE TALKING? BECAUSE SOME OF US IN THE BUCKET ARE RUNNING CLOSE TO THREE FIVE PLUS INCHES BELOW NORMAL. WE NEED MORE THAN THIS, BUT WE’LL TAKE ANY DROPS WE CAN GET THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS, A HALF OF AN INCH TO AN INCH AND A HALF OF RAIN IS PROJECTED HIGHS. THEY’RE GOING TO BE VERY WARM. STAYING IN THE LOW 80S, POSSIBLY THE MID 80S BY FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. AND TRAVIS KEEPING AN EYE ON THE FORECAST SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. RIGHT NOW 30 TO 40% CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS. BUT THOSE NUMBERS COU
