Flash Flood Warning for Tangipahoa
Heavy rain is resulting in flash flooding
CAMPAIGNS FOR PRESIDENT. IN 1984 AND 1988. TIME NOW IS 615, AND WE DO WANT TO TURN OUR ATTENTION ONCE AGAIN TO YOUR WDSU FIRST WARNING WEATHER FORECAST, BECAUSE AS YOU JUST SAW POP UP RIGHT THERE, WE ARE UNDER A WDSU WEATHER IMPACT DAY. AND THAT IS REALLY BECAUSE YOUR EYES ESPECIALLY ARE PEELED ON THE SKIES FOR THESE INCOMING STORM CHANCES. YEAH, WE HAVE TO. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO WATCH SUNDAY TOMORROW TOO. THERE COULD BE SOME MORE WET WEATHER IN THE FORECAST, SO WE’RE GOING TO KEEP THE WEATHER IMPACT DAY NOT JUST FOR TODAY, BUT ALSO IT LOOKS LIKE THROUGHOUT THE DAY TOMORROW. SO JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE WITH YOU ALL, BUT HERE’S WHERE WE STAND RIGHT NOW FROM WDSU FIRST WARNING DOPPLER RADAR. AND YOU SEE A LOT OF US LOOKING PRETTY DRY, PRETTY QUIET. BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME SPOTTY DOWNPOURS IN SOME LOCATIONS, SUCH AS WEST BANK HERE, JUST SOUTH OF THE WESTERN METRO, HEADING TOWARDS THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF I-10 AND KENNER HERE, PROBABLY WITHIN THE NEXT 20 30 MINUTES IF IT HOLDS TOGETHER, BUT TOWARDS THE NORTH SHORE, LOOKING AT SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AND SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS AT TIMES TOO. THIS IS ALL TRACKING ITS WAY TOWARDS THE NORTH AS WELL. CHECK OUT WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. WE DO HAVE SOME UPPER LEVEL IMPULSES OF ENERGY MOVING THROUGH, WHICH IS WHY WE’RE SEEING A LOT OF MOISTURE. AND AT THE SURFACE, WE’VE GOT A SOUTHEAST WIND COMING UP FROM THE GULF. THAT WARM, MOIST AIR IS REALLY HELPING TO AID SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS JUST OUT AHEAD OF THIS COLD FRONT THAT’S ALSO APPROACHING US. WE’RE NOT EXPECTING THAT FRONT TO MOVE THROUGH, BUT THERE’S ANOTHER ONE COMING, WHICH WE’LL GET TO HERE LATER IN THE FORECAST TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. YOU SEE THAT THERE IS A LEVEL TWO SLIGHT RISK HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW OF SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS MUCH OF THE DEEP SOUTH AND EVEN AS FAR NORTH AS TOWARDS THE NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES AS WELL. FOR US, WE’RE UNDER THAT LEVEL ONE MARGINAL THREAT FOR ALL OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA AND SOUTH MISSISSIPPI. NOW, THAT MEANS THAT ISOLATED, STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE. I THINK THE MAIN THREATS THAT WE HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR ARE DAMAGING GUSTY WINDS AT TIMES. MAYBE SOME HAIL. FLOODING IS ALSO LOOKING PRETTY LOW. I REALLY BUMPED DOWN THE TORNADO RISK TO VIRTUALLY NOTHING. SO I THINK REALLY WE JUST HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR SOME DAMAGING GUSTS, MAYBE SOME HAIL, SOME FLOODING. WE’LL TALK ABOUT IT, BUT HERE’S A QUICK CHECK AT THE FLASH FLOOD RISK TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. THAT’S CURRENTLY A LEVEL ONE MARGINAL THREAT FOR MOST LOCATIONS. AND THE SAME GOES AS WE HEAD INTO THE DAY TOMORROW. SO LET’S TIME THINGS OUT ON FUTURECAST. AND YOU SEE AGAIN A COUPLE OF SPOTTY SHOWERS AND A COUPLE OF DOWNPOURS AS WE GO TO THE 8:00 HOUR. AGAIN MAINLY FOCUSED TO THE NORTH THOUGH. BUT HERE’S MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. THAT’S WHEN THAT MAIN LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS BEGINS TO APPROACH US. AND YOU SEE IT REALLY IMPACTING THE NORTH SHORE BY THAT POINT. BUT BY 4:00 IN THE MORNING, IT DOES BEGIN TO EXPAND AND MOVE SOUTH. SO MORE NUMEROUS WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS IN THE FORECAST BY THAT POINT, INCLUDING SOUTH MISSISSIPPI. AGAIN, THAT’S AROUND 4:00. AND THEN BY 7:00, ALL THE SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE PRETTY MUCH GONE BY THAT POINT. BUT THERE COULD BE ANOTHER PIECE OF ENERGY MOVING THROUGH THAT COULD GIVE WAY TO MORE SHOWERS AND A COUPLE OF STORMS BY 9:00, MAINLY FOCUSED WEST. YOU SEE IT TOUCHING THE RIVER PARISHES AND WESTERN METRO, BUT BY 1:00 IN THE DAY IT DOES BEGIN TO SUBSIDE. 4:00 BY YOU TOWARDS THE COAST, LOOKING AT A COUPLE OF LIGHT SHOWERS, MAYBE A COUPLE STORMS THAT MAY GO UNTIL 6:00 IN THE EVENING. SO THAT’S WHY WE’RE STILL KEEPING THE RAIN CHANCES THERE IN THE FORECAST IN GENERAL, BEFORE IT ALL CLEARS OUT. BY 9:00 IN THE EVENING. SO 1 TO 2IN OF RAIN WITH LOCALLY HIGHER TOTALS CAN’T BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT OF THE PICTURE EITHER. AND AGAIN, THAT’S GREAT NEWS FOR THE DROUGHT. WE REALLY COULD USE THE RAIN. WE’RE LOOKING AT SEVERE TO EXTREME DROUGHT CONDITIONS TOWARDS THE BAYOU AND THE COAST. MODERATE DROUGHT CONDITIONS MAINLY FOCUS TOWARDS THE NORTH SHORE. TODAY’S HIGH TEMPERATURE. LOOK AT THIS. IT WAS 83. THE RECORD TODAY WAS 83. SO WE TIED IT BACK IN 1974. LOW THIS MORNING 72. ALSO PRETTY WARM TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW MID TO UPPER 70S I GOT HIGHS TOMORROW INTO THE UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S AGAIN. THAT’S GOING TO BE IN THE FUTURE THROUGH WEDNESDAY. AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENS HERE DOWN TO 67 THURSDAY LOW 70S ON FRIDAY. THAT IS FROM A COLD FRONT THAT’S FORECAST TO PUSH THROUGH SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA. YOU SEE IT HERE AS WE GO INTO AROUND MIDWEEK. THERE’S THAT FRONT OUT AHEAD OF IT. COULD BE PRETTY STORMY. AND THEN BEHIND IT WE ARE TURNIN
