OF COURSE, THAT’S GOING TO BE A CLASSIC INDEED. HEY, IT IS THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN WHEN THINGS START HEATING UP AND THEN WE START TALKING ABOUT SOME SEVERE WEATHER. AND YES, WE DO HAVE THAT ON THE WAY FOR US. SO LOOKING AT THAT THREAT FOR LATE WEDNESDAY INTO OUR THURSDAY, WE ARE UNDER THAT LEVEL ONE AND LEVEL TWO RISK AS OF RIGHT NOW. WE’LL SEE IF THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER DOES CHANGE IT AS WE DO GET A LITTLE CLOSER. IN THE MEANTIME, LET ME GET YOU OUT THE DOOR. RIGHT NOW WE ARE LOOKING AT A LITTLE BIT OF FOG. THIS IS MOSTLY GOING TO BE FOR THE SLIDELL AREA ON UP. SO PORTIONS OF THE NORTH SHORE, SOUTH SHORE STARTING TO SEE A DROP A LITTLE BIT STARTING TO SEE A DROP. AT LEAST THE CENTER OUT IN BELLE CHASSE THIS MORNING. BUT I DO NOT HAVE A DENSE FOG ADVISORY. HERE’S YOUR TEMPERATURES. TEMPERATURES ARE RIGHT AT THE TYPICAL HIGH FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. WE’RE INTO THE UPPER 60S, LOWER 70S OUT THERE. IT’S ALREADY WARM FOR YOU AND YOU KNOW IT’S GOING TO BE. WE CAN ALMOST CALL THIS BORDERLINE HOT ALMOST. BUT LOOKING AT THE LOW TO MID 80S FOR HIGHS FOR TODAY. AND DO NOT BE SURPRISED IF A FEW OF US ACTUALLY BREAK SOME RECORDS OUT. THERE. IS THAT TYPE OF DAY. WE COULD EVEN SEE THAT SAME THING FOR TOMORROW. THEN WITH THE THREAT OF SOME STORMS COMING, WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN? HUMIDITY LEVELS ARE GOING TO GO DOWN. THAT’S JUST GOING TO BE TEMPORARY BEFORE IT GOES RIGHT BACK UP. AS WE GET INTO THE WEEKEND. BUT AT LEAST THE WEEKEND WILL BE GOOD FOR THE PARADES. NOW LET’S GET BACK TO THAT SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR US. SINCE WE DON’T HAVE ANY RAIN FOR TODAY. SO LOOKING AT THAT LEVEL ONE AND LEVEL TWO THREAT FOR THE UPPER PORTIONS OF THE NORTH SHORE. SO LET’S TIME THIS OUT FOR YOU AS WE ARE GETTING THROUGHOUT OUR DAY ON WEDNESDAY, MOST OF THE DAY LOOKS FINE. NOW AHEAD OF THIS MAIN LINE, WE COULD SEE A COUPLE OF POP UPS. THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT WE DO NEED TO WATCH. THAT WILL BE FOR THE LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS. THAT’S 5 P.M. BUT HERE’S THAT STRONG LINE THAT’S MOVING IN. THIS IS GOING TO BE AFTER 11 P.M., THE FIRST BITS OF IT, AND THEN IT MOVES TO NEW ORLEANS. SLIDELL RIGHT AROUND MIDNIGHT FOR US. YOU SEE HOW IT’S LINING UP WITH IN HERE? WE COULD HAVE SOME EMBEDDED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS, STRONG TO SEVERE MAIN IMPACTS FOR US. I DO BELIEVE GOING TO BE SOME STRONG WINDS OUT THERE. SO SOME WINDS UP TO 60MPH, MAYBE EVEN A LITTLE MORE. BUT LOOK WHAT TIME THIS STARTS TO MOVE UP. THIS IS 2 A.M. SO IT’S OUT OF HERE BEFORE THAT MAIN MORNING COMMUTE FOR A LOT OF US. AND BACK BEHIND IT WILL BE SOME MUCH COOLER AIR. SO TEMPERATURES THAT WILL BE YOUR MAIN DIFFERENCE FOR YOU AS YOU ARE GETTING STARTED. SO AGAIN, THAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN FOR YOU AS WE DO GET TO OUR VERY EARLY EARLY HOURS OF THURSDAY. THAT’S MOVING ON OUT. AND THEN AFTER THAT THINGS WILL BE FINE FOR US. NOW, AS FAR AS HOW MUCH RAIN WE’RE GOING TO SEE, WELL, WE COULD GET SOME HEAVY RAIN WITH THIS. SO NORTH SHORE, I KNOW YOU’VE ALREADY HAD A LOT OF HEAVY RAIN OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. WE DO HAVE SOME MORE THAT IS ON THE WAY. WE COULD HAVE ABOUT AN INCH, MAYBE EVEN MORE THAN THAT AT TIMES. SO HEAVY DOWNPOURS POSSIBLE. STRONG WINDS, ALSO, ISOLATED TORNADOES CANNOT RULE THAT OUT BECAUSE I MEAN, YESTERDAY WE EVEN HAD A COUPLE OF TORNADO WARNINGS JUST TO THE NORTH OF US AND JUST TO THE WEST OF US. SO WE CAN NEVER RULE THAT OUT, ESPECIALLY FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. IN THE MEANTIME, TODAY, HIGHS INTO THE MID 80S. SAME FOR TOMORROW. IMPACT DAYS FOR LATE WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY THURSDAY BECAUSE OF THE STORMS. THEN LOOK
