P.M. YOUR TIME RIGHT NOW IS 945. AND IF YOU SLEPT IN TODAY, YOU MISSED A LOT OF WEATHER. 5:00 WE WERE TRACKING A LOT OF THUNDERSTORMS THAT WAS IN THE NORTH SHORE, MADE ITS WAY TO THE METRO AFTER SIX. LET’S GO BACK IN TIME STARTING AT 545 THIS MORNING. WE HAD A NUMBER OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS, TORNADO WARNINGS, NO REPORTS OF A CONFIRMED TORNADO, BUT THOSE GUSTY WINDS, AS AUBREY’S BEEN TELLING YOU, PROVIDED FOR SOME POWER OUTAGES IN MANY LOCATIONS. NOW THINGS ARE GETTING MUCH, MUCH, MUCH QUIETER. PLAQUEMINES PARISH STILL SEEING SOME OF THE RAIN, BUT THAT THUNDERSTORM WEAKENING SIGNIFICANTLY. STILL A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHTNING THERE. BUT EVEN THIS AFTERNOON, I THINK WE’RE GOING TO GET A FEW MORE SHOWERS, ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS POPPING UP. HERE ARE YOUR TEMPERATURES. WHEN THE 60S IN MOST LOCATIONS 67 HAMMOND 69 BATON ROUGE, GRAND ISLE, YOU’RE AT 71 RIGHT NOW. LET’S TAKE YOU HOUR BY HOUR THROUGH THE DAY TODAY. THERE’S THE AREA OF RAIN WHICH IS EXITING NOW. THE ATMOSPHERE IS STILL SOMEWHAT UNSTABLE AND IT’S OBVIOUSLY VERY, VERY MOIST. WHEN YOU STEP OUTSIDE, YOU’LL NOTICE IT’S MUGGY. HIGH TEMPERATURE TODAY IS GOING TO MAKE IT TO THE MID 80S, BUT WE’RE STILL GOING TO HAVE A FEW OF THESE SHOWERS. HERE WE ARE ABOUT THE NOON HOUR PASSING THINGS HERE ABOUT TWO 230 PICKING UP ON SOME OF THE RAIN. ACTUALLY THIS IS 4:00. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE GOING TO POP BACK UP FOR US. SO IF YOU’RE GOING TO JAZZ FEST, GOING TO THE ZURICH CLASSIC, BE READY FOR THE POSSIBILITY THAT YOU MAY HAVE AN ADDITIONAL SHOWER BY 8:00 HERE. MOST OF THE RAIN SHOULD BE WRAPPING UP, BUT A COUPLE OF THOSE SHOWERS MAY CONTAIN SOME BRIEF HEAVY DOWNPOURS. NOW, ON SUNDAY, WE’RE GOING TO SEE A FEW MORE SHOWERS IN THE AFTERNOON, AND THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER IS STILL SAYING THAT SUNDAY AFTERNOON, EVEN THOUGH IT’S NOT GOING TO BE WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY, 1 OR 2 OF THESE STORMS COULD BE ON THE STRONG SIDE. LOOKS LIKE THE BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN AS WE LOOK TOWARDS SUNDAY BETWEEN ABOUT TWO AND SAY 5:00, 530, 6:00. AFTER THAT, THE RAIN SHOULD BE RECEDING, SHOULD BE ENDING IN MOST LOCATIONS, BUT THAT SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK FROM THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER DOES INCLUDE THE NORTH SHORE KIND OF CLIPPING THE METRO. IT’S ONLY A MARGINAL RISK, BUT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY THAT ONE OF THE STORMS TOMORROW AFTERNOON COULD BE A LITTLE BIT ON THE STRONG SIDE. I DON’T THINK IT’S GOING TO BE ANYTHING LIKE WE HAD EARLIER TODAY. SCATTERED AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. CHANCE FOR RAIN AT 40% THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE IN THE MID 80S. AND I THINK THE CLOUDS ARE GOING TO BREAK UP A BIT FOR US AS WE GET TO THE LATE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE ENDING RELATIVELY EARLY TONIGHT AS WE START IN THE UPPER 60S, CLOSE TO 70, AND THEN TOMORROW, 40% CHANCE AGAIN FOR AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING SHOWERS, WITH A SOUTHERLY WIND AT ABOUT 5 TO 10. ONE OF THE STORMS TOMORROW COULD BE A BIT ON THE STRONG SIDE. CHANCE FOR RAIN GOES DOWN A LITTLE BIT FOR US MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THEN AS WE GET TO THE END OF THE WEEK, WE HAVE A COLD FRONT THAT’S GOING TO BE GETTING CLOSE. WE’LL BE TRACKING IT FOR THE POSSIBILIT
