DUNCAN WDSU NEWS. SHOULD BE EXCITING OUT THERE. WDSU FIRST WARNING WEATHER YOU CAN SEE PONTCHARTRAIN CONSERVANCY CAM BEHIND ME RIGHT NOW. SKIES ARE CLOUDY, BUT WE DON’T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF RAIN JUST YET. BUT WDSU FIRST WARNING WEATHER DOPPLER RADAR IS WHERE WE START, AND THIS DOES SHOW THAT WE’VE GOT SOME RAIN THAT’S THERE, MOST OF US TO THE SOUTH SHORE HAVEN’T SEEN A WHOLE LOT IN THE CITY JUST YET. BUT YOU CAN SEE THIS IS JUST THE FIRST ROUND OF THE RAIN TO MOVE IN A LOT MORE. THIS IS GOING TO BE COMING, ESPECIALLY LATER ON TONIGHT. LET’S SEE. WE’VE GOT THE SHOWERS. LET’S HEAD JUST SOUTH SOUTHEAST OF NEW ORLEANS HERE, REGGIO HOPEDALE DELACRO GETTING SOME SHOWERS. LOOKS TO BE ONE WAVE OF SOME HEFTY DOWNPOURS. JUST MOVE THROUGH. NO LIGHTNING WITHIN IT. HAD BEL AIR LINES. DIDN’T GET THE RAIN THAT WAS THROUGH. LIGHT RAIN. NOW COMING UP, SOME PARTS OF THE WEST BANK TO MAYBE THE SOUTH PARTS OF MARRERO WE’RE LOOKING BORG, VALENTINE, LOCKPORT, HOMA AREA ALL IN GETTING A LITTLE BIT OF SOME DOWNPOUR ACTIVITY. BUT AGAIN, NO LIGHTNING HERE. BUT I’VE JUST STARTED TO SEE A FEW MORE LIGHTNING STRIKES THAT ARE STARTING TO SHOW UP JUST OFF SHORE IN JUST SOUTHWEST OF TERREBONNE PARISH. THERE, AS YOU GOT REAL TIME TEMPERATURES, ANYWHERE FROM 56 TO GALLIANO, 60 STILL HERE IN TOWN. AS WE LOOK INTO THE FUTURE FOR US, WHAT WE GOT COMING OUR WAY IS GOING TO BE THIS STORM SYSTEM RAMPING UP. RIGHT NOW, IT’S ALL ABOUT THE WARM FRONT CAN MAKE ITS WAY FAR ENOUGH NORTH IN THAT AREA OF LOW PRESSURE TO BRING US A CHANCE OF SOME STRONGER STORMS. LATEST HIGH RES DATA THAT WE’RE GOING TO GET TO JUST QUICKLY IS GOING TO SHOW MOST OF THAT STAYING OFFSHORE. ONCE THE STORMS ARE THROUGH TONIGHT, THEN IT’S A HUGE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURES AND DO NOT BE CAUGHT OFF GUARD TOMORROW. IT’S GOING TO BE MUCH, MUCH COLDER THAN TODAY. THIS HIGH RES FORECAST LINES UP PRETTY WELL TO SHOW THIS FIRST WAVE WILL BE MOVING INTO NEW ORLEANS THROUGH THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO. TONIGHT. 10:00 THIS IS WHERE WE LOOK FOR THE HEAVIER POCKETS OF RAIN POSSIBLE EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS TO MOVE THROUGH, AND WE’LL DO THIS ALL NIGHT LONG OVERNIGHT, 1 A.M., 2 A.M., THREE IN THE MORNING. THERE’S THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT. YOU SEE THE CHANGE IN THE WIND ARROWS RIGHT HERE. THAT’S THE COLD FRONT COMING THROUGH. WE WON’T SHUT THE RAIN OFF TILL WE GET TO ABOUT SUNRISE, BUT WE WON’T SEE THROUGH THE CLOUDS AT ABOUT SEVEN IN THE MORNING. HOW MUCH RAIN ARE WE LOOKING AT? WIDESPREAD 1 TO 2IN OF RAIN IS LIKELY ALONG THE COAST. THERE COULD BE SOME POCKETS OF 2 TO 3 INCH RAIN TOTALS, IF NOT A LITTLE HIGHER. IT’S GOING TO BE THE RAIN THREAT FOR LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING THAT TOPS OUR THREAT LIST. IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE, THERE’S A VERY SMALL RISK OF SEVERE STORMS. IT WAS DOWNGRADED, PUSHED A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH BY THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HERE TODAY. BUT IT’S A LITTLE BIT MORE UNUSUAL. WHAT WE’RE FINDING IS THAT THIS IS MAYBE A RISK FOR SOME HAIL AND STRONG WIND GUSTS. TORNADO THREAT JUST ISN’T GOING TO HAPPEN. THAT AREA OF LOW PRESSURE AND SPIN, GETTING INTO AN AREA THAT WOULD GIVE US A CHANCE OF LOW END, WEAK, ISOLATED TORNADOES IS GOING TO REMAIN OFFSHORE, BUT WE COULD GET SOME HAIL OUT OF THIS. IT’S STILL A LOW CHANCE. HEAVY RAIN, LOCALIZED FLOODING STILL TOP THE THREAT LIST LATE TONIGHT. HAIL, ONE INCH COMING IN AND MAYBE A STRONG WIND GUST HERE TO IT. SO THAT’S AN IMPACT DAY FOR SURE. WET ROADS ON YOUR MORNING DRIVE. SO GIVE YOURSELF SOME EXTRA TIME. CHECK IN METEOROLOGIST RICHARD BRANDI B.HARRIS. LET’S DISCUSS THE TEMPERATURES CHANGE BECAUSE IT WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM MORNING TO THE AFTERNOON. IT’S WHAT I CALL THESE BACKWARDS DAYS. WE LOOK AT 60 DEGREE TEMPS BY ABOUT 630. THAT FRONT’S COMING THROUGH. WE’RE AT 55. WATCH WHAT HAPPENS. BY THE AFTERNOON, WE DROP TO 47. SO THE ACTUAL HIGH FOR THE DAY IS GOING TO BE JUST PAST MIDNIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL START TO DROP THROUGHOUT THE DAY, SO DO NOT BE CAUGHT OFF GUARD. MAKE SURE YOU GOT YOUR HEAVIER COATS ALONG WITH RAIN GEAR GETTING THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS AS WELL, BUT BE PREPARED FOR THE STRONGER WINDS, ADDING IN A WIND CHILL TO THE DAY TOMORROW. DO WE SEE ANY SUNSHINE? I DON’T THINK WE DO, SO IT’S KIND OF A NASTY DAY, BEGINNING WITH RAIN, WET ROADS AND THEN COMES IN THE DEEP CHILL. THE ARCTIC BLAST LOWS INTO THURSDAY 20 TO THE NORTH SHORE, FREEZING RIGHT HERE IN TOWN. AT LEAST WE GET A SUNNY DAY TO ARRIVE ON THURSDAY, BUT IT IS GOING TO BE COLD. TOP TEMPS ONLY GOING INTO THE 40S. WE GOT SOME STRONG WINDS WITH THERE TO MAKE SOME BAD MARINE CONDITIONS FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS WELL. JUST TO BE AWARE, INTO FRIDAY COULD BE AS COLD AS 20 FOR THOSE THAT ARE GOING TO BE BORDERING THE MISSISSIPPI BORDER IN THE NORTH SHORE. SO SEVERAL IMPACT DAYS TO COME FROM THE HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL TONIGHT. AGAIN, THAT DROP DOWN ARROW RIGHT THERE IS THE MIDNIGHT HIGH IMPACT DAYS TO COME. THEN FOR THE COLD LEADING INTO THE WEEKEN
