AT THE TIME. AGAIN, A LOT OF SEVERE WEATHER THERE FROM MOTHER NATURE. FORTUNATELY, WE’RE NOT EXPERIENCING THIS HERE AT HOME, BUT MANY OF YOU MIGHT BE SEEING A RAIN DROP. 1 OR 2 ON THOSE LENSES. YOU’VE GOT THE DARKENING OF THE CLOUDS OUT THERE AS WELL. YES, INDEED. AND YOU KNOW, IF YOU DO SEE SOME RAIN, IT’S PROBABLY GOING TO MOVE OFF IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES OR SO. SO NOT LASTING VERY LONG. BUT TOMORROW, HOWEVER, THAT’S WHEN THINGS WILL START TO GET BUSIER. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE MANNING FAMILY CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL CAMERA. YOU CAN SEE THE CLOUDS HAVE REALLY JUST ROLLED IN AND YOU KNOW, IT’S A LITTLE BIT OF A BREEZE OUT THERE. BUT RANDI WAS TALKING ABOUT THOSE STORMS JUST UP TO THE NORTH OF US. WELL, HERE’S WHERE THAT SYSTEM IS RIGHT NOW. IT’S CONTINUING TO PUSH ITS WAY ON THROUGH OKLAHOMA, THROUGH PORTIONS OF ARKANSAS. AND SO FOR US, THOUGH, WE ACTUALLY DO HAVE SOME RAIN ON RADAR, WE GOT TO GO LIKE SUPER CLOSE IN ORDER TO SEE IT. BUT MOST OF US, AT LEAST THE BIGGER PICTURE, MOST OF US ARE DRY, BUT WE HAVE SEEN SOME SHOWERS MOVING THROUGH. NOW, A LOT OF THESE AREN’T LASTING VERY LONG AT ALL. WE’RE WATCHING THESE, NOT EVEN SEEING ANY LIGHTNING WITH THEM. NOW WE’RE LOOKING AT SOME OUT TOWARDS THE AIRPORT, MOVING OVER LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN RIGHT NOW, SO NOT QUITE OVER THE CAUSEWAY THOUGH, BUT WE’RE ABOUT TO HIT THE CAUSEWAY IN ABOUT 1520 MINUTES OR SO. YOU’LL PROBABLY SEE THE STORMS OFF OR THE SHOWERS OFF INTO THE DISTANCE. HERE’S A LOOK AT YOUR TEMPERATURES. WE’RE INTO THE MID TO UPPER 80S RIGHT NOW. IT IS HOT, BUT I WILL SAY I WAS SITTING OUTSIDE NOT TOO LONG AGO. WE HAD SOME CLOUDS OVER US AND THE BREEZE WAS GOING AND ACTUALLY FELT OKAY. TODAY’S HIGH IS EXPECTED TO BE VERY CLOSE TO 90. LOOKING AT THE UPPER 80S TO A COUPLE OF LOWER 90S OUT THERE FOR YOU, 90 FOR GALLIANO, THAT IS A POSSIBILITY. 91 FOR BOGALUSA. IF YOU’RE NOT THERE, YOU’LL BE FLIRTING WITH 90 DEGREES. AT LEAST THIS IS HOW IT ACTUALLY FEELS ACROSS THE AREA. SO PUT SOME MORE TEMPERATURES ON HERE FOR YOU. JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA. FEELS LIKE 95 UP IN BOGALUSA. FEELS LIKE PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE INTO THE LOWER 90S. NOW WE’RE GOING TO BUMP UP AT LEAST TO THE MID 90S FOR HOW WE DO FEEL FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON ON INTO THE EVENING. NOW, AS FAR AS THAT RAINFALL GOES, WE WILL STILL SEE A FEW SHOWERS AS WE’RE GETTING INTO THE NEXT FEW HOURS, BUT TODAY DOESN’T LOOK TO BE THE GREATEST OF CHANCES. WE COULD SEE EVEN MORE UP NEAR TANGIPAHOA PARISH THIS EVENING, BUT VERY WELL MAY JUST STAY OFF TO THE WEST. BUT THEN AS WE GET INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS VERY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING, LATEST UPDATES FROM OUR HIGH RESOLUTION MODEL SHOWING. OKAY, WE COULD SEE SOME RAIN FOR TOMORROW MORNING’S COMMUTE. DOESN’T LOOK LIKE A WHOLE LOT THOUGH, BUT WE COULD BE SEEING SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS FOR THAT. SO WE’LL KEEP AN UPDATE ON THAT. AND THEN ONCE WE GET BACK TO THE AFTERNOON MORE, THOSE STORMS WILL START TO FIRE UP FOR US. AND THIS IS WHERE I DO THINK THINGS COULD TURN HEAVY. WE COULD SEE SOME FLASH FLOOD REPORTS POPPING UP. THIS IS WEDNESDAY EVENING. SO RIGHT BEFORE THAT MAIN EVENING COMMUTE, WE COULD SEE SOME OF THAT RAIN MOVING THROUGH. THEN WE GET TO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A LOT OF IT WILL START TO BREAK UP ONCE WE LOSE THAT DAYTIME HEATING. THEN WE LOOK AT THURSDAY MORNING A POSSIBILITY OF SOME MORE RAIN MOVING THROUGH THURSDAY’S CHANCES, THOUGH, DON’T LOOK QUITE AS HIGH AS WHAT WEDNESDAY IS LOOKING AT. BUT ONCE WE GET TO THE AFTERNOON, YOU KIND OF GET THE TREND RIGHT. WE START TO SEE MORE OF THOSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS START TO POP UP FOR US, AND ANY OF THOSE COULD PRODUCE SOME VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS OVER YOU. AND THEN IT IS A POSSIBILITY SOME OF US MAY SKIP OUT. TO FRIDAY. FRIDAY. I MEAN, IT’S ONLY TUESDAY, BUT WE’VE STILL GOT A FEW DETAILS TO WORK OUT WITH THAT. BUT FRIDAY, I DO THINK WE’LL SEE SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS OUT THERE FOR YOU. AND THEN A COUPLE OF RUMBLES OF THUNDER. ANY OF THOSE COULD ALSO BE ON THE HEAVY SIDE. SO WE GOT RAIN COMING THROUGH OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS FOR US. SO FOR TODAY, DON’T SEE A HUGE RISK FOR FLASH FLOODING, BUT FOR TOMORROW WE DO HAVE THAT CHANCE. IT’S GOING TO BE A LITTLE MORE THAN HALF OF US COULD END UP SEEING SOME VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS. THAT COULD LEAD TO SOME ISSUES. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE REST OF THE WDSU FIRST WARNING SEV
