AGENDA IS. IT IS A WEATHER ALERT DAY HERE ON WDSU BECAUSE OF THE EXCESSIVE HEAT THAT WE’VE BEEN DEALING WITH HERE TODAY, WE’VE BEEN FEELING LIKE 120 IN SOME SPOTS HERE. EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON. LET’S GET TO OUR SATELLITE AND RADAR. SHOW YOU HOW DRY IT IS RIGHT NOW. YOU KNOW, YESTERDAY AROUND THIS TIME, WE WERE TRACKING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. TODAY IS JUST REALLY ABOUT THE HEAT. SOME PASSING CLOUDS HERE AND THERE ACROSS THE SOUTH SHORE. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THAT’S PRETTY MUCH ALL SHE WROTE HERE LOCALLY. REGIONAL PICTURE SHOWING JUST HOW BASICALLY DRY WE ARE HERE RIGHT NOW ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH AND THE GULF OF MEXICO. ALSO PRETTY QUIET HERE TOO. TEMPERATURES CURRENTLY AT LAKEFRONT AT 94. IT’S 97 IN SLIDELL. 95 IN HAMMOND. AND JUST SHY OF 100 RIGHT NOW IN BOGALUSA. 96 CURRENTLY IN BELLE CHASE. AND 98 DEGREES AT THE AIRPORT. HOWEVER, IT FEELS LIKE 112 STILL IN BOTH SLIDELL, ALSO TOWARDS THE SOUTHWEST IN KENNER. AND IT’S FEELING LIKE 114 TO THE SOUTH IN BELLE CHASE AND FEELING LIKE FEELING LIKE 106. CURRENTLY, GALLIANO AND ALSO DOWN TOWARDS GRAND ISLE. SO WE STILL HAVE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS UNTIL 7:00 THIS EVENING AND KEEP IN MIND TOMORROW WE HAVE THE HEAT ADVISORIES GOING INTO EFFECT STARTING AROUND 10:00, GOING UNTIL SEVEN. BECAUSE OF THOSE TEMPERATURES. AND LOOK AT THE HIGHS TOMORROW MID 90S HERE. LAKEFRONT COULD BE AS HOT AS 96. AND SAME HERE FOR YOU IN KENNER AND BELLE CHASE HERE TOMORROW. NORTH SHORE MAYBE A COUPLE DEGREES COOLER THAN THAT, BUT EVERYONE WILL STILL FEEL LIKE TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT HERE WHEN YOU FACTOR IN RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON, IT COULD FEEL JUST SHY OF 110 FROM BELLE CHASSE AND ALSO INTO KENNER LAKEFRONT FEELING LIKE 107 TOMORROW AFTERNOON. LET’S TAKE YOU THROUGH THE REST OF THE EVENING THOUGH. FIRST, AND SHOW YOU SOME CLOUDY SKIES HERE AND THERE. YOU’LL SEE AS WE HEAD INTO TONIGHT, EVERYTHING COMES TO A CLOSE AND WE’RE LOOKING AT LOT CLEARER CONDITIONS. WE COULD SEE SOME SHOWERS, MAYBE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS OFF TO THE WEST RIVER PARISHES AND UP TOWARDS BATON ROUGE AND PARTS OF THE SOUTH SHORE TOMORROW MORNING, OUT AHEAD OF THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXPECTED TO MOVE IN AND THAT SHOULD PASS ON THROUGH AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW EVENING. THAT COULD GIVE US SOME DRIER AIR, MAYBE NOT COOL US DOWN A WHOLE LOT BEHIND THE SYSTEM, BUT GIVE US AT LEAST SOME DRIER AIR FOR US TO WORK WITH AND BRING DOWN THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY, MAYBE JUST A LITTLE BIT HERE AS WELL AS WE TAKE YOU INTO TUESDAY. CONDITIONS NOT LOOKING FAVORABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE DRY AIR FROM THE BACKSIDE OF THAT FRONT MOVING THROUGH. MEANWHILE, HERE’S A LOOK AT THE TROPICS. HURRICANE ERNESTO. IT’S BACK TO A HURRICANE HERE YESTERDAY. DOWNGRADED TO TROPICAL STORM. BACK UP TO A HURRICANE. NORTH NORTHEAST IS THE CURRENT MOVING AT 17. WINDS AT 75. AND THE PRESSURE. 977 MILLIBARS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO MOVE TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST OVER THE OPEN WATERS OF THE ATLANTIC, AND COULD BECOME A TROPICAL STORM AGAIN AFTER WEAKENING HERE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. BY TUESDAY AND THEN UP TOWARDS A TROPICAL DEPRESSION AS IT ENCOUNTERS SOME COOLER SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND SOME UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS IN THE FORM OF WIND SHEAR AS WELL. AS WE HEAD TOWARDS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AND THEN AFTER THAT, THERE’S PRETTY MUCH NOTHING ELSE IN THE TROPICS HERE. LOOKS LIKE OVER THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO, TEMPERATURES HERE LOCALLY WILL STILL REMAIN PRETTY WARM, THOUGH. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT 96 FOR TOMORROW AND THEN A HIGH OF 97 ON TUESDAY. STILL VERY HOT AND DRY. MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES WILL CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY. COULD SEE A FEW MORE CLOUDS DEVELOP AS WE HEAD INTO THURSDAY AHEAD OF THIS NEXT SYSTEM. THAT COULD BRING US A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS, MAYBE A COUPLE OF THUNDERSTORMS AS WE HEAD INTO FRIDAY. BUT BECAUSE WE’RE INCREASING THE MOISTURE HERE A LITTLE BIT FRIDAY AND ALSO INTO THE WEEKEND, THAT COULD LEAD TO SOME COOLER TEMPERATURES AS HIGHS FALL INTO THOSE LOWER 90S. BUT WE’RE STILL AGAIN, GOING TO BE TRACKING THE HEAT WITH THOSE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS. STILL, THROUGH 7:00. AND THE HEAT ADVISORIES GOING IN EFFECT TUESDAY. I DON’T HAVE ANY WEATHER IMPACT DAYS, THOUGH AFTER TUESDAY, BECAUSE THE HEAT HERE AND THE HUMIDITY SHOULD BEGIN TO DECREASE BEHIND THAT FRONT THAT’S MOVING IN HERE AS WE HEAD INTO WEDNESDAY. OUR LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE MAINLY INT
