NOW ON WDSU, FIRST WARNING WEATHER. WE START WITH THE RADAR. WE’VE GOT A COUPLE SHOWERS, HEAVY DOWNPOURS, MAINLY ALONG THE COAST, BUT COCODRIE WE COULD BE MOVING UP CLOSE TO YOU. HEAR THAT DOWNPOUR JUST MOVING INTO TOWN? NO LIGHTNING OUT OF IT YET. THAT’S THE ONLY THING I HAVE ANY IMPACT ON. ANY FOLKS. YOU HAD SOME CAMPS DOWN THERE. THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING GOING ON HERE TOO. IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE IN ONE OF THOSE MORE RURAL AREAS. SOME ARE STEAMY 70S RIGHT NOW, 82 OFFICIALLY HERE AND EVEN 82 AT GULFPORT. BILOXI, 8481 TO BURAS 84, IN GRAND ISLE. THOSE ARE THE 80S WE GOT. SO AS WE LOOK AT WHAT’S DRIVING OUR WEATHER OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, WHAT REALLY ENHANCED OUR STORMS TODAY IS WE’RE BUILDING THIS LITTLE HEAT DOME, A MINI HEAT DOME, I CALL IT. WE’RE ABLE TO SNEAK IN A LITTLE SYSTEM HERE HELPED ENHANCE THOSE RAIN CHANCES. REALLY STORMY AGAIN TODAY. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE HEAT THAT’S TAKING OVER. AND THAT’S THE MAIN DRIVING FORCE OVER OUR MONDAY. TUESDAY. I THINK EVEN LEADING INTO WEDNESDAY AS WELL. BUT THEN WE’RE GOING TO TURN FROM HEAT TO THEN STORMS IN A FLOOD RISK. SO WE LOOK AT RADAR. EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE GOING AWAY. EVEN THOSE STORMS THAT ARE OUT SOUTH SHOULD START TO FADE. 78 HERE IN TOWN, 80 AT LAKEFRONT, 73 IN SLIDELL. GIVE OR TAKE A DEGREE OR TWO. I’VE SEEN AT 71 AT TIMES, EVEN 68. LET’S GIVE IT A 40% CHANCE OF WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS TOMORROW. THIS SHOULD ALLOW THE HEAT TO BUILD THOSE STORMS GO A LITTLE BIT LATER IN THE DAY TO START TO FORM. 9496 BOGALUSA, EVEN AROUND 90, IN THE SOUTH SHORE AND CLOSE TO THE COAST, WITH DEW POINTS AROUND 75 TO 77. CALCULATED A HEAT INDEX TO 109 HERE TO 107 IN THE SLIDELL, 108 IN BOGALUSA. REMEMBER, THE HEAT ADVISORY IS ONLY FOR THOSE CLOSEST TO THE LAKE. GREATER NEW ORLEANS AREA. HOUMA THE I-10 CORRIDOR IN BATON ROUGE. IT’S TUESDAY. THIS COULD BE THE HOTTEST DAY. 30% CHANCE STORM ISOLATED IN COVERAGE UP TO 9597 BOGALUSA 93 FOR HOUMA. GALLIANO, BELLE CHASSE. GRAND ISLE FEELS LIKE 105. MAYBE AS HOT AS 110, SO I EXPECT ANOTHER HEAT ADVISORY MAYBE GOING INTO WEDNESDAY AS WELL. THOSE ARE GOING TO BE WDSU FIRST WARNING WEATHER IMPACT DAYS FOR SURE. FOR MONDAY AT LEAST TUESDAY, MAYBE WEDNESDAY. TROPICS. NOW, THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER HAS IDENTIFIED THERE’S THE PARENT SYSTEM. IT’S ACTUALLY GOING TO GO A LITTLE BIT OVER SOUTH FLORIDA BEFORE IT MOVES INTO THE GULF. THE LATEST DATA. YOU LOOK AT RADAR IMAGERY AND THERE ISN’T A WHOLE LOT HERE. 80 DEGREE WATER TEMPERATURES. SOME OF THOSE COMING CLOSE TO 90. WE LOOK AT THE ATMOSPHERIC HUMIDITY AND WE’RE GOING TO PUT A LOT OF THAT IN PLACE. WE’RE ALSO LOOKING AT WIND SHEAR. THIS COULD COME INTO PLAY THAT MAY HINDER THINGS. BUT OUR FORECAST OUT OF EUROPE REALLY SHOWS THE SPIN VERY WELL. THERE IT IS IN WEDNESDAY AND IT’S A BROAD AREA OF SPIN. AND THEN MOVING RIGHT OVER US OR NEAR US BY THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY’S FORECAST, MOVING AWAY BY SUNDAY. SO THE STORM ACTIVITY IT COULD START AS WE GET INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. GOING INTO THURSDAY, FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. THIS COULD BE EVEN IF WE DON’T HAVE ANY TROPICAL DEVELOPMENT OUT OF IT, EVEN A TROPICAL DEPRESSION. A BIG RAINMAKER. AND THAT’S THE FOCUS. I’VE GOT MORE WDSU FIRST WARNING WEATHER IMPACTS RIGHT NOW, WEDNESDAY TO THURSDAY MORNING. WE’RE UNDER A LOW RISK OF POSSIBLE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN, AND THE SAME GOES THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. I THINK THOSE WILL BE BUMPED UP. WE’RE LOOKING AT SOME INDICATION SEVERAL INCHES OF RAIN OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. THE WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER HAS SOME BULL’S EYE SPOTS THAT ARE POSSIBLY FIVE INCHES, OR EVEN MORE SO. REGARDLESS IF WE GET ANYTHING TO HAPPEN. AND IF WE WOULD, I THINK IT’S A WEAK AND MINIMAL SYSTEM. WE’RE NOT TALKING MAJOR CANE OR ANYTHING, BUT IT IS GOING TO BE A RAINMAKER. SO WDSU FIRST WARNING WEATHER SEVEN DAY THE HEAT FOR THE IMPACT DAYS. THE NEXT THREE THE FLOOD RISK FOR THE IMPACT DAYS FOR THE NEXT THREE. AFTER THAT, TEMPERATURES WILL START TO GO DOWN THOUG
