From La to L.A.: LSU pitcher Chase Shores drafted 47th overall by the Angels
STORMY SUMMER DAY WDSU FIRST WARNING WEATHER. DOPPLER RADAR IS WHERE WE’RE GOING TO START. BEHIND ME, THE PONTCHARTRAIN CONSERVANCY CAM KIND OF PRETTY. WE GOT A COUPLE TOWERS GOING UP. WE CALL THIS A COUPLE STORMS WAY IN THE DISTANCE. BUT AGAIN, THE RADAR SHOWS THE LAST OF SOME STORMS WINDING DOWN LOWER PLAQUEMINES AROUND BOOTHVILLE. WE’VE GOT THE STORMS RIGHT AROUND MORGAN CITY. WE’VE GOT A COUPLE OF WANING STORMS THERE TOO. SO THIS IS WHERE THE STORM ACTIVITY IS GOING TO BE THE STRONGEST. THIS IS JUST OUTSIDE OF DUVAL HERE. BOTH BOOTHVILLE ORCHARD, AND THAT’S ABOUT THE STORMS THAT WE HAVE THAT ARE REMAINING AT THIS TIME. ONE LITTLE SHOWER RIGHT ON THE LINE HERE OF THE BORDER BETWEEN THE PEARL RIVER COUNTY. SO SILVER RUN, A LITTLE DOWNPOUR FOR YOU THAT HEAD TO SMITHTOWN. AND THEN WE’VE GOT, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, TO MORGAN CITY, THERE’S THE REMAINING SHOWER THAT’S FADING IN OVER AMELIE HERE TOO. WE GOT STORMS THAT REMAIN OFF THE COAST. WHAT DO WE DO FOR THE TOP TEMPS TODAY? IT WAS A HOT ONE BEFORE THE STORMS REALLY GOT GOING. 93 BOTH AT ARMSTRONG INTERNATIONAL AND DOWNTOWN AIRPORT. WE HAD 94 HERE AND 91 AT BOGALUSA, BELLE CHASSE LAKEFRONT AIRPORT. OBVIOUSLY THAT WAS GETTING TO AT THAT 93 REAL TIME TEMPERATURES 70S SOME 80S A LOT OF CLOUD COVER FROM THE EARLIER STORMS, BUT HEAT ADVISORIES ALREADY UP FOR TOMORROW, SHOWING EVERYBODY IN THE ORANGE. SO AROUND THE LAKE KIND OF I-10 CORRIDOR AND JUST GETTING INTO LAFOURCHE, NORTHERN PARTS OF TERREBONNE PARISHES. THIS KICKS IN AT 10 A.M., GOES UNTIL SEVEN. YOU CAN BE FEELING AS HOT AS 110. TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE KIND OF A BORDERLINE DAY, BECAUSE I DO FIND WIDELY SCATTERED STORMS WITHIN THE MIX. BUT THEN TUESDAY IS THE BIG HEAT DAY. SO WE GOT THIS BUBBLE OF THE HEAT THAT’S BUILDING. THERE WAS THIS WEAK SYSTEM THAT WAS ABLE TO SNEAK UNDERNEATH IT. THERE’S THE HEAT, THE HEAT DOME THAT WILL START TO BUILD AS WE GET TO MONDAY TO TUESDAY, TO EVEN HANGING AROUND INTO WEDNESDAY. BUT SOME SIGNS GOING INTO WEDNESDAY, AND THEN AT THE END OF THE WEEK IS THIS TROPICAL KIND OF SYSTEM WE’RE WATCHING. AND THIS COULD BE TURNING TO HEAVIER RAIN. ALL THOSE STORMS WILL BE FADING AWAY AT 70 TO AROUND 80 TO WAKE UP HERE GOING INTO MONDAY MORNING, LET’S CALL IT A 40% CHANCE. WIDELY SCATTERED STORMS TOMORROW. AGAIN, HEAT OF THE DAY. BUT I THINK THE STORMS FIRE UP A BIT LATER. WE COULD GET TO 94. BOGALUSA COULD DO 96, FACTOR IN HIGH HUMIDITY WITH DEW POINTS WELL INTO THE UPPER 70S. WE COULD BE FEELING AS HOT AS 108, 109, MAYBE UP TO 110 FOR THE CALCULATED GOING INTO TUESDAY. LET’S GO WITH ONLY A 30% CHANCE OF AN ISOLATED STORM IN COVERAGE. SO NOT MUCH STORMS. THAT’S GOING TO ALLOW THESE TEMPERATURES TO REALLY BUMP UP. A LOT OF US 93, 95, 97. THIS IS THE HOTTEST DAY WE’RE I’VE GOT THE CALCULATED HEAT INDEX TO 110. EVEN THE GULFPORT, EVEN DOWNTOWN AND EVEN INTO SLIDELL. WEDNESDAY IS GOING TO BE ALL DEPENDENT UPON WHAT HAPPENS WITH THIS POSSIBILITY OF A TROPICAL SYSTEM WE’RE TRACKING RIGHT NOW. STILL A 20% CHANCE THIS IS OVER THE NEXT 3 TO 7 DAYS. AND THIS WILL BE BY THE MIDDLE TO THE END OF THE WEEK. SO NOTHING HERE MONDAY TO TUESDAY WON’T BE UNTIL WE GET TO MORE. WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY. SO WE’VE GOT A COUPLE TWO PRONGED APPROACH OF THAT LITTLE HEAT THAT’S RIGHT OVER THE TOP OF US. THOSE ARE SOME COMPETING HIGHS. YOU LOOK AT WATER TEMPERATURES HERE. WE’RE DEFINITELY WARM ENOUGH HERE FOR YOU. GOT A LOT OF ATMOSPHERIC HUMIDITY. THIS IS ACTUALLY A FORECAST OVER THE TWO DAYS HERE. THOSE WATER TEMPS AGAIN WE’RE UPWARDS OF 8687, 88. I’D SEEN IN SOME CASES THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF WIND SHEAR NOW. AND THAT’S THE FORECAST STORM ACTIVITY THAT WILL BE IN THERE. BUT WATCH THIS. THIS THE FORECAST SPIN FROM THE FORECAST OUT OF EUROPE REALLY SHOWS THE SYSTEM THAT WILL BE TRACKING TO COME THROUGH WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. THAT’S WHEN WE SEE IT RIGHT UPON US HERE. AND WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT FOR THE FORECAST RAINFALL? IT COULD BE QUITE A BIT AS WE GET TO. WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL BE THE FIRST ROUND THURSDAY AND POSSIBLY GOING INTO FRIDAY, MAYBE LINGERING INTO SATURDAY HERE TOO. WE’RE ALL RUNNING OUR LOW LEVEL RISK FOR POSSIBLE FLOODING WEDNESDAY TO THURSDAY AND THEN GOING THURSDAY AS WELL. I THINK THESE ARE GOING TO BE BUMPED UP. WE’RE AT LEAST GOING IMPACT DAYS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT’S MAINLY THE RAIN THAT I THINK IS THE BIGGEST THING WE’LL GET. AS FOR TROPICAL DEPRESSION, POSSIBLE TROPICAL STORM MAYBE. I MEAN, IT’S A REAL LOW CHANCE. WE ARE LOOKING AT A LOT OF RAIN THOUGH. THAT IS THE BIGGEST THING IN THE FORECAST. STARTING WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY TO FRIDAY AND MAYBE EVEN SATURDAY. SO IT’S GOING TO BE HEAT WITH THE IMPACT DAYS MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY. THE FLOOD CONCERNS FOR THE IMPACT DAYS, THURSDAY, FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. BE SAFE HERE FR
