Entergy New Orleans reporting thousands without power in parts of Gentilly, Treme

WDSU FIRST WARNING WEATHER. NO IMPACTS, NO ALERTS AND YOU CAN SEE BEHIND ME WE’RE THINKING FOOTBALL SEASON, MY FRIEND. AND YEAH, YULMAN STADIUM TONIGHT WE’VE GOT THE SAINTS THERE AND WE’VE ALSO GOT KENDALL DUNCAN, OUR SPORTS DIRECTOR. FLETCHER MACKEL IN JUST A MINUTE. BUT LET’S CHECK OUT THE TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING. FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME. 69 TO START OFF BOGALUSA SOME TEMPERATURE BELOW 70. NOW AROUND THE LAKE. STILL PRETTY WARM THIS MORNING. 83 LAKEFRONT 81 HERE. OFFICIALLY. BUT LOOK AT THE MID 70S. BELLE CHASSE HOME AT 75 GALLIANO, 74 GULFPORT. BILOXI. THERE TO TOP TEMPS TODAY. WELL, COULD BE A LOT WORSE THAN THIS, RIGHT? 94 FOR MANY OF US TO SLIDELL BELLE CHASSE HERE OFFICIALLY STATE CAPITAL AT 96 BATON ROUGE, GRAND ISLE, GALLIANO TO BILOXI WERE ALL AT 92. IN BOGALUSA, TWO REAL TIME TEMPS, SOME 80S HAVE DROPPED TO BURAS GALLIANO TO 92 OFFICIALLY HERE, 91 IN BOGALUSA. AND THERE’S THE 60 DEGREE DEW POINTS. LOOK AT GRAND ISLAND. EVEN GALLIANO WITH DUES INTO THE 60S AT 63. SO THERE’S HARDLY A HEAT INDEX WHATSOEVER. IT’S JUST CLOSE TO THE ACTUAL AIR TEMP. AND WE WILL TAKE THAT. SO TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT FIVE DAYS WE WILL CONTINUE TO DROP THOSE ANOTHER DEGREE OR TWO. BUT HERE’S THE HUMIDITY TRACK AND WE’LL SEE TOMORROW STILL GOING TO BE OKAY. BUT BY THURSDAY IT GOES UP A BIT AND BY THE TIME WE’RE HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND, WE’LL NOTICE THE HUMIDITY IS BACK AND RAIN CHANCES TOO. IT’S GOING TO GO UP, BUT IT’S NOT GOING TO GO UP. SO FAR THAT WE’RE NOT EXPECTING MORE HEAT ALERTS IN ANY TIME SOON. THAT MEANS NO MORE IMPACT DAYS, AND WE’RE JUST GOING TO KEEP IT KIND OF LATE SUMMER PATTERN. PRETTY TYPICAL FRONT THAT DROVE IN THAT DRIER AIR IS SOUTH OF US HERE. SO ANOTHER DAY OF THAT COMFORTABLE AIR TO MAKE THE HEAT STILL FEEL OKAY A LITTLE BIT MORE BEARABLE. BUT BY THURSDAY, START TO FIND THE HUMIDITY COMING BACK A LITTLE BIT. SOUTH SHORE IS GOING TO FIND IT FIRST, THEN A CHANCE THAT WE GET SOME OF THAT IN THE NORTH SHORE BY FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY AS THE SOUTH WINDS CONTINUE TO BLOW IN THAT HIGHER HUMIDITY FROM THE GULF, I THINK WE COULD BE AS LOW AS 65 TOMORROW MORNING. FRANKLINTON I’M LOOKING AT CAREER. I’M LOOKING AT 68 TO HAMMOND. EVEN SLIDELL. I EVEN THINK 73. TOMORROW MORNING. BELLE CHASE TO GALLIANO TO HOUMA. SO HERE’S THE CLOUD CAST. ANOTHER DAY LIKE TODAY. TONS OF SUNSHINE AND WITH 90S IT’S STILL GOING TO FEEL REALLY HOT IN THAT SUN. BUT AGAIN WITH HUMIDITY IT’S STILL INTO THE 60S WITH THOSE DEW POINTS. WE’RE STILL DOING OKAY NOW HERE’S THE CLOUD CAST GOING INTO THURSDAY. ALSO, START TO SEE THAT THERE’S A CHANCE THAT WE BREAK OUT A SHOWER OR STORM. IT’S ONLY A 20% CHANCE, BUT NOTICE THE HUMIDITY IS GOING BACK A BIT. SO 94 AGAIN FOR A HIGH FOR MANY OF US. BUT LOOK AT THE DEW POINTS STARTING TO GET CLOSE TO 70 ONCE AGAIN BY THURSDAY. BY FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND IT’S KIND OF ALL OVER. SO HIGH PRESSURE WITH THE CORE OF THE HEAT THAT HASN’T BEEN TOO BAD. EVEN JUST WEST OF US. WELL, THAT’S GOING TO GET PINCHED OFF HERE OVER THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. IT’S GOING TO ALLOW THESE SYSTEMS TO ROTATE THROUGH. SO BY FRIDAY, FOR SATURDAY, SUNDAY, JUST GIVE IT A CHANCE. 40% CHANCE OF SOME SCATTERED STORMS. HIGH PRESSURE KIND OF SETTLES NORTH TO KEEP THOSE KIND OF EAST FLOW IN PLAY, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE GET SOME STORMS AND FINALLY ARRIVE. WHICH KIND OF NEED THAT’S REALLY GOING TO PICK UP THAT HUMIDITY. SPEAKING OF ERNESTO, WELL, IT’S JUST A STRONG STORM SYSTEM, NORTHERN ATLANTIC. THE REST OF THE ATLANTIC, NOTHING OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS, LET’S GO TO THE CARIBBEAN. STILL LOOKING AT OUR FORECAST AS WE HAVE STARTED TO GET TO PEAK SEASON TODAY ON AUGUST 20TH IN THE HURRICANE FORECAST TIME PERIOD, NOTHING FOR THE CARIBBEAN AND NOTHING IN THE GULF EITHER. SO HERE IT IS. THIS IS THAT BEGINNING OF THE MOST ACTIVE PERIOD, AUGUST 20TH. TODAY, OF COURSE, THE PEAK HAPPENS SEPTEMBER 10TH. BUT WHAT WE’VE HAD COMPARED TO THE FORECAST UP UNTIL NOW, KNOCK ON WOOD, RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE SOME LONG RANGE FORECASTS THAT WANT TO BRING IN SOME OUTLOOKS THAT SHOW SOME POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT. BUT THAT’S 2 TO 3 WEEKS DOWN THE ROAD. SEVEN DAY FORECAST STILL COMFY TOMORROW. STILL HOT THOUGH. A LITTLE BIT MORE HUMID BY FRIDAY. MAYB
