OPEN IN THE SHOOTING. AS IT IS A WDSU FIRST WARNING WEATHER ALERT DAY. NOW, AS WE HAVE SEEN SOME FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS IN EFFECT FOR PARTS OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA. RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK. WE’LL GET TO THAT SHORTLY. LET’S START WITH WDSU FIRST WARNING DOPPLER RADAR. AS YOU SEE, STILL A LOT OF ACTIVE WEATHER ONGOING ACROSS PARTS OF THE AREA. AND THERE YOU SEE THE HEAVIEST RAIN CURRENTLY CENTERED VERY CLOSE TOWARDS THE COAST. SO IF YOU’RE IN GOLDEN MEADOW LOOKING AT SOME HEAVY RAIN FOR YOU RIGHT NOW, IT’S ALSO APPROACHING YOU IN GRAND ISLE, LOOKING AT SOME LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN CURRENTLY COMING DOWN FOR YOU AND ALSO TOWARDS PLAQUEMINES PARISH, LOOKING AT SOME MODERATE TO EVEN HEAVY AMOUNTS OF WET WEATHER COMING YOUR WAY. FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS IN EFFECT FOR LAFOURCHE PARISH UNTIL 6:30 P.M., AS RADAR ESTIMATES HERE HAVE SHOWN, OVER 1 TO 2IN OF RAIN HAVE FALLEN ANYWHERE FROM HOUMA TOWARD LOCKPORT. AND AS WE MOVE CLOSER TOWARDS THE WESTERN METRO, ALSO A FLASH FLOOD WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 P.M. TODAY FOR YOU, AS RAINFALL ESTIMATES HAVE BEEN ANYWHERE BETWEEN 2.1 TO 2.6, EVEN 2.7 IN SOME LOCATIONS AND JUST UNDER THREE INCHES SOUTH OF AVONDALE. SO AS WE MOVE THE MAP FARTHER EAST, YOU SEE THAT THERE IS NO FLOOD ALERTS CURRENTLY IN EFFECT FOR NEW ORLEANS EAST, BUT ANYWHERE FROM CHEF TOWARDS WRIGLEYS. LOOK AT THIS. ANYWHERE BETWEEN TWO TO OVER THREE INCHES OF RAIN HERE HAVE FALLEN IN SOME LOCATIONS, ACCORDING TO DOPPLER WEATHER RADAR ESTIMATES. AND REALLY, IT’S NOT JUST SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA AND SOUTH MISSISSIPPI DEALING WITH THE WET WEATHER. THERE’S A LOT OF LOCATIONS RIGHT NOW ACROSS THE SOUTH AND REALLY JUST ACROSS THE GULF COAST, WHERE WE’RE SEEING SOME MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN THAT’S CURRENTLY FALLING. AND ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THAT IS THIS UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE THAT’S BEEN IMPACTING THE WEATHER ENVIRONMENT HERE TODAY. THAT’S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE’VE BEEN SO WET AND STORMY ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA AND SOUTH MISSISSIPPI. AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE RADAR AGAIN THROUGHOUT THE DAY, A LOT OF WET WEATHER HERE HAS MOVED TOWARDS US. SO IT IS A WEATHER ALERT DAY BECAUSE WE’VE SEEN THE FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS. AND NOT TO MENTION THERE IS THAT SLIGHT RISK OF FLASH FLOODING ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA AND SOUTH MISSISSIPPI GOING INTO THE DAY TOMORROW. CURRENTLY, WE DON’T HAVE A WEATHER IMPACT DAY OR ANYTHING HIGHER, BUT THERE IS A LEVEL ONE MARGINAL RISK OF FLOODING ACROSS THE NORTH SHORE AND SOUTH MISSISSIPPI. SOME OF THE AREAS THAT DEFINITELY DON’T NEED ANY RAIN. WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WATCH THAT FOR YOU FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND, THOUGH. SO TAKING YOU INTO FUTURE CAST AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE EVENING HOURS, IT LOOKS LIKE MUCH OF THE RAIN THAT’S FALLING ACROSS SOME LOCATIONS SHOULD BEGIN TO CLEAR. SO YOU SEE, BY 9:00, MAYBE A SPOTTY SHOWER OR STORM. OTHERWISE JUST MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES. AND AS WE GO INTO EARLY TOMORROW MORNING, STILL A MAINLY CLOUDY SKY, A SHOWER OR STORM, STILL A POSSIBILITY, VERY ISOLATED RISK THOUGH GOING INTO TOMORROW MORNING, THERE IS A CHANCE OF A FEW STORMS GOING UP ACROSS PARTS OF THE NORTH SHORE AND SOUTH MISSISSIPPI BY 10:00 IN THE MORNING, AND I THINK THE REST OF THE DAY TOMORROW IS LOOKING GOOD, ALTHOUGH IT’S GOING TO BE A LITTLE ON THE CLOUDY SIDE, HOT AND STEAMY AS WELL. MAYBE A SPOTTY SHOWER, ISOLATED STORM. NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION, BUT NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING WIDESPREAD. CERTAINLY NOT LIKE WHAT WE HAD HERE TODAY. GOING INTO EARLY MONDAY, WE START OFF WITH SOME OF THE CLOUD COVER AND THEN TURNING SUNNY AS WE GO INTO THE AFTERNOON. SO TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW CURRENTLY SITTING INTO THE MID 70S, THAT IS THAT RAIN COOLED AIR THAT WE’VE BEEN DEALING WITH HERE TODAY, REALLY HELPING TO BRING DOWN THE TEMPERATURE. SO IF THERE’S ANY GOOD NEWS TO THE RAIN, IF IT’S FEELING MUCH COOLER, THANKS TO EVERYTHING THAT’S FALLEN HERE SO FAR, 80 DEGREES, ONE OF THE WARMER SPOTS RIGHT NOW ON THE MAP HERE IN BOGALUSA. BUT LOOK AT THIS. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO GET VERY HOT. WE’RE GOING TO BE ENTERING A DRIER PATTERN STARTING TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND GOING THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK HERE COMING UP, AS HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO CLIMB INTO THE LOW TO MID 90S WITH HEAT INDEX. WELL, HEAT INDEX VALUES WELL OVER 100. AS FAR AS THE TROPICS GO, EVERYTHING IS QUIET.
