STUDENTS. GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY. WAKING UP, TAKING A LOOK AT THE HYATT REGENCY CAMERA RIGHT NOW OVERLOOKING THE CAESARS SUPERDOME, YOU CAN SEE MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES BACK THERE IN THE BACKGROUND. FOR SOME OF US, THOUGH, AND THEN OTHERS, WE ARE SEEING A COUPLE OF SHOWERS STARTING OFF FOR THIS MORNING, BUT THE GOOD MAJORITY OF US, YOU CAN SAY ABOUT 95% OF US ARE DRY RIGHT NOW. SO GOT YOUR TEMPERATURES ON HERE. AT THE SAME TIME YOU CAN SEE INTO THE MID TO UPPER 70S ON THE NORTH SHORE. SOUTH SHORE GOT SOME MID TO UPPER 70S COUPLE OF LOWER 80S AS WELL. LET’S GET TO WHERE THE RAIN IS. WE HAVE SEEN A COUPLE OF STRIKES OF LIGHTNING POP UP GRAND ISLE. YOU MAY SEE A SHOWER OR TWO. BRUSH UP YOUR AREA, BUT AS THESE HAVE BEEN MOVING INLAND, A LOT OF THESE HAVE STARTED TO WEAKEN QUITE A BIT. YOU SEE, DELACROIX, YOU’RE LOOKING AT THIS AND LOOK HOW IT’S KIND OF FIZZLING ON OUT. SO HOPEDALE, MAYBE YOU’LL GET A SMALL SHOWER IF THAT DOES HOLD TOGETHER. ALSO, LOOKING AT THE OTHER SIDE IS JUST OFF TO THE WEST OF US. ALSO WATCHING THIS DOESN’T LOOK LIKE THAT’S HOLDING TOGETHER VERY WELL EITHER. SO WE ARE STARTING TO LOSE SOME OF THAT ENERGY THERE AS WE’RE GOING THROUGHOUT THE MORNING. SO HERE’S WHAT’S HAPPENING NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS FOR US. DO YOU THINK MOST OF US ARE GOING TO STAY DRY? WE’LL SEE A COUPLE OF SHOWERS, BUT IT’S ONCE WE GET TO THE LATE MORNING HOURS INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON, THAT’S WHEN WE’LL GET TO THE MEAT OF THE FORECAST. LOOKING AT SOME HEAVY SHOWERS, THUNDERSTORMS MOVING IN FOR US. WE’LL START TO SEE THIS. 4:00. YOU’RE STILL LOOKING AT THAT. SO COULD VERY LIKELY BE FOR THE EVENING DRIVE TIME. COULD SEE SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS ON THE WAY HOME. NOW AS FAR AS GETTING TO TONIGHT A LOT OF THAT WILL START TO FIZZLE ON OUT. SO KIND OF THE SAME ORDEAL WE’VE BEEN DEALING WITH. MORNING TIME. IT’S OKAY. AFTERNOON. THAT’S WHEN WE SEE THE ISOLATED CHANCES FOR SHOWERS. THUNDERSTORMS POP UP. THEN YOU GET TO TONIGHT AND THINGS WILL CLEAR UP FOR US. YOUR HEAT INDEX, THOUGH, STILL FEEL LIKE WE’RE INTO THE MID TO UPPER 90S FOR A LOT OF US NOW, HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR TODAY, A LOT OF US WILL MAKE IT INTO THE UPPER 80S, AND THAT IS DUE TO THE CHANCE FOR SOME RAIN. SO YES, RAIN CHANCES TODAY. NOT ONLY TODAY FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. REALLY SUPPLIES THE LAST WEEK TO THEY COULD ACTUALLY CHANGE SOME OF OUR PROJECTED HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR TODAY. SO IF YOU GET A HEAVY SHOWER OVER YOU FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME, RIGHT. WHEN WE’RE LOOKING AT THAT MAIN, OUR DAYTIME HEATING THAT MAY IMPACT YOUR HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR TODAY. SO I DO THINK A LOT OF US ARE GOING TO ONLY MAKE IT INTO THE UPPER 80S. EITHER WAY IT GOES, IT’S STILL GOING TO BE HOT. AND LOOKING AT THE LSU GAME HAPPENING FOR THIS MORNING, IT DOES LOOK LIKE RAIN CHANCES WILL LESSEN. LOOKS A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN WHAT IT DID YESTERDAY. NOW, AS FAR AS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FOR HERE AT HOME TONIGHT AGAIN, DRY FOR TOMORROW MORNING. MOST OF US GET OUT THE DOOR JUST FINE. WE MAY SEE A COUPLE OF SHOWERS HERE AND THERE, BUT THEN FOR THE AFTERNOON, THAT’S WHEN WE’RE EXPECTING SOME OF THOSE POP UPS TO HAPPEN FOR US ONCE AGAIN. BUT AS WE GET DEEPER INTO THE WEEKEND, DOES LOOK LIKE THE RAIN CHANCES WILL START TO BACK OFF JUST A LITTLE BIT. EVER SO SLIGHTLY LOOKING AT SOME HIGH PRESSURE THAT WILL START TO BUILD. THAT HIGH PRESSURE IS GOING TO BUILD JUST UP TO THE NORTH OF US, SO THAT MAY IMPACT SOME OF US. BUT I DO THINK WE’RE STILL GOING TO GET SOME FLOW COMING IN. SO I DO THINK WE’RE STILL GOING TO SEE RAIN CHANCES AS WE LOOK AHEAD TO THE WEEKEND. ALL RIGHT. SO THE REST OF THE FORECAST LOOKS LIKE THIS. TROPICS NOTHING GOING ON FOR US. SO THAT IS SOME GOOD NEWS FOR US OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. NO DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED AS FAR AS THE REST OF THE FORECAST GOES. UPPER 80S, LOWER 90S, MORE CHANCES FOR RAIN AND CHANCES FOR RA
