SPORTS. HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY. AND BACK TO YOU. AND NOW IT’S TIME FOR ANOTHER CHECK ON OUR FIRST WARNING WEATHER BECAUSE HE NEEDS TO GET YOUR UMBRELLA HANDY BECAUSE THERE IS SOME RAIN HEADED OUR WAY. YOUR UMBRELLAS AND YOUR EMERGENCY RAIN PONCHO, WHICH I KEEP HANDY RIGHT HERE IN THE WEATHER POD I DO IS. IS THAT A CLEAR ONE? JIM? YEAH, THAT’S A CLEAR ONE. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. SO THIS GOES WITH ANY YOU NEED. IT GOES WITH ANY OUTFIT. WELL YOU MIGHT NEED IT THIS WEEK BECAUSE IT IS REALLY GOING TO START TO GET WET AS A MATTER OF FACT IT’S ALREADY STARTING TO GET WET ON WDSU. FIRST WARNING RADAR. LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHING. WE HAVE SO MANY TOOLS. WHEN WE FORECAST THE WEATHER, OF COURSE WE HAVE OUR OWN LIVE LOCAL RADAR, BUT I’M GOING TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING RIGHT NOW THAT I THINK GIVES YOU A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT’S AHEAD FOR YOU LATER ON THIS MORNING, IN THIS AFTERNOON, THIS IS THE VISIBLE SATELLITE VIEW. BASICALLY A PICTURE FROM OUTER SPACE. LOOK WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. VERY THICK CLOUDS THAT ARE MOVING UP TOWARD US. THAT’S WHAT’S GOING TO BE HERE THIS AFTERNOON. SO NOT A LOT OF SUNSHINE EXPECTED ONCE WE GET PAST ABOUT 1:00. LET’S GO BACK TO THE RADAR AND SHOW YOU THESE SHOWERS. THAT WAS A THUNDERSTORM FROM PICAYUNE, PEARL RIVER. A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN FOR YOU, BUT THE RAIN PROBABLY GETTING HEAVIER THIS AFTERNOON. AND ACROSS THE BOARD THERE’S A THUNDERSTORM. WELL, YES, IT IS A THUNDERSTORM. IT HAS A COUPLE OF LIGHTNING STRIKES JUST TO THE WEST OF HOUMA. BUT AGAIN, I SHOWED YOU THOSE CLOUDS IN THE GULF. HERE’S THE RAIN AND THE THUNDERSTORM WITH THAT AREA OF CLOUDINESS. THAT’S WHAT’S AHEAD FOR US LATER TODAY. CURRENT CONDITIONS AT LOUIS ARMSTRONG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT INCLUDE 88 DEGREES AND YES, SKIES ARE PARTLY CLOUDY IN A LOT OF SPOTS, BUT THE CLOUDS ARE GOING TO BE ON THE INCREASE WINDS FROM THE SOUTHEAST AT ABOUT TEN MILES PER HOUR. TROPIC WATCH. WE HAVE TWO AREAS OF CLOUDINESS THAT THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IS WATCHING. FIRST, A BROAD AREA OF LOW, LOW PRESSURE. SOMETHING MAY DEVELOP CLOSE TO THE BAHAMAS AND DRIFT BACK TOWARD FLORIDA. WE’RE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE IN CENTRAL AMERICA AGAIN, KIND OF A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE. BUT THE HURRICANE CENTER IS GOING TO BE WATCHING THE SOUTHERN GULF OF MEXICO. THEY SAY THERE’S A 10% CHANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, A 60% CHANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. DRIFTING TO THE NORTH, BRINGING SOME HEAVY RAINS TO MEXICO, MAYBE EVEN SOUTHERN TEXAS. AND IT COULD INCREASE OUR MOISTURE JUST A LITTLE BIT. THAT TROPICAL WAVE THAT I SHOWED YOU. AND IT’S SO DISORGANIZED, DRIFTING BACK TOWARD FLORIDA OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. 30% CHANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT WITH THAT OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. HERE’S WHAT WE’RE CONCERNED ABOUT. THE RAIN. THIS IS THE WAY IT’S LOOKING RIGHT NOW. AND THIS IS VALIDATING. PRETTY GOOD. LOOK WHAT HAPPENS AS WE GO TO ABOUT THE NOON HOUR SHOWERS GETTING MUCH MORE NUMEROUS. SO IN THE NEXT TWO, THREE, FOUR HOURS HAVE THE UMBRELLA HANDY IF YOU’RE GOING OUT TO RUN SOME ERRANDS, CHECK THIS OUT. MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON. MORE SHOWERS, THUNDERSTORMS. WEATHER IMPACT DAY. BECAUSE THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY FOR A LITTLE BIT OF MINOR STREET FLOODING. SAME CASE IS GOING TO BE TRUE TOMORROW BY 8:00, MOST OF THE RAIN WRAPPING UP. BUT TOMORROW MORNING WE’RE GOING TO DO IT AGAIN. WE’RE GOING TO BE TRACKING THE RAIN IN THE GULF OF MEXICO, SHOWERS GETTING MORE NUMEROUS BY THE MID AND LATE MORNING. HERE’S YOUR NOON HOUR ON MONDAY. SO NOT A GREAT NOON HOUR TO GO AHEAD AND RUN ERRANDS. IF YOU GET AN HOUR FOR LUNCH, PROBABLY WANT TO STAY IN BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE WE’LL HAVE SOME HEAVIER RAIN IN PLACE EVEN BY THE MID AFTERNOON. STILL SOME SHOWERS IN PLACE, BUT STARTING TO GET LESS NUMEROUS BY SEVEN 8:00. HOWEVER, TUESDAY LOOKS LIKE IT’S GOING TO BE WET AS WELL. CHANCE FOR RAIN TODAY. OFFICIALLY AT 60%, IT’S UP TO 80% MONDAY AND TUESDAY WEATHER IMPACT DAY BECAUSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE INCREASING BY THE AFTERNOON. HIGH TEMPERATURE CLOSE TO 90 DEGREES BY 8:00. MOST OF THE RAIN WRAPPING UP. ALTHOUGH WE CAN’T RULE OUT A PASSING SHOWER OVERNIGHT AND TOMORROW WE’LL HAVE MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. TOMORROW, THE RAIN MAY BE HEAVY. STREET FLOODING A POSSIBILITY TODAY. POSSIBILITY TOMORROW. THAT’S WHY BOTH DAYS ARE WEATHER IMPACT DAYS AND OUR CHANCE FOR RAIN STAYS AT 80%. ON TUESDAY. I DIDN’T MENTION THE BREEZE, BUT YOU SEE IT THERE ON THE GRAPHIC. THE WIND’S GOING TO BE A FACTOR. SOME WIND GUSTS UP CLOSE TO 25, EVEN 30MPH. POSSIBLY EVEN THROUGH FRIDAY. WE DO GET A LITTLE BIT DRIER BY THE END OF THE WEEK, BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE OFF AND ON W
