WOW. It’s terrible that people don’t see what’s happening across the country in this weather. AND AS SOON AS YOU SEE IT, IT STARTS AGAIN. AND THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN FOR US. UNBELIEVABLE. THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS WITH THOSE AFFECTED BY THESE NATURAL DISASTERS. BUT BACK HERE IN SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA WE ARE VERY BLESSED AND HAPPY TO HAVE VERY NICE WEATHER OUT THERE NOW. YES, IT’S GOING TO BE PRETTY NICE, WARM, HOT, HUMID AND BREEZE. BUT IN THE NEXT DAYS AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE EASTER HOLIDAYS YOU WILL SEE YOU KNOW THIS IS THE TIME FOR YOU TO TRAVEL OR IN FACT FAMILIES COME BACK HERE. SO WHILE WE PASSED THE MID-WEEK, WEATHER WILL WALK A LOT. AND I’LL SHOW YOU THAT FOR A SECOND. LET’S TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT YOUR LOCAL HEADLINES FOR TODAY HERE. POTENTIAL FOR RECORD WARMTH RELATED TO WEATHER. WE WILL SEE THE SAME AGAIN BY MID-WEEK. POTENTIAL RECORD, WARMTH AND THURSDAY AT THE END OF THE EASTER WEEKEND WE LOOK AGAIN AT THE RAIN CHANCES THAT BEGIN TO INCREASE. AND OF COURSE WE ARE NOW TAKING A LOOK AT THE CURRENT CONDITIONS. SUNSHINE IN LAKE AREAS. WE WILL CHECK FOR KENNER, WE WILL START BREAKING UP THESE CLOUDS A LITTLE. YOU ARE NOW LOOKING AT THESE LOW EIGHTIES FOR MIDDLE LADIES. SO IT’S WARM. WE HAVE THIS AIR COMING IN FROM THE GULF. LET’S TAKE A QUICK LOOK HERE. YES, YOU WILL SEE THE RAIN AREA CONTINUES TO MOVE A LITTLE MORE. AS I SHOWED YOU BEFORE, DRIVE VIA ATLANTA, THEN INTO THE CAROLINAS, BACK TO FLORIDA. WE HAVE THIS STREAMING SECTION OF CLOUD COVER THAT WORKS IN TEXAS ALSO, ALL ARE FROM CALIFORNIA OR AT LEAST THE WEST COAST THERE. WE WILL SEE THIS CONTINUE FOR THE BETTER PART OF THE WEEK. BUT UP NORTH THERE IS ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM UP THERE. YOU WILL SEE MORE OF THIS RAIN AND SNOW WORKING OVER THE NORTH SERIES. AGAIN START BUILD ALL THE WAY AND SNOW FALL. AGAIN WE WILL SEE THE TRAVEL CONDITIONS VERY BAD. YOU WILL GO THIS DIRECTION LATER IN THE WEEK. WE WILL ALSO SEE AGAIN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WORKING ACROSS LARGE NATIONAL WHILE WE ALSO GO DEEPER INTO THE WEEK. AND THEN WE WILL TAKE THIS RAINFALL THAT STARTS TO RUBBER ACROSS THE AREA. WE WILL SHOW YOU SHORTLY. DRY AIR FOR THE TIME WORKING OVER MOST OF THE CENTRAL PART OF THE NATION. WE HAVE MORE OF THAT HUMIDITY UP TO THE NORTH. SO LET’S GET HOW THIS ALL LOOKS TO US AS WE GO, WE SEE THE DEW POINTS CONTINUE TO RISE AGAIN, THERE IN THE LOW 70’S THEY WILL BE HOLDING ONTO THE UPPER 60’S EVEN AS WE END THE DAY. WE BRING IT TO TODAY’S CONDITIONS. If we do this, starting in those low 80’s, mid 80’s, until we get to the 3:00 hour, we’ll probably be about 87 today, maybe about 88 degrees. YOU WILL SEE ABOVE IN BOGALUSA, MAYBE ABOUT 87 DEGREES OR SO. IN SOME OF THE LOCATIONS, AS WE FINISH THE AFTERNOON AND GO INTO THE EVENING, YOU WILL ALSO SEE THE CLOUDS STARTING TO COME BACK. YOU WILL START FILTERING WHEN YOU GO INTO THESE SEVENTS, HOLDING TO THAT CLOUD COVERAGE WILL KEEP THAT SEVENTS FOR US EVEN FOR THE NIGHT HOURS. GO IN TOMORROW TOMORROW WE WILL SEE TUESDAY. THEY RECORD THESE 70’S AND 80’S. WE WILL ALSO SEE COMING TOMORROW IN THE AFTERNOON POTENTIALLY SHOWING 89 DEGREES AND WE WILL POTENTIALLY SEE TEMPERATURES AROUND 86, 87 DEGREES OR SO IN SOME CASES. STILL GOING AGAIN IN THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT, STILL STOPPING AT 70. SO VERY UNCOMFORTABLE IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. LET’S TAKE TO WEDNESDAY WHEN YOU SEE MORE CLOUD COVERAGE FILTERING AND MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES 84 TO 88 DEGREES. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, HUMID, WINDY AGAIN, WILL HOLD THE RAINFALL SNAPPING INTO THE NORTH BANKS, MAYBE A SMALL BLIP HERE AND THERE FROM TIME TO TIME. SO IT MAY BE STAINED OR A SHOWER OR TWO WORKS INTO THE PREDICTION. 7175 DEGREES UNTIL WE REACH THE END OF EVENING AND LATE NIGHT. WE WILL SEE CONDITIONS TO AT LEAST MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AGAIN IN THE NEXT DAYS. RAINFALL COMES WITH THE WIND STILL HOLDING UP GROWING COMING IN THINK OF A SWITCH COMING FROM THE SOUTH TURNING EAST OR WILL NOT GET AS MOISTENED AS WE GET. THEN TILL THURSDAY OR SO. 8489 DEG. I HAVE SHOWED YOU WITH POTENTIAL RECORD HEAT THAT’S RIGHT AGAIN IN YOUR TRAVEL FORECAST AS WE GO THROUGH WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY AND AFTER THE WEEKEND. YOU WILL SEE RAINFALL THROUGH THURSDAY, POSSIBLY IN THE NIGHT HOURS. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WELL NORTH OF US. AND THEN WE WILL POSSIBLY RECORD MORE RAINFALL FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND THEN THE MASS OF THAT RAINFALL FOR SATURDAY WILL BE MORE OFFSHORE AND OVER THE COASTAL AREA. SO PEOPLE OUT TO BE BOAT. PLEASE NOTE THIS. YOU WILL SEE RAINFALL AGAIN TRYING TO CREEP BACK TO THE COAST AS WE GO INTO THE SUNDAY AND EARLY PART OF THE DAY AND EVENING. YOU WILL SEE THAT MOST OF THEM WILL REMAIN OFFSHORE. SO NOT SO BAD FOR SUNDAY. SEE YOU PUT THESE EASTER EGGS BACK ON THE GROUND BUT MAYBE A LITTLE MASHY OUT THERE. 68 TO 73 DEGREES FOR YOU, MILES. CONDITIONS WE FINISH MORNING TEMPERATURES. YOU CAN SEE LOW SEVENTS AS I MENTIONED. THE SAME ALSO ON THE NORTH BANK. BUT WE INCLUDE IT IN YOUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST AND WE WILL GO AWAY WITH YOU. THAT’S SO.
