LEE, HOW ARE WE LOOKING TODAY? IT’S IT’S A VERY SUMMERLIKE DAY. IT HAS BEEN A BEAUTIFUL START FOR A LOT OF US. GORGEOUS SUNRISE OUT THERE. BUT I’VE BEEN TRACKING SOME RAIN, TOO. AND THAT’S MAINLY FOR THOSE OF YOU ON THE SOUTH SHORE AND IN COASTAL AREAS. YOU CAN SEE THAT’S STILL WHERE A LOT OF THAT RAIN IS HOLDING ON. SO RIGHT NOW, WE DO HAVE SOME LIGHTNING FLASHING JUST SOUTH OF LAFAYETTE. THIS IS ONE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM HERE THAT WE’VE BEEN WATCHING OVER THE PAST 30 MINUTES OR SO. SO STILL A GOOD BIT OF LIGHTNING ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. THE SHOWER ACTIVITY NEAR GOLDEN MEADOW AND GALLIANO STARTING TO DISSIPATE, THOUGH YOU COULD LIKELY HEAR SOME RUMBLES OF THUNDER AND GRAND ISLE STILL SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN BACK TOWARDS YOU, OVER TOWARDS THE MOUTH OF THE RIVER. NOT TOO BAD. STILL, MOST OF THE SHOWER ACTIVITY STAYING OFFSHORE. MORE OF THIS, AGAIN, OFF TO THE WEST, TOO. BUT REALLY JUST ALONG COASTAL AREAS. WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS POP UP OVER WATER STILL TO, FOR THE MOST PART, LOOKS LIKE WE NOW HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN OVER THE LAKE. ONE SMALL DOWNPOUR THERE. AND WE ARE KEEPING AN EYE ON THIS THUNDERSTORM OUT HERE, TOO. SO, AGAIN, A LOT OF YOU DRY THIS MORNING, ESPECIALLY ON THE NORTH SHORE. BUT WE COULD SEE SOME MORE RAIN DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS. A VERY, AGAIN, SUMMERLIKE PATTERN. WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF FOG OUT THERE, PATCHY FOG THIS MORNING. BUT FOR MOST OF YOU, WE’RE GOOD TO GO WHEN IT COMES TO VISIBILITY. TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING SITTING IN THE 60S AND 70S, IT IS A MUGGY START TO THE DAY. HEADS UP HANCOCK COUNTY FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN UNDER THE COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY, MAINLY THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE COUNTY, YOU’RE UNDER IT AGAIN TODAY STARTING AT 10 A.M. AND THAT GOES UNTIL. 7 P.M. BESIDES THAT, ACROSS OUR AREA, TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO WARM UP MAINLY INTO THE UPPER 80S. AND IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING, THAT’S WHEN THUNDERSTORM CHANCES RAMP UP A LITTLE BIT. HIGHS TODAY. WE’LL RANGE ANYWHERE FROM 86 TO 91 DEGREES. SO VERY WARM AND HUMID JUST LIKE YESTERDAY WITH SOME SCATTERED STORM ACTIVITY. SO IN THE MORNING HOURS, IT’S MAINLY JUST ISOLATED ACTIVITY, KIND OF LIKE WHAT WE’RE TRACKING RIGHT NOW. AND THEN AS WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS WITH MORE OF THAT DAYTIME HEATING, WE COULD SEE SOME MORE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP, RAIN CHANCES OVERALL COMING IN AT ABOUT 40%. I CAN’T RULE OUT SOME LINGERING RAIN INTO OUR EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS EITHER. LOWS WILL DROP DOWN INTO THE UPPER 60S AND LOW 70S. FOR THOSE OF YOU ON THE NORTH SHORE AND MAINLY THE LOW AND MIDDLE 70S, FOR THOSE OF YOU ON THE SOUTH SHORE, THEN TOMORROW IT WILL BE HOTTER THAN TODAY. HIGHS WILL RANGE ANYWHERE FROM 89 TO 94 DEGREES. MOST OF US MOVE INTO THE 90S. IT’LL BE A PARTLY CLOUDY DAY WITH MORE SCATTERED STORMS OUT THERE. I’M GOING WITH THE 40% CHANCE OF RAIN YET AGAIN FOR OUR THURSDAY AND WE’LL STAY BETWEEN 30 TO 40% FOR OUR RAIN CHANCES. ALL THE WAY THROUGH SATURDAY. MEANWHILE, TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO WARM UP. SO TOMORROW WE MOVE INTO THE 90S FOR MOST OF US AND I THINK THAT’S WHERE WE STAY. THEN OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS OR AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE THIS TIME OF YEAR IS 89 DEGREES. SO TODAY IS SEASONABLE AND THEN WE GET A LITTLE BIT WARMER THAN NORMAL. SO IF YOU ARE HEADING TO BATON ROUGE ON SATURDAY, BE PREPARED FOR THE HEAT HIGHS NEAR 92 DEGREES. HEAT INDEX VALUES CLOSER TO 100, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN’T RULE OUT SOME SCATTERED STORMS ON OUR SATURDAY QUICK CHECK ON THE TROPICS. GOT A NEW UPDATE FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER. 0% CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT WITH THAT SYSTEM THAT WAS NEAR THE AZORES. AND THAT WAS THE ONLY THING THEY WERE TRACKING. THERE’S NO TROPICAL THREATS TO THE GULF TODAY. AGAIN, WE HAVE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AROUND. SAME ON THURSDAY. RAIN CHANCES DROP BACK BY THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND, BUT TEMPERATURES START TO HEAT UP. WE WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE 90S. MOST OF US WILL BY SUNDAY AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. AND AGAIN, HEAT INDEX VALUES GETTIN
