Dry October skies continue with low humidity and cool mornings

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - A quiet stretch of weather continues, but as the week continues to get warmer and stay dry, fire concerns grow. High pressure is anchored well to our north, and a ridge building over the western Gulf is about to slide west, setting up deep northwest flow by Wednesday. That means sunshine, light winds and virtually no chance of rain through the rest of the week.

Drought worsens with the forecast offering little hope for relief

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - While we’re enjoying a run of beautiful fall weather, the lack of rainfall recently is becoming an increasing concern. Before we dive into the forecast, it’s worth noting that a ‘space jellyfish’ might be visible across portions of southeast Louisiana and southwest Mississippi early Tuesday. The ‘jellyfish cloud’ would be in association with the SpaceX Bandwagon-5 mission launching from Florida during the predawn hours. Another SpaceX launch a week ago produced quite the show for those along the Louisiana coast who were up to witness it, but there is uncertainty in how far west it my be visible due to our distance from the launch site and it being very low on the horizon.
