AND THE WEATHER GODS ARE SMILING. THAT IS BECAUSE SATURDAY, WHEN IT COMES TO WEATHER, IT IS GOING TO FEEL LIKE SPRING. YOU’RE GOING TO THINK YOU’RE AT JAZZ FEST, NOT IN FEBRUARY AT A SUPER BOWL PARADE. FEELS LIKE SPRING RIGHT NOW. HERE TOO. IN THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS, TRAVERS AND A LOT OF THAT HERE IS TO COME. EVEN IN THE EXTENDED FORECAST LEADING UP TO THE SUPER BOWL, SUPER BOWL PARADE AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. SO, YOU KNOW, IT’S LOOKING GOOD HERE. AND A LIVE LOOK THERE BEHIND ME FROM OUR HYATT REGENCY CAMERA. NICE VIEW. JUST A LITTLE BIT OF MOISTURE IN THE AIR TO PROVOKE THE CLOUD COVER TODAY. AND ALSO SOME OF YOU PROBABLY RAN INTO SOME OF THOSE SCATTERED SHOWERS. SO LET’S GET TO WDSU FIRST. WARNING DOPPLER WEATHER RADAR. RIGHT NOW THE SHOWER ACTIVITY IS MAINLY FOCUSED TOWARDS THE SOUTHERN HALF HERE OF LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN. THE CAUSEWAY AND ALSO NEAR PONTCHARTRAIN SHORES. THAT’S WHERE WE’RE TRACKING SOME OF THOSE MODERATE RAIN SHOWERS, EVEN TOWARDS THE BAYOU UP TOWARDS SAINT CHARLES PARISH AND ALSO NEAR LAFOURCHE PARISH AS WELL. WE’RE TRACKING SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS. WE GOT A WARM, MOIST AIR MASS COMING UP FROM THE GULF HERE, AND THAT HAS LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CLOUD COVER AND THE SHOWERS HERE TODAY, ALONG WITH THE WINDS HERE AROUND 10 TO 15 MILES AN HOUR COMING UP FROM THE SOUTH. SO THAT’S REALLY WARMED US UP AS WELL, WITH THOSE HIGHS EXPECTED TO REACH THOSE UPPER 70S TO THOSE LOWER 80S. AND YOU CAN SEE RIGHT NOW WE PRETTY MUCH TOPPED OFF TOWARD OUR HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY INTO THOSE UPPER 70S LOWER 80S. ALL RIGHT. SO AS WE HEAD INTO TONIGHT, WE’RE EXPECTING PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WATCHING FOR SOME OVERNIGHT FOG. THOUGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE PRETTY MILD HERE AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW MORNING, MAINLY INTO THOSE LOWER 60S. LET’S TALK ABOUT THE TEMPERATURES, AT LEAST FOR THE HIGHS GOING FORWARD, BECAUSE IT WILL REMAIN WARM. WE’RE TALKING UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S THROUGH AT LEAST MONDAY MID 70S. SO MAYBE SLIGHTLY COOLER TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, BUT STILL WELL ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. I DO WANT TO QUICKLY TOUCH ON THE FOG THOUGH, BECAUSE THAT IS STILL A BIG STORY, WHICH IS WHY WE STILL HAVE WEATHER IMPACT DAYS GOING INTO EFFECT ACROSS THE BOARD HERE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. LOOK AT THE FOG POTENTIAL, DROPPING OUR VISIBILITIES TO BELOW A MILE IN MANY LOCATIONS ACROSS SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA TOMORROW MORNING. AND THE SAME CAN BE SAID AS WE HEAD INTO SATURDAY MORNING AND ONCE AGAIN AS WE HEAD INTO SUNDAY. SO WE’RE KIND OF STUCK HERE IN THIS FOGGY WEATHER PATTERN, IF YOU WILL, HERE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. BUT MEANWHILE, I DO WANT TO GET TO YOU. THE SUPER BOWL HOST COMMITTEE PARADE FORECAST, BECAUSE THINGS ARE STILL LOOKING GREAT. 68 DEGREES AT 8:00 HERE BEFORE THE PARADE STARTS AT 10:00. ONCE THINGS KICK OFF, WE’RE LOOKING PARTLY CLOUDY WITH A TEMPERATURE OF 71. VERY COMFORTABLE THERE. BY NOON, MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, MAYBE A SHOWER OR TWO. POSSIBLE TEMPERATURES WARMING UP TO ABOUT 75. BUT ALL IN ALL, VERY NICE HERE FOR THE PARADE. AND WDSU IS THE OFFICIAL BROADCAST PARTNER. YOU CAN CATCH OUR PARADE COVERAGE RIGHT HERE ON WDSU AND ON YOUR OFFICIAL WDSU. FIRST WARNING, SEVEN DAY FORECAST WEATHER IMPACT DAYS THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
