St. Charles Parish Warning People Of Unpaid Tolls Scam

St. Charles Parish warning people of unpaid tolls scam

RIGHT TIME. I WILL. BACK HERE AT HOME, WE’RE DEALING WITH SOME CLOUDY SKIES ONCE AGAIN. WE KIND OF SAW THIS YESTERDAY. JIM. IS THIS THEME GOING TO CONTINUE FOR US THROUGH THE WEEK, YOU THINK? YEAH. WE’RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF REAL STRONG SUNSHINE IN THE AFTERNOON. I THINK UNTIL MAYBE THE LATER PORTION OF THE WEEKEND. WELL, HEY, FOR THE WEEKEND WE’LL BE OKAY. I LIKE THAT, OKAY. A LOT OF CHANGES HAPPENING HERE OVER THE NEXT 5 TO 7 DAYS. WE’RE STARTING WITH THE CLOUDY SKIES. WE’RE GOING TO SEE THOSE PRETTY MUCH ALL AFTERNOON. A COUPLE OF SHOWERS THAT WE’RE TRACKING ON WDSU. FIRST WARNING RADAR. THEY ARE VERY LIGHT. BUT LET’S GO AHEAD AND ZOOM IN AND SHOW YOU LAFITTE IN PARTICULAR, A LITTLE SHOWER THAT MAY BE BRUSHING YOU HERE IN THE NEXT 15 MINUTES. OUR TEMPERATURES ARE COOLER THAN YESTERDAY FOR SURE. WE’RE AT 64 RIGHT NOW IN BOGALUSA 62. OUR CURRENT TEMPERATURE IN HAMMOND, EVEN COOLER THAN THAT IN BATON ROUGE 57. THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE THERE 71, THOUGH IN GRAND ISLE, SLIGHTLY COOLER AND DRIER AIR MOVING IN FROM THE NORTH 65 DEGREES. OUR TEMPERATURE RIGHT NOW AT LOUIS ARMSTRONG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. THERE’S THAT NORTH TO NORTH EASTERLY WIND BRINGING OUR DEW POINT DOWN A LITTLE BIT ON THE NORTH SHORE. RIGHT NOW, THE AIR IS SIGNIFICANTLY DRIER BECAUSE THAT’S WHERE THE COOLER AIR HAS MOVED IN. ALL RIGHT. TAKE A LOOK AT THE REGIONAL SATELLITE AND COMPOSITE RADAR. YOU SEE A COUPLE OF THOSE LITTLE SHOWERS POPPING UP. WE HAVE A FRONT TO THE SOUTH OF US. IS THIS FRONT GOING TO JUST WASH OUT OR IS IT COMING BACK AS A WARM FRONT? IT REALLY DOESN’T MATTER. WE’RE GOING TO START TO SEE A WIND SHIFT TOMORROW. AND WARMER AIR WILL BE MOVING IN BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON. BUT THEN ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL BE MOVING THROUGH ON WEDNESDAY. AND THAT’S GOING TO BRING US A VERY GOOD CHANCE FOR SHOWERS, MAYBE SOME THUNDERSTORMS ON WEDNESDAY AS WELL. STILL A LOT OF MOISTURE AT THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. THAT’S WHAT YOU SEE RIGHT HERE ON THE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. THAT MOISTURE THAT’S GOING TO TRANSLATE TO CLOUD COVER FOR US OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT THERE ISN’T ANY REAL COLD AIR OUT THERE. IT’S ALMOST THE ZONAL FLOW THAT WE’VE SEEN FOR A WHILE. EVEN THOUGH A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. SURE. TEMPERATURES GOING DOWN BY A LITTLE BIT, BUT THE TEMPERATURES NOT DRAMATICALLY GETTING A LOT COLDER. WE’LL STAY WITH THE CLOUDS FOR THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON. MAY HAVE 1 OR 2 SHOWERS AND PUTTING THE CHANCE FOR RAIN OFFICIALLY AT 20%, BUT IF YOU SEE A SHOWER, IT’S GOING TO BE VERY, VERY LIGHT. HERE WE ARE AT 730 THIS EVENING. WALK AROUND THE BLOCK AFTER DINNER. PRETTY COMFORTABLE. TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 60S THERE. TOMORROW MORNING WE’LL START FOGGY AGAIN AND WE MAY HAVE A COUPLE OF SHOWERS. NOTICE HOW THE WINDS BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY. CALLING FOR ABOUT A 20 TO 30% CHANCE FOR SHOWERS IN YOUR FORECAST ON TUESDAY, BUT THE REAL CHANCE FOR RAIN IS GOING TO COME ON WEDNESDAY WHEN THIS FRONT MOVES THROUGH. AS A MATTER OF FACT, LET’S GO THROUGH WEDNESDAY FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, PICKING UP ON A COUPLE OF SHOWERS, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN COMES HERE. AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EVENING. THEN EARLY THURSDAY THE FRONT MOVES TO THE SOUTH. NOW IT’S GOING TO BE CLOSE ENOUGH WHERE WE’RE STILL GOING TO BE SOMEWHAT CLOUDY. I THINK THURSDAY, FRIDAY, THEN A REAL CHANCE FOR RAIN AGAIN COMING FOR US ON SATURDAY THANKS TO ANOTHER FRONT. HERE’S YOUR SATURDAY ABOUT 6 P.M. FRONT SHOULD FINALLY CLEAR FOR US BY EARLY SUNDAY MORNING, MAKING SUNDAY THE BETTER OF THE TWO WEEKEND DAYS. AND THAT’S WHEN THE SUNSHINE, THE STRONG SUNSHINE SHOULD RETURN FOR US. WE WILL BE FOGGY AGAIN TOMORROW MORNING. VISIBILITY LESS THAN A MILE IN A FEW SPOTS. A LITTLE BIT FOGGY AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY. BUT AFTER THAT I THINK WE’RE DONE WITH MORNING FOG. MOSTLY CLOUDY AND COOLER. JUST A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS TODAY WITH A HIGH TEMPERATURE RIGHT AROUND 70 DEGREES. ISOLATED SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST TONIGHT WITH THAT FOG REDEVELOPING FOR US. WEATHER IMPACT DAY TOMORROW. BECAUSE OF THAT MORNING FOG. COULD HAVE A DENSE FOG ADVISORY IN SOME OF OUR PARISHES. PARTLY CLOUDY WITH A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS. OTHERWISE. AND OUR HIGH TEMPERATURE IN THE UPPER 70S TOMORROW. SO THERE’S THAT WARMER AIR THANKS TO THE WIND SHIFT. WEDNESDAY, WEATHER IMPACT DAY BECAUSE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT COULD BE A BIT ON THE STRONG SIDE. MAINLY DRY THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY. ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WEATHER IMPACT DAY THERE BECAUSE A COUPLE OF THE STORMS COULD BE STRONG SUNDAY. IMPROVING WEATHER. CLEARI
