THANKS, BRITTANY. WE TOLD YOU EARLIER ABOUT THE WDSU FIRST WARNING WEATHER IMPACT DAY. THIS IS GOING TO BE FOR FOG POTENTIAL. OUR PONTCHARTRAIN CONSERVANCY CAMERA BEHIND ME, ONE OF THE BIGGER OFFENDERS RIGHT THERE ON THE LAKEFRONT WHERE WE CAN SEE FOG FORMS FIRST. I’M LOOKING AT TWIN SPANS. I’M LOOKING AT THE CAUSEWAY HERE TOO. BUT FIRST, LET’S START WITH WDSU. FIRST WARNING WEATHER. DOPPLER RADAR STILL FINDING SOME RAIN. IN FACT, WE’VE GOT SOME HEFTIER SHOWERS THAT ARE ON THE WAY TO FRANKLIN, FRANKLIN AND EVEN BATON ROUGE. THERE’S FRANKLIN, THERE’S BATON ROUGE, MORGAN CITY. MAYBE YOU’RE GETTING A COUPLE OF SHOWERS OUT OF THAT. I HAVE SEEN A COUPLE OF SPRINKLES AS WE GO TO THE NORTH SHORE. SAINT TAMMANY PARISH, AS YOU HEAD TOWARDS THE BORDER IN THE PEARL RIVER AND GO A LITTLE BIT OVER THERE, WE HAVE SEEN SHOWERS ROLL THROUGH VERY LIGHT IN NATURE. IT’S A BRIEF LITTLE SHOWER RIGHT THROUGH KENNER, RIGHT THROUGH SOME SHOWERS. AS WE’VE SEEN WESTWEGO AUDUBON PARK. SO EVEN LOWER GARDEN DISTRICT HAD A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN HERE TOO. BUT THERE’S WHAT I WAS JUST DISCUSSING. THOSE SHOWERS AND SPRINKLES AS YOU HEAD FROM SAINT TAMMANY PARISH TO HANCOCK COUNTY. SO WE HAVE SEEN A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN TODAY. HASN’T BEEN A WHOLE LOT FOR MOST, BUT THAT JUST COVERS WHAT WE GOT AT THIS TIME. IF YOU HAD SOME RAINDROPS ON YOUR CAR AT ONE POINT, THAT’S WHY. SO LET’S GO THROUGH THE STATS REAL QUICK. LOW TEMPERATURES TODAY, 60S WHERE WE ENDED UP IT WAS ALMOST 80 IN THE BOGALUSA, BATON ROUGE WE TOPPED OUT 76 OFFICIALLY HERE. GRAND ISLE GALLIANO. YOU WERE AT 78. REAL TIME TEMPS WERE COUPLE 70S IN SOME SPOTS, LIKE BELLE CHASSE AT 73. OFFICIALLY WE STAND AT 69 DEW POINTS RIGHT BEHIND THIS. SO WHEN WE PUT THE AIR TEMP TO THE DEW POINT, WE START TO MAKE CLOUDS START TO BRING THAT INVISIBLE WATER OUT OF THE AIR. TEENY TINY LITTLE WATER DROPLETS PUT IT ON THE GROUND. WE GOT FOG. WITH THE WINDS START TO RELAX A LITTLE BIT MORE. THAT COULD BE THE BIG ISSUE RIGHT NOW. THOSE WINDS AROUND FIVE, MAYBE EIGHT, TEN MILES PER HOUR. IT’S STILL ENOUGH TO KEEP THE FOG FROM REALLY FORMING. SO WE HAVEN’T SEEN A WHOLE LOT IN VISIBILITY DOWN JUST YET. REDUCED A LITTLE BIT BELLE CHASSE IN A HOME, BUT FOR THE MOST PART WE’RE DOING OKAY. IT’S ONCE WE GET A LITTLE BIT LATER, CLOSER TO NINE, 10:00. USUALLY THE TIME WE START TO FIND THIS FOG REALLY STARTING TO FORM, AND THEN WE GO AFTER MIDNIGHT AND TOMORROW MORNING, AND THAT’S WHERE IT’S WORST FOR YOU. SO FOG FORMATION, STILL MILD DAYS AHEAD. ANOTHER ROUND OF FOG WEDNESDAY MORNING COULD BE THE WORST OF IT, BUT A COLD FRONT COMING THROUGH DOESN’T BRING A WHOLE LOT OF RAIN. BUT IT WILL SCOUR OUT THAT HUMIDITY TO BRING THE FOG FORECAST AWAY. IT WILL DROP IN A LITTLE COLDER AIR TO ROUND OUT THE WEEK. 50S 60S TO START OFF TOMORROW MORNING. AND THERE’S THAT FOG FORECAST WHEN ANY TIME WE DROP THE VISIBILITY BELOW A MILE, THAT’S INDICATING SOME DENSE FOG POTENTIAL. WHEN IT’S BELOW A QUARTER MILE, THAT’S WHEN IT’S BAD. THAT’S WHERE IT GETS A LITTLE DANGEROUS ON THE ROADS. YOU GOT TO GIVE IT EXTRA TIME AND GIVE IT MORE TIME. LEAD WAY OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. SO I HAVE CAUTION FLAGS FOR THE MORNING TOMORROW. CHECK IN METEOROLOGIST RAVEN RICHARD, AND WE’VE GOT BRANDI B.HARRIS ON TRAFFIC WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH IT. THIS IS ANOTHER INDICATION IN OUR HIGH RES FORECAST WHAT LOOKS LIKE LITTLE BITS OF SHOWERS. KNOW. THAT USUALLY INDICATES FOG. A LOT OF SATURATION, HUMIDITY COMING TOGETHER. THINK WE GET A DECENT AMOUNT OF SUN IN THE AFTERNOON? IT’S ANOTHER MILD, WARM DECEMBER DAY AND THEN WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS COULD BE THE WORST OF THE WIDESPREAD FOG TO SET IN. AND THAT HIGH RES FORECAST CONFIRMS IT TOO. SO WE HAVE IMPACT DAYS TOMORROW INTO WEDNESDAY. BUT AFTERNOON SUNSHINE POPPING IN, STILL MILD. WE’RE BACK INTO THE 70S. NOT UNTIL WE GET TO THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. COOLER AIR AND A SECONDARY FRONT BY THE WEEKEND THIS DROPS IN EVEN COLDER AIR AS WE GO TO SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WE’RE LOOKING AT A LIGHT BREEZE. NORTH SHORE, MAYBE ABOUT 40 DEGREES HERE, BUT IF I GIVE YOU A LONG LEAD FORECAST GOING INTO CHRISTMAS EVE, CHRISTMAS DAY, THIS PARTICULAR FORECAST OUT OF THE UNITED STATES, NOT MUCH CHRISTMAS EVE, MAYBE CHRISTMAS DAY, YOU SEE HERE ON WEDNESDAY SHOWERS, BUT A FORECAST OUT OF EUROPE MUCH DIFFERENT. A LOT MORE RAIN COMING IN CHRISTMAS EVE TO CHRISTMAS DAY. SO IF I WOULD ROUND THIS UP, I STILL HAVE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS FOR BOTH DAYS. BUT AGAIN, WE SEE BIG DIFFERENCES IN THAT FORECAST. I’LL GIVE YOU A RAINIER FORECAST NOW, HOPING IT IMPROVES IMPACT DAYS THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. COOLER AIR AS WE ROUND OUT THAT WEEK,
