OBVIOUSLY, ALL EYES ON NEXT WEEK AND ALL EYES HERE ON THE PONTCHARTRAIN CONSERVANCY CAM. RIGHT NOW. PRETTY PICTURE. JUST A LITTLE BIT OF LAST OF THE SUNLIGHT GOING DOWN. BUT AS WE GET INTO NEXT WEEK, THE NEW ORLEANS HOST COMMITTEE PARADE, WE’VE GOT THAT FORECAST FOR SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8TH. THAT WILL BE ROLLING FROM ELYSIAN FIELDS DOWN AS WE GO TO THE WAREHOUSE DISTRICT WHERE IT ENDS. 6267, UP TO 70. THERE’S A VERY SLIM CHANCE OF A SHOWER. I HAVEN’T SEEN TOO MANY SIGNALS OF DEFINITIVE RAIN CHANCES, BUT ALREADY LOOKING AHEAD TO THE BIG GAME THE NEXT DAY LOOKS PRETTY SIMILAR BOTH DAYS, BUT I THINK WE TOP OUT ABOUT 72. AND AGAIN, THAT SLIM CHANCE OF THE SHOWERS IN THERE RIGHT NOW. THERE COULD BE A FRONT GETTING CLOSE TO THE REGION, BUT WE’VE STILL GOT TIME TO GET UP BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. REAL TIME TEMPERATURES WILL GET A LOOK AT AFTER WE COVER THE STATS FOR THE DAY. 49 TO 51, WHERE WE STARTED FROM DOWN AT LEAST OFFICIALLY AT THE AIRPORT. THE LAKEFRONT ENDED UP AT 71. BATON ROUGE WAS TO OFF 80 DEGREES TODAY. THEY MIGHT DO IT THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. YOU GOT 60 DEGREE TEMPERATURES ALREADY EASING BACK, SHOWING YOU THOSE DEW POINTS YET AGAIN. WHEN THOSE TWO MEET, WE’RE GOING TO START TO FORM THAT FOG. AND THAT’S WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO ONCE AGAIN HERE TONIGHT. BUT IT MAY BE THE WORST OVER LOCAL WATERS. THAT’S WHERE THE DENSE FOG ADVISORIES ARE UP FOR. RIGHT NOW THAT I’VE SHOWED YOU. WE’LL GET TO IT AGAIN. BIGGER PICTURE FOR US THOUGH, IS THERE IS A SYSTEM COMING IN AFTER A ROUND OF FOG POTENTIAL. THEN IT’S GOING TO BE A ROUND OF SOME SHOWERS AND EVEN A POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORM IN THE MIX. THAT GOES IN EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. BUT MAYBE RIGHT JUST BEFORE THE MORNING RUSH HOUR. SO LET’S COVER THE FOG ADVISORY JUST REAL QUICK. THE DENSE FOG ADVISORY AGAIN SHOWN FOR LOCAL WATERS. IT COULD BE TWIN SPANS THE CAUSEWAY 55. SOME OF THE BIGGEST OFFENDERS. AND OF COURSE ADDITIONS COULD BE MADE TO THIS A LITTLE BIT LATER ON. OUR FOG FORECAST DOES SHOW THAT MAYBE A BIT THICK ALONG THE COASTAL MISSISSIPPI AREA, MAYBE EVEN NORTH SHORE TOO. SO JUST KEEP IT WITH WDSU WILL MAKE SURE TO KEEP YOU ADVISED OF ANY ADDITIONS BEING MADE AND OF COURSE, KEEPING YOU COVERED IN THE MORNING HOURS. METEOROLOGIST RAVEN RICHARD AND BRANDI B.HARRIS WITH TRAFFIC TEMPERATURES RIGHT AROUND 57, 58, 59 TO 60. SO IT’S A COOL START, NOT A COLD ONE BY ANY MEANS. AND I THINK WE GET A DECENT AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE TO POP TOMORROW. BEFORE THEN, WE’RE TRACKING STORMS. WHAT ARE WE DOING FOR TOP TEMPS? I THINK WITH A STRONG ENOUGH SOUTHEAST BREEZE AT 10 TO 20, WE COULD BE GETTING TO 76. WITH THE HELP OF THAT SUN THAT’S THERE. SEE THAT 80 FOR BATON ROUGE? LET’S TRACK THE STORMS. THIS IS EARLY MORNING HOURS, 2 A.M. ON FRIDAY. COULD SEE THE FIRST LINE OF THESE STORMS MOVING INTO THE NORTHWEST. TYPICAL PATTERN THAT WE SEE WITH THESE FRONTS THAT MOVE THROUGH. AND THEN RIGHT IN BEFORE DAYBREAK ABOUT 5:00, SHOWS WE’VE GOT A BROKEN LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN AMONGST THE SHOWERS WITHIN THE LINE, BUT IT’S NOT GOING TO THAT REAL HEFTY STAGE BY THE GUIDE. BUT IT COULD MEAN WET ROADS FOR THE TIME YOU NEED TO GET UP AND GET GOING AND AROUND FOR FRIDAY, SO AT LEAST AN IMPACT DAY FOR WET ROADS TO GET AROUND. THERE’S A SMALL RISK FOR A STORM BEING STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE, BUT WE’RE WAY ON THE EASTERN EDGE OF THIS. SO AGAIN, THIS IS FOR THURSDAY INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING ABOUT 6 A.M. THIS BEING ON THE EAST SIDE NOTES THAT WE’RE ON THE VERY TAIL END OF STORMS COULD SWING THROUGH. AS FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN, THAT’S FARTHER WEST. THAT’S WHERE I THINK MOST OF THE STORM ACTIVITY COULD BE THE STRONGEST FARTHER NORTH AND WEST FROM HERE. AFTER THE STORMS. CLEAR. WE’RE 70S. IT’S A LITTLE BIT COOLER COMING INTO SATURDAY. BUT OVERALL, AS WE LOOK AHEAD TO THE WEEKEND AND NEXT WEEK TO IT IS LOOKING AWFULLY, AWFULLY NICE IN THIS PARTICULAR FORECAST AS WE EXTEND THAT FORECAST OUT, A FEW SHOWERS, A WEAK FRONT FADING THROUGH, BUT NOT UNTIL WE GET TO NEXT THURSDAY WILL BE THE NEXT LIKELIEST ROUND OF RAIN COMES INTO THE MIX, BUT YOU’LL SEE SMALL CHANCES HERE. OF COURSE, THE ISOLATED SHOWER TONIGHT. TOMORROW. GOT TO GET THROUGH THE MORNING FOG IN THE IN THE ADVISORY AND THE IMPACT DAY. THEN A CHANCE FOR THE STRONGER STORM FRIDAY MORNING. AND THAT’S ANOTHER IMPACT DAY. AND THE

Dense fog could be an issue on Thursday morning while a strong storm or two is possible on Friday morning in your New Orleans weather forecast.Fog could be an issue tonight and Thursday morning, so a Dense Fog Advisory has been issued for local waters which means the Causeway and the Twin Span could be the worst spots for fog. This will be a WDSU First Warning Weather Impact Day.It won’t be that chilly, but cool with most around 58 or so.Get rid of the morning fog and clouds and Thursday could be a very warm day for January standards, topping out around 75 for most of us!Storm potential comes early Friday morning where one or two could be strong, or possibly severe. We’re under a level 1 out of 5, marginal risk for severe storms. The number one threat after heavy rain and cloud to ground lightning will be strong wind gusts over 58 mph.High temperatures won’t be much colder, but still end up in the 70s for most of us!We will get a little cooler on Saturday where highs drop into the 60s, but it should still feel pretty comfortable.The weekend looks pretty nice with a good amount of sun and highs in the 60s and 70s.A chance of light showers returns next week and highs will remain in the 70s.The next likeliest round of rain comes on Thursday.Look for fog Thursday morning and showers and a possible thunderstorm on Friday morning. Then sunnier skies through the weekend before warming back into the 70s next week with a few light showers possible here and there.Take care, and have a good end to your week!- Devon
