Parish-by-parish Severe Weather Impacts For Saturday Night

Parish-by-parish severe weather impacts for Saturday night

A break down of what to expect in each location as severe weather moves in tonight

RIGHT HERE ON WDSU. MEANTIME, LET’S TURN OUR ATTENTION ONCE AGAIN BACK TO YOUR FIRST WARNING WEATHER FORECAST AT 618. RIGHT NOW ON YOUR SATURDAY. WE ARE TRACKING THE POSSIBILITY OF POTENTIALLY SEVERE WEATHER AS WE MOVE INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT ELIZABETH. SO WE’RE GOING TO BE WATCHING THAT AS A COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO MAKE ITS WAY EAST INTO SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA AS WE HEAD INTO LATE TONIGHT. AND BY THAT POINT, AS THAT FRONT MOVES THROUGH, THAT IS OUR BEST CHANCE OF SEEING THE WET WEATHER. THE CAMERA THERE BEHIND ME, OUR HYATT REGENCY CAMERA LOOKING NICE, BUT OUR WEATHER NOT SO MUCH THOUGH AS WE HEAD INTO LATE TONIGHT. A LIVE CHECK ON THE BIGGER PICTURE SHOWING YOU THAT FRONT BACK TO THE WEST OF US NOW A VERY WARM, MOIST AIR OUT AHEAD OF IT. AND THAT IS WHY OUR TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN SO WARM TODAY. AND THOSE THUNDERSTORMS ARE GOING TO START TO TAP INTO SOME OF THAT WARM, MOIST AIR MASSES AS THEY MOVE THROUGH. IN FACT, AS YOU CAN SEE, A PRETTY STRONG LINE OF SHOWERS AND A LOT OF THUNDERSTORMS CONTAINING FREQUENT LIGHTNING IS JUST OFF TO THE WEST OF US. SO WE’RE GOING TO BE ON THAT SOUTHERN FLANK OF THAT LINE AS IT MOVES IN HERE TONIGHT, WEATHER WISE, HERE LOCALLY IN SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA. JUST LOOKING AT SOME CLOUDS HERE, INCREASING FROM THE WEST. AND THAT IS A SIGN OF WHAT IS TO COME LATER TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES ARE INTO THE MID TO UPPER 70 RIGHT NOW 75 BELLE CHASSE 77 LAKEFRONT AND 75 CURRENTLY IN SLIDELL. THE WINDS ARE STILL A LITTLE BIT WINDY FROM THE SOUTH AT AROUND 10 TO 20 MILES AN HOUR. AND THAT’S WHY WE’RE STILL UNDER THIS WIND ADVISORY UNTIL MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. FOR THOSE SOUTH WINDS BETWEEN 15 TO 20 MILES AN HOUR AND OCCASIONAL GUSTS UP TO 40 MILES AN HOUR. CERTAINLY POSSIBLE OUT AHEAD OF THAT STORM SYSTEM THAT’S COMING IN. WE GOT THE PARADE HAPPENING TONIGHT AT THE FRENCH QUARTER, 6:30 P.M. IT STARTS MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND WINDY CONDITIONS HERE, AND THEN PRETTY WINDY. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ALSO POSSIBLE BY AROUND 8 P.M. TEMPERATURES AT AROUND 73. I THINK THE THUNDERSTORMS BECOME A LITTLE BIT MORE WIDESPREAD. AT LEAST A BETTER CHANCE HERE OF SEEING THOSE THUNDERSTORMS BY THE END OF THE PARADE TONIGHT AROUND ROUGHLY 10:00. WINDY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN THOUGH, REGARDLESS. SO HERE IS A QUICK CHECK ON THE SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR TONIGHT. IT’S A LEVEL THREE ENHANCED RISK THAT IS MAINLY TO THE NORTH. HOWEVER, IF WE GO AHEAD AND ZOOM IN TO SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA, THE LEVEL THREE ACTUALLY DOES ENCOMPASS MUCH OF THE NORTH SHORE. SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE STILL HAVE TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO AS THE LEVEL THREE ENHANCED RISK MEANS THAT SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED, THE LEVEL TWO SLIGHT RISK MEANS THAT ISOLATED, SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED, AND THAT’S FOR MUCH OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA. THE WAY IT LOOKS RIGHT NOW, THE MAIN IMPACTS WITH THESE THUNDERSTORMS, WITH ANY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS REALLY JUST GOING TO BE THE THREAT OF DAMAGING WINDS. I GAVE THAT A MEDIUM, AND OVERALL THE THREAT OF TORNADOES, LARGE HAIL AND FLOODING IS VERY LOW RIGHT NOW. SO WE’LL JUST CONTINUE TO MONITOR THOSE OTHER THREATS GOING FORWARD THOUGH, REGARDLESS. SO LET’S TAKE YOU HOUR BY HOUR. HERE WE GO INTO 9:00. YOU CAN STILL SEE SOME POP UP SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. AND THEN AS WE GO THROUGH THE NIGHT BY 1 A.M., HERE COMES THAT COLD FRONT STARTING TO ENTER SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA. AND JUST OUT AHEAD OF IT. THAT’S WHERE WE’RE LOOKING AT THAT STRONG LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BEGINNING TO MOVE THROUGH. AND THEN BY 4 A.M., THAT FRONT CLEARS SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA. BUT YOU CAN STILL SEE SOME SHOWERS AFFECTING LOWER PLAQUEMINES BY THAT POINT. BUT MUCH OF THE AREA IS LOOKING MUCH BETTER IN TERMS OF THE RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS. SO LET’S TALK ABOUT THE REST OF THE DAY TOMORROW. WE’RE JUST GOING TO KEEP THE BREEZES THERE IN PLAY, BUT ALSO LOOKING AT THE CLOUDY WEATHER CONDITIONS AND MOST LOCATIONS IN SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA, THE CLOUDS LOOK LIKE THEY’RE GOING TO STAY IN THE FORECAST AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEK. ON MONDAY HERE, TOO, THE WINDS START TO SHIFT MORE SO OUT OF THE EASTERLY DIRECTION, AND WE’RE LOOKING MUCH COOLER HERE TO MONDAY. AND ALSO BEYOND THE 6 TO 10 DAY TEMPERATURE OUTLOOK HERE GOING FORWARD, AS WE START TO ENTER MORE OF A COLDER PATTERN. IN FACT, THERE’S A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE THAT SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA IS GOING TO SEE BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES HERE IN THE NEXT 6 TO 10 DAYS. IN FACT, YOU START TO SEE SOME EARLY SIGNS OF THIS HERE ON THE WDSU. FIRST WARNING SEVEN DAY FORECAST, WHERE WE ALSO HAVE THOSE WEATHER IMPACT DAYS GOING UP THROUGH FRIDAY FOR SOME COLD TEMPERATURES IN THE MORNING ON SOME DAYS, RAIN ON SOME DAYS ON ON THE SEVEN DAY AS WELL. AND ALSO YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THOS
