Impact Day: Very foggy morning
Updated: 7:06 AM CST Dec 17, 2024
EXPLAINS WHY IT’S AN IMPACT DAY. YES, INDEED. ALL RIGHT, SO LET ME JUST SHOW YOU WHAT THIS IS. THIS IS LOOKING FROM CHALMETTE RIGHT NOW. THERE’S DOWNTOWN. THERE’S THE CRESCENT CITY CONNECTION. RIGHT THERE IS THE RIVER. SO YOU CAN SEE THAT THICK LAYER OF FOG RIGHT NOW. SO USE CAUTION AS YOU’RE HEADING OUTSIDE THIS MORNING. THAT’S WHY IT’S AN IMPACT DAY BECAUSE OF THE FOG. LOOKING AT VISIBILITY, EVERYBODY ELSE ALSO DEALING WITH THIS THIS MORNING. THIS IS A LOT WORSE THAN YESTERDAY. SO YOU SAW SOME FOG YESTERDAY. WELL THAT’S NOTHING COMPARED TO THIS MORNING. LOOKING AT LESS THAN A MILE OUT IN THE BAYOU. SO LOOKING AT LAPLACE, ALSO LOOKING AT LESS THAN A MILE AT 55, YOU GOT SOME FOG FOR YOU TOO AS WELL. AND THEN ALONG I-10 TOO. SO LOOKING AT FOG FOR A GOOD PORTION OF US, ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH SHORE, YOU’RE ALL LOOKING AT LESS THAN A MILE AS OF RIGHT NOW, WATER TEMPERATURES, THOUGH WE’RE ALSO LOOKING AT SOME FOG OVER LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN. SO YOUR WATERWAYS FOR TODAY GOING TO BE ON THE FOGGY SIDE AS WELL. WE’RE ALSO LOOKING AT SOME LIGHTER WINDS. YESTERDAY WE HAD WIND SPEEDS 5 TO 10MPH. THAT WAS ACTUALLY KIND OF HELPING GET RID OF SOME OF THE FOG. BUT THIS MORNING, MORE CALM WINDS AND THAT’S ALLOWING IT TO STICK AROUND A LITTLE LONGER. SO HERE’S WHAT’S BASICALLY HAPPENING OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. WATER TEMPERATURES ARE SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN WHAT THE ACTUAL AIR TEMPERATURE IS THAT’S BLOWING OVER IT. AND THEN IT WILL EVENTUALLY START TO COOL THE AIR. AND THEN YOU GET FOG. SO THAT’S WHY WE’RE DEALING WITH SOME FOG THIS MORNING. SO KEEP THAT IN MIND. WE’LL ALSO SEE THAT SAME THING FOR TOMORROW. SO TOMORROW IS ANOTHER IMPACT DAY DUE TO FOG. AND I DO THINK WE’LL ACTUALLY SEE TOMORROW FOG DEVELOP TONIGHT. LOOKING AT 11 P.M. YOU WILL START TO SEE SOME SPOTS DROP IN THAT VISIBILITY. AND THEN TOMORROW MORNING. ABSOLUTELY. SO THERE’S THE LIKELIHOOD THAT TOMORROW COULD BE WORSE THAN TODAY. SO WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED IF WE DO END UP SEEING SOME DENSE FOG ADVISORIES POP UP FOR FOR US FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BEFORE THINGS START TO CLEAR OUT. WE ARE NO STRANGER TO FOG IN THE AREA, LOOKING AT ABOUT 30 TO 40 DAYS OF FOG PER YEAR. HERE’S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE NOW. JUST ANOTHER VISUAL. SEE THE RIVER BELOW? YOU CAN’T SEE IT, BUT THE FOG OVER IT AND THEN YOUR TEMPERATURES. RIGHT NOW WE’RE ALL VERY MILD. STARTING OFF INTO THE 60S ONCE AGAIN, SO IT’S NOT COLD OUTSIDE. VERY SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY. MAYBE YOU NEED A LIGHT JACKET FOR THIS MORNING. ONCE YOU GET TO THE AFTERNOON, WE ARE ALL WARMING BACK UP INTO THOSE MID TO CLOSE TO SOME UPPER 70S, ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH SHORE NEAR THE COASTAL AREAS, SO NOT QUITE AS WARM. STILL LOOKING AT THE UPPER 60S. THAT’S MILD FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. LOW TEMPERATURES FOR TONIGHT ALSO GOING TO BE ON THE MILD SIDE TOO. SO VERY SIMILAR TO WHERE WE’RE STARTING OUT FOR THIS MORNING. SO ALMOST A RINSE AND REPEAT LOOKING AT SOME 50S. BUT MORE OF US WILL START TO BE A LITTLE BIT COOLER ESPECIALLY ON THE NORTH SHORE. RAIN CHANCES NOT REALLY THERE. AND TODAY WE’RE GOING TO STAY DRY FOR TOMORROW. THERE’S A HIT OR MISS CHANCE AND IT’S SO SPOTTY. I THINK MOST OF US ARE GOING TO STAY DRY. WE DO HAVE A COLD FRONT MOVING IN, HOWEVER. WEDNESDAY INTO YOUR THURSDAY THAT’S GOING TO DROP OUR DEW POINTS QUITE A BIT AND THEN THINGS WILL COOL OFF FOR US. SO HERE’S AS THAT FRONT MOVES IN AND WE WILL GET A CHANCE TO REACH OUR HIGH FOR THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY. BECAUSE OF THE TIMING OF THE FRONT’S GOING TO MOVE IN LATER. BUT ALONG WITH THAT, WE COULD SEE A COUPLE OF SHOWERS. BUT IT’S NOT A GUARANTEED CHANCE OF THAT AT ALL. SO JUST A HEADS UP. YEAH, WE’RE GOING TO LOOK AT SOME COOLER WEATHER UP AHEAD. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE REST OF THE WDSU FIRST WARNING SEVEN-DAY FORECAST ABOUT A 10 TO 15 DEGREE DIFFERENCE ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. AND THEN ANOTHER FRONT MOVES IN BY THE WEEKEND. TH
Impact Day: Very foggy morning

Today is a WDSU First Warning Weather Impact Day due to dense fog on the morning commute. Fog is expected to be worse than Monday and we’re declaring Wednesday an Impact Day because of another round of fog. Visibility everywhere on the Northshore is less than a mile. We’re also looking at less than a mile out in the bayou areas including Houma and Thibodaux. Fog will stick around longer over the waterways but will clear up for everyone else by mid-morning. Morning temperatures are again mild, in the 50s and 60s. After the fog, expect partly cloudy skies with highs in the mid 70s. We are not expected rain today. Lows fall to the 50s and 60s with more fog developing tonight. Wednesday morning’s commute will be foggy, and likely worse than today. Highs will reach the 70s again, but a front moves in Wednesday evening into Thursday. We’ll see a few showers as it moves through. This drops our temperatures Thursday and Friday to the 60s. Another front moves in and drops our temperatures to the 50s for the weekend.
