CEASEFIRE DEAL. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS NOT TOO FAR AWAY FROM US RIGHT NOW. WE’RE STILL UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE CLOUDY WEATHER OUT AHEAD OF THAT STORM SYSTEM THAT’S SET TO BRING US A BIG SOAKER HERE FOR TOMORROW, WHICH IS WHY THE PARADES HERE HAVE BEEN RESCHEDULED. BUT LET’S GET TO THE LATEST SATELLITE AND RADAR OVERLAY, AND YOU CAN SEE PLENTY OF CLOUD COVER MOVING IN FROM THE WEST. YOU CAN SEE THOSE SHOWERS NOT TOO FAR AWAY, ACTUALLY, JUST WEST OF THE BATON ROUGE AREA. NOW WE’VE GOT WIDEN OUT THE PICTURE A LITTLE BIT MORE AND SHOW YOU WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING. IT’S BECAUSE OF THAT AREA OF LOW PRESSURE NOW DEVELOPING IN THE WESTERN GULF. SO WE’RE OUT AHEAD OF IT, WHICH IS WHY WE’RE LOOKING AT THE CLOUDY WEATHER, AND WE’RE GOING TO BE TAPPING INTO THAT SYSTEMS MOISTURE HERE, ESPECIALLY FOR TOMORROW, GIVING US THE RAIN. MEANWHILE THE COLD WEATHER IS STAYING WELL TO OUR NORTH HERE. TEMPERATURES ARE CURRENTLY INTO THE UPPER 50S. WE’VE GOT 57 AT LAKEFRONT, 58 IN BELLE CHASE, ALSO TO THE WEST, AND IT’S 55 IN GALLIANO, GRAND ISLE, ALSO DOWN TOWARDS BURAS. AND YOU CAN SEE WE’RE ABOUT SEVEN TO ABOUT 14 DEGREES WARMER THAN THIS TIME YESTERDAY. SO THERE ARE SOME POSITIVE DIFFERENCES NOW WITH OUR TEMPERATURES STARTING TO WARM UP JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE PARADE FORECAST. WE GOT THEM COMING UP HERE IN COVINGTON HOUMA AND DOWN IN UP TOWARDS UPTOWN HERE AS WELL. TEMPERATURES INTO THE LOWER 50S UNDERNEATH MAINLY MOSTLY CLOUDY WEATHER CONDITIONS COULD TAP INTO A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT. SOME SLIGHT RAIN CHANCES THOUGH. LATER ON TONIGHT. MEANWHILE, OUR LOW TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE UPPER 30S TO THE LOWER 40S FOR THE NORTH SHORE. BUT I’M THINKING, THOUGH, FOR THE SOUTH SHORE, OUR MORNING LOWS TOMORROW MORNING SHOULD FALL INTO THOSE MID TO EVEN UPPER 40S AND LOWER 50S DOWN TOWARDS THE COASTLINE. MEANWHILE, GOING FORWARD THESE WOULD ARE HIGH. TEMPERATURES WILL BE GOING FORWARD INTO THE LOWER 70S AS WE HEAD INTO TUESDAY AND INTO WEDNESDAY HERE TOO, WITH WEDNESDAY PROBABLY BEING THE WARMEST DAY AROUND 73 DEGREES. AND THEN WE’RE DROPPING JUST A LITTLE BIT INTO THE UPPER 60S THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, FOLLOWED BY HIGH TEMPERATURES BACK INTO THE LOWER 70S AS WE HEAD INTO ABOUT A WEEK FROM NOW, SATURDAY NEXT WEEKEND. SO GETTING BACK TO THE BIGGER PICTURE, THAT AREA OF LOW PRESSURE HERE, BACK TO THE WEST. YOU SEE THE RAIN HERE JUST OUT AHEAD OF IT HERE AS WELL. SO WE HERE IN SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA START TO TAP INTO THE RAIN HERE AS WE HEAD TO ABOUT THE 10:00 HOUR TONIGHT, MAYBE SOME BRIEF POCKETS OF SOME HEAVIER SHOWERS OR CERTAINLY NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION HERE EITHER. SO GOING FORWARD, HERE’S 5:00 TOMORROW MORNING. SCATTERED SHOWERS, MAYBE A RUMBLE OF THUNDER OR TWO. CERTAINLY POSSIBLE. NOTICE THAT MUCH OF THE HEAVIER RAIN IS STILL BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST OVER THE NORTHERN GULF. BUT THEN BY 12:00 TOMORROW AFTERNOON, THAT’S WHEN WE START TO SEE MORE WIDESPREAD RAIN. SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS ARE CERTAINLY A POSSIBILITY ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA. EVERYTHING COMES TO A CLOSE AROUND 7:00 DURING THE EVENING, AS ALL THE RAIN HERE HAS MOVED EAST AND WE’RE JUST LEFT OVER WITH MAINLY CLOUDY SKIES, SLIGHT CHANCE OF A SHOWER IN SOME LOCATIONS. THE CLOUDY WEATHER WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A SHOWER STICKS AROUND AS WE HEAD INTO EARLY ON MONDAY MORNING. LOOKS LOOKS TO BE SOME PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. STILL KIND OF LEFTOVER HERE TOO AS WE HEAD TO ABOUT MONDAY AFTERNOON AROUND 2:00 HERE OR SO, AND THEN WE START TO DECREASE THE CLOUDS MORE SO BY 11 P.M. OR SO. MONDAY NIGHT TIME FRAME. WE SHOULD BE MUCH CLEARER THOUGH. I’M WATCHING SOME PATCHY FOG THAT COULD TAKE SHAPE THOUGH. HOWEVER, EARLY IN THE MORNING ON TUESDAY, FOLLOWED BY MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS FOR THE REST OF THE DAY TUESDAY HERE AS WELL. SO AS FAR AS HOW MUCH RAIN WE COULD SEE, ANYWHERE BETWEEN AROUND 1 TO 3IN WITH SOME LOCALLY HIGHER TOTALS ARE CERTAINLY POSSIBLE HERE TOO, BUT I THINK THE HEAVIER RAINS ARE GOING TO BE MAINLY FOCUSED JUST OFF SHORE HERE ACROSS THE CENTRAL NORTHERN GULF. WDSU FIRST WARNING SEVEN DAY FORECAST SHOWING THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT HIGH TEMPERATURES PICKING UP AGAIN TO LOW 60S COME MONDAY. WEATHER IMPACT DAYS GOING UP FOR TUESDAY THROU
