IMPRISONMENT. AND NOW IT’S TIME FOR ANOTHER CHECK ON OUR FIRST WARNING WEATHER. AND, JIM, YOU SAID YOU WERE TRACKING SOME RAIN THAT WAS IN THE AREA. YES, I DO HAVE A SHOWER THAT WE’RE TRACKING RIGHT NOW IS IT’S GOING TO BE ANOTHER HOT AFTERNOON. AND, YOU KNOW, IF IT’S GOING TO BE TOO HOT FOR YOU TODAY, YOU MIGHT WANT TO GO AHEAD AND CHECK OUT THE NEW ORLEANS JAZZ CLUB MONTHLY JAM SESSION AT MO’S CHALET, STARTING AT 2:00 TODAY. YOU CAN GET INSIDE THE AIR CONDITIONING. HERE’S THAT LITTLE SHOWER THAT I’M TRACKING, AND I CALL IT A LITTLE SHOWER NOW BECAUSE LOOK WHAT’S HAPPENED. THIS IS WHAT I TOLD YOU WOULD HAPPEN OR I THOUGHT WOULD HAPPEN ABOUT 20 MINUTES AGO OR SO. IT’S REALLY KIND OF FALLING APART. ONE LIGHTNING STRIKE HERE IN THE LAST TEN MINUTES. BUT A FEW OF THESE. WELL, I DON’T WANT TO CALL THEM SPRINKLES BECAUSE THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF SOME HEAVIER RAIN THERE, BUT IT’S COLLAPSING RIGHT NOW. STILL. NEW ORLEANS KENNER METAIRIE GENTILLY MIGHT HAVE SOME PASSING SHOWERS HERE AFTER ABOUT 10:00 THIS MORNING. MOST OF THE RAIN TODAY THOUGH, HOLDING OFF THE AFTERNOON. THOSE SHOWERS WILL BE TRIGGERED, MOST LIKELY BY A LAKE BREEZE AFTER ABOUT TWO 3:00 OR SO. 83 THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE IN HAMMOND. WE’RE 82 IN GULFPORT, ALREADY 86 AT THE LAKE, 84 GRAND ISLE. IT’S 944 IN THE MORNING AND WE’RE IN THE MID 80S, 85. OUR CURRENT TEMPERATURE OFFICIALLY AT LOUIS ARMSTRONG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. AS YOU DEW POINT WAY UP THERE AT 78. WHEN YOU STEP OUTSIDE FEELS VERY HUMID SOUTHERLY WIND AT ABOUT EIGHT MILES PER HOUR. THAT ALL FIGURES WHEN YOUR WIND IS FROM THE SOUTH, IT USUALLY MEANS YOUR DEW POINT. AT LEAST THIS TIME OF YEAR IS GOING TO BE ON THE HIGH SIDE. 78 IS REALLY MORE OF A SUMMERTIME DEW POINT FOR US. WE HAVE A FRONT TO THE NORTH OF US, A STATIONARY FRONT. THIS IS WHERE MORE ACTIVE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY GOING TO BE LOCATED HERE, AS WE LOOK TOWARD LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON, BUT TODAY, OBVIOUSLY THERE’S A LOT OF MOISTURE CLOSE TO THE SURFACE. ONCE WE GET TO ABOUT 130 2:00, YOU SEE IT RIGHT THERE, POSSIBLY A LAKE BREEZE ADDING TO THESE SHOWERS. GET A LITTLE BIT OF A COLLISION HERE WITH THAT WIND COMING OFF THE LAKE. SOUTHERLY WINDS. SO SOME SHOWERS POPPING UP ONCE WE GET TO ABOUT 2:00, 230, 3:00. SMALL POSSIBILITY, VERY SMALL POSSIBILITY. ONE OF THOSE STORMS COULD BE ON THE STRONG SIDE TODAY, BUT WITH THE CHANCE FOR RAIN AT 20%, MEANS 80% OF US ARE GOING TO BE MAINLY DRY BY ABOUT 630 7:00. MOST OF THE RAIN SHOULD BE WRAPPING UP FOR US. THEN TOMORROW MORNING WE’LL START MUGGY AGAIN. WE MAY BE 1 OR 2 DEGREES COOLER IN A COUPLE OF SPOTS, WITH THE WIND BECOMING MORE SOUTHERLY TOMORROW. SOUTHERLY RIGHT NOW. IT’LL BE A STRONGER WIND TOMORROW. THE LAKE BREEZE MAY BE HELD OFF UNTIL THE LATE AFTERNOON. THIS MODEL REALLY NOT PICKING UP ON MUCH RAIN WHATSOEVER. I STILL THINK WE’RE GOING TO GET SOME RAIN, SOME SHOWERS POPPING UP IN THE AFTERNOON, BUT THEY MAY NOT DEVELOP UNTIL THE LATER AFTERNOON. TOMORROW ON THE HOLIDAY. HERE’S YOUR CHANGE COMING FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. OUR CHANCE FOR RAIN IS GOING TO BE GOING UP STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS THAT ARE GOING TO BE DEVELOPING IN TEXAS. WELL, WE COULD GET AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. MAYBE THE REMNANTS OF SOME OF THOSE THUNDERSTORMS MOVING IN ON TUESDAY WITH A CHANCE FOR RAIN GOES UP TO ABOUT 40%. 40% CHANCE FOR SHOWERS IN OUR FORECAST. AGAIN, AS WE LOOK TOWARD WEDNESDAY. AND THEN WE’RE TRACKING A COLD FRONT, ONE OF THE WELL, NOT EVEN ONE OF THE COMPUTER MODELS. SOME OF THE DATA IS HINTING THAT THE HUMIDITY COULD BE A LITTLE BIT LOWER BY THE END OF THE WEEK. IT WOULD BE A SUBTLE CHANGE AT VERY BEST. MOSTLY SUNNY, ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY. ONCE WE GET PAST ABOUT 130 2:00. SHOWERS ENDING TONIGHT, THEN IT’S GOING TO BE WARM AND MUGGY AS WE START IN THE 70S AGAIN TOMORROW AFTERNOON. CHANCE FOR RAIN ONE MORE TIME AT ABOUT 20%. THE THUNDERSTORMS ARE GOING TO BE ISOLATED, BUT THEY SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL THE LATER AFTERNOON AND IT WILL BE A BIT BREEZY. WINDS FROM THE SOUTH AT ABOUT 6 TO 12MPH. CHANCE FOR RAIN GOES UP TO 40% FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, AND STAYS AT 40% ON THURSDAY. WE SHOULD BE MAYBE A DEGREE OR TWO COOLER ONCE WE GET TO FRIDAY.
