YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING WAVING IN
THE WIND, BUT WE WILL NOT
NECESSARILY SEE SEVERE WEATHER
LIKE IN TEXAS.
MARGARET: NO,
WE ARE NOT
EXPECTING THAT.
WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IS
KIND OF WHAT WE ARE EXPECTING,
VERY WINDY CONDITIONS.
WE HAVE A SQUALL
LINE MOVING OUR
WAY.
I'M NOT EXPECTING SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS WE ARE GOING
TO GET A WIND SHIFT.
WE CAN GET WINDS EVEN HIGHER,
50
MILES PER HOUR, AS THE COLD
FRONT MOVES THROUGH.
WE HAVE THE WIND ADVISORY UNTIL
6:00.
GUSTING TO 40 MILES PER HOUR, IT
WILL MAKE FOR DIFFICULTY
DRIVING.
YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL ON
ELEVATED ROADWAYS.
HERE'S A LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED
TODAY.
GUSTING UP TO 36 OR 37 MILES
POWER. -- PER HOUR.
IT HAS BEEN
THAT WAY ALL
AFTERNOON.
HERE IS THE LEADING EDGE OF THE
COLD FRONT.
WINDS ARE GOING
TO BE SHIFTING
AS THE LINE MOVES THROUGH.
THEY COULD BE 40-50 MILES PER
HOUR, ESPECIALLY ON THE NORTH
SHORE.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE DRIVING,
BE AWARE THAT THAT IS GOING TO
HAPPEN.
THE MARGINAL RISK FOR STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS ARE TO THE WEST.
WE ARE NO LONGER IN IT.
IT IS MAINLY WITH THE LEADING
EDGE OF THOSE STORMS MOVING
THROUGH.
HERE'S A LOOK AT THE BIG
PICTURE.
THERE IS THE COLD FRONT.
WE HAVE STRONG SOUTH WINDS.
ONCE IT MOVES THROUGH, THE WINDS
SHIFTS TO THE WEST.
PLUS, YOU HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN.
WE ARE SEEING BEHIND THE FRONT
AND AGE IN A HALF.
TOWARDS HOUSTON, CLOSE
TO THREE
INCHES OF RAIN.
HERE IS A BIG UPPER-LEVEL LOW.
THAT IS WHERE THERE IS SNOW.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET THAT.
THAT WILL STAY WELL TO THE
NORTH.
LET'S LOOK AT THE FORECAST
MODEL.
THE TIMING MAY BE A LITTLE BIT
SLOW, BUT
8:30 ON THE NORTH
SHORE, VERY CLOSE TO NEW
ORLEANS.
9:30, IT IS MOVING OVER
WASHINGTON AND ST. TAMMANY
PARISH.
AND THEN YOU CAN SEE AT
MIDNIGHT, IT IS APPROACHING
GULFPORT.
AND THEN IT CONTINUES TO THE
EAST.
THE SUN IS GOING TO SHINE
TOMORROW.
WE CAN LOOK AT THE FORECAST, AND
YOU CAN SEE THE STRONG SOUTHERLY
FLOW, AND THE WIND IS SHIFTING
TO THE WEST.
HERE IS A LOOK AT THE POTENTIAL
FOR RAINFALL.
IT IS INDICATING HALF AN INCH TO
MAYBE AN INCH OF RAIN.
THE BIG PICTURE SHOWS THE COLD
FRONT MOVING THROUGH, BUT THE
HIGH TEMPERATURE TOMORROW IS
STILL ABOVE AVERAGE.
IT IS GOING TO BE ABOUT 72.
TUESDAY, A BEAUTIFUL DAY, HIGHS
IN THE LOW 70'S.
RAIN IS GOING TO RETURN AS WE GO
INTO WEDNESDAY.
HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID
70'S.
AND THEN WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER
COLD FRONT.
RAIN AND WIND TONIGHT,
MILD ON
MONDAY, AND TUESDAY.
RAIN RETURNS ON WEDNESDAY.
WE TIED A RECORD HIGH TODAY.
80 DEGREES.
THE AVERAGE IS 65.
ALL ACROSS THE AREA, UPPER 70'S
TO NEAR 80 DEGREES.
LOOK AT THE COOLER AIR ON THE
WAY.
RIGHT NOW, WE ARE STILL IN THE
MID-70'S.
THE WIND IS REALLY BLOWING,
GUSTING TO 33 MILES PER HOUR.
EXPECT RAIN BY 9:00 TONIGHT.
COOLER WEATHER IN THE MORNING,
WITH LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW
TO UPPER 50'S.
AS WE LOOK AT THE
FORECAST,
SUNNY TOMORROW, HIGH
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 70'S.
BEAUTIFUL FOR TUESDAY.
RAIN CHANCES GO UP ON WEDNESDAY.
THURSDAY, LINGERING SHOWERS.
FRIDAY, SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY
LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
