looking to the west, we have dark skies. Let me show you what it looks like in
our storm tracker. So we've got *** thunderstorm over the Bonnie carrie
spillway near Norco also laplace. But wait, I want to show you this some
pretty heavy rain. If you've got to be driving to the west, Donaldson ville
White Castle and then south of baton rouge. So be aware of that. Meanwhile,
we're looking at the tropics. I know it's that time of the year. So what
we're expecting is an active hurricane season. Noah National Oceanic and
Atmospheric administration says 14 to 21 named storms 6 to 10 of those become
hurricanes, 3-6 become major and dr Phil Klotzbach is going to be updating
his forecast tomorrow. First name up is Alex and it's possible it could develop
by this weekend though. I do think *** depression is likely. So this is the
time to get ready because if you wait until *** hurricane is approaching, you
really don't have time. You need to get your disaster supply kit ready. Check
out your insurance. You know, flood insurance has *** 30 day wait. So you
want that before hurricane comes, check your home trim your trees, Get ready
Now the good news is this system that has *** high chance for tropical
development is not going to impact us. It's going to stay to the south.
Another one northeast of the Bahamas also has *** low chance for tropical
development, but it's going to be moving away. So no impact to us here is
*** look and you'll notice the center actually right along the coast of the
yucatan peninsula, but the heavier rain is off to the east and that's because
we've got some really strong winds aloft there. You can see where the
center of circulation is. And oh, by the way, the remnants of agatha and the
southwest gulf. So we've got an upper level low off the east coast that's
helping with the north wind, upper level high off to the west, that's
building eastward. That too, is helping with the north wind very dry air over
the north gulf. We'd like dry air and then look at these strong winds. There
are 40, mph that is not conducive for development. So anything that gets
going is not looking like it's going to be really organized. But we do have
warm water. That's one of the factors we look at for development. And we also
have that deep, deep heat, ocean content and what that means is *** lot
of fuel for development. So we look at the global forecast model as we go into
thursday night, there's that low right there at the yucatan channel, it then
begins to move to the northeast heading towards florida possibly is ***
depression and then sunday it's off in the atlantic, the european model
similar, but maybe *** little bit more to the north, more of *** rainmaker
broad load. This is friday afternoon, there goes the rain moving into south
florida and then it's moving offshore as you go into late saturday and sunday.
Meanwhile, we've got *** front to the northwest. It's going to be getting
close thursday night, friday with *** higher rain chance. Then not much rain
on the south shore. But there is that storm right there at the Bonnie carrie,
widely scattered on the north shore than this heavier rain kind of near
Gonzales. We've had 1/100 of an inch of rain at the airport into the evening.
The rain dissipates. Then you go into the morning some patchy fog lows, low
to the mid seventies, highs climbing into the low nineties with scattered
rain and storms. So your forecast the low nineties tomorrow. Then thursday
night *** higher rain chance friday near 90. And then saturday into next
week. It's gonna be hot high temperatures, mainly low nineties
