Today & Tonight: We are starting off the morning mainly clear across southeast Louisiana. As usual, we will start to see those puffy cumulus clouds in the afternoon, creating a mix of sun and clouds. Highs will get to near 98 degrees, with humidity causing the temperature to feel like 112 degrees. The chance of pop up storms will remain. Coverage will be similar to yesterday, so about 30% of the viewing area will pick up measurable rainfall. It will be another sticky night, with lows near 79 degrees under mainly clear skies.
Up Next: Through Wednesday of next week, a ridge of high pressure will keep rain coverage spotty to isolated, and temperatures high. Highs each day will be in the mid to upper 90’s, with lows in the upper 70’s. The pattern will start to shift on Thursday, and lasting into the weekend. Lift and moisture will increase, leading to a higher chance of thunderstorms, highs in the low to mid 90's, and more cloud cover.
The Tropics: The North Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico are quiet. No development is expected over the next seven days.
