Meteorologist Ashley Renee has your 6:50 am forecast. Good morning and happy Thursday. It’s a new day and we’ll be dealing with the same story....hot and mostly dry weather. Almost word for word there is still no change in the forecast. Yesterday was a beautiful day and we’ll have nice weather once again for today. Skies were mostly clear yesterday and we’ll see that again today. Today’s highs will be in the upper 90s. Heat index values will be near 110. A heat advisory will be in effect from 10 am until 7 pm. If you’ll be outside for an extended period of time, remember to stay hydrated and wear sunscreen. If you have an outdoors job, don’t overexert yourself while working. Take frequent breaks in the shade or AC so you don’t overheat. Also, double check your cars before getting out. Do not leave kids or pets in a hot car! Just like yesterday, we’ll have mostly dry weather. Isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible in the afternoon and evening, but the coastal parishes have a better chance of receiving rain. We won’t have much rain (if any at all) to provide quick relief from the heat. Warm and muggy conditions will continue tonight and during the overnight hours. Overnight lows will be near 80 degrees. Another heat advisory might be issued for Friday. Thankfully, a weak cold front is on the way this weekend. Thursday will be the same. As the kids are still heading back to school today and maybe tomorrow too depending on the school/district, make sure you pack enough water for them and pack sunscreen too. They can also have a nice after-school treat like a milkshake or snoball to help them cool off. Similar conditions will continue for Friday and this weekend. Hot, mostly dry with only slim chances of rain each day. There will be one slight difference though this weekend. A weak cold front will attempt to move through our area. As it does this, drier air will flow in. We’ve already had drier air flowing in on the backside of the circulation of Debby, but this will be an additional round. We’ll still have hot weather, but we can look forward to lower dew points and lower humidity. This will be short-lived as it looks like the front will retreat and move back north early next week. Tracking the tropics: There is another disturbance that we’re watching. An area of low pressure could form in the central or western tropical Atlantic Ocean early next week. This disturbance could have some further development as it moves towards the Lesser Antilles and the Greater Antilles next week. It will continue moving west-northwestward. As of now, it has zero chances of development within the next two days and a 20% chance of development within the next seven days. Just to recap, the main topic for the next few days is the heat. Stay cool and hydrated as best as you can. Don’t forget to bring your pets inside and give them fresh water so they can stay cool too. Thanks for watching. Have a triumphant Thursday!
