New Orleans Fire rescues two residents during Garden District apartment fire
FOR MORE TICKETS. AND NOW, TURNING THINGS OVER TO WHETHER IT IS A COLD START TO YOUR SUNDAY MORNING AND WE COULD SEE SOME RAIN IN THE FORECAST THIS WEEKEND, RIGHT? WELL, WE’RE LOOKING AHEAD TOWARD NEXT WEEKEND. POSSIBILITY FOR A COUPLE OF SHOWERS. BUT YOU’RE RIGHT ABOUT THE COLD STUFF RIGHT NOW. IT’S GOING TO GET WARMER, THOUGH. EVENTUALLY. YES, IT’S GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE WHILE. TOMORROW MORNING IS GOING TO BE COLD. TUESDAY MORNING IS GOING TO BE COLD. FINALLY, BY MIDWEEK, OUR TEMPERATURES GETTING BACK TO WHERE THEY SHOULD BE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. SKIES ARE CLEAR AND THAT’S THE WAY THEY’RE GOING TO STAY OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. BUT CLEAR SKIES. ADDING TO THE FACT THAT IT’S COLD THIS MORNING, CLOUD COVER SOMETIMES KEEPS YOU WARMER IN THE MORNING. THAT’S NOT WHAT WE HAVE IN PLACE RIGHT NOW. 30 IN BOGALUSA 31, THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE IN HAMMOND, WE’RE AT 31 IN SLIDELL. YES. THESE ARE THE ACTUAL TEMPERATURES AT 816 THIS MORNING. BUT YOU HAVE TO FACTOR IN A NORTHERLY WIND SIX, EIGHT, 12MPH. I THINK WE HAVE A BREEZE ON THE NORTH SHORE. I THINK WE HAVE A COUPLE OF BAD SENSORS UP THERE, BUT ACROSS THE BOARD IT FEELS A LITTLE BIT COOLER BECAUSE OF THAT NORTHERLY WIND. FEELS LIKE IT’S 26 RIGHT NOW IN BATON ROUGE. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE PLENTY OF SUNSHINE ALL DAY TODAY, WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES ONLY GOING TO GET UP CLOSE TO 50 DEGREES. BUT AS YOU LOOK AT THE SATELLITE AND RADAR COMPOSITE, I THINK YOUR EYES ARE DRAWN TO THAT SNOW. YEAH, WE MISSED IT BY ABOUT 75 MILES OR SO, BUT SNOW MAKING ITS WAY TOWARD THE ATLANTA AREA, WE PICKED UP ON A FEW SHOWERS HERE CLOSE TO THE COAST OVERNIGHT. NOTHING MAJOR, BUT SOME SNOW FLURRIES RIGHT NOW IN THE PANHANDLE. HERE’S HIGH PRESSURE CONTROLLING OUR WEATHER OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, BRINGING US THAT NORTHERLY WIND. EXTREMELY DRY AIR IN PLACE FOR US. SO WE’LL HAVE SUNSHINE TODAY AND THE RACING AT THE FAIRGROUNDS AT EIGHT. RACE CARD TRACK WILL BE FASTER. IT WILL BE FIRM, BUT NOTICE THE TEMPERATURES REALLY NOT GETTING OUT OF THE UPPER 40S. AND THEN TOMORROW MORNING WE’RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT COLDER THAN THIS MORNING. WE’RE CALLING FOR TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER 20S ON THE NORTH SHORE. EVEN IN THE METRO IT MAY BE CLOSE TO FREEZING. NOW IF IT DOES GET CLOSE TO FREEZING IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, I THINK IT WOULD ONLY BE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, MAYBE AN HOUR AND A HALF. BUT THE NORTH SHORE, QUITE OBVIOUSLY THE COLDEST SPOT FIRST THING TOMORROW IN THE AFTERNOON. WE’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO A WARMING TREND MONDAY. GETTING INTO THE UPPER 50S. BUT LOOK WHAT HAPPENS. WE HAVE ONE MORE COLD MORNING FOR YOU ON TUESDAY. AND HERE IT COMES. ANOTHER COLD FRONT THAT’S GOING TO BUMP OUR HIGH TEMPERATURES DOWN BY A FEW DEGREES ON TUESDAY. SO THE WARMING TREND GETS A BIT DERAILED FOR YOU. THEN BY MIDWEEK, THAT’S WHEN WE START TO GET AT LEAST CLOSE TO NORMAL. AS FAR AS AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES GO 50 DEGREES THE HIGH TEMPERATURE TODAY, BUT WITH A BIT OF A BREEZE, REALLY FEELING LIKE IT’S IN THE 40S. EVEN WITH ALL THE SUNSHINE TODAY, TONIGHT, CLEAR SKIES, VERY COLD WINDS WILL BE LIGHT IN THE 20S ON THE NORTH SHORE. LOW TO MID 30S IN THE METRO FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING AND THEN TOMORROW AFTERNOON. YES, WE GET TO THE UPPER 50S, BUT I SHOWED YOU THAT COLD FRONT. SO YOUR HIGH TEMPERATURE AS WE LOOK AHEAD TOWARD TUESDAY IS ONLY GOING TO BE IN THE MID 50S. BY WEDNESDAY WE’RE BACK INTO THE 60S. WE DO HAVE A CHANCE FOR A COUPLE OF SHOWERS ON THURSDAY. ORIGINALLY I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO GET SOME GOOD MEASURABLE RAIN. NOW I THINK THOSE SHOWERS ARE GOING TO BE A LITTLE MORE SPOTTY ON THURSDAY, BUT GETTING BACK TO NORMAL BY MIDWEEK AND THEN WE’RE AT 69 ON FRIDAY, 74 ON SATURDAY, BUT THEN SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY, HERE COMES ANOTHER COLD FRONT. AND I THINK THAT’S GOING TO BUMP YOUR TEMPERATURES DOWN FOR SUNDAY. AND I THINK THE BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN IS ACTUALLY COMING SATURDAY NIGHT TO VERY EARLY SUNDAY, WHEN A CHANCE FOR RAIN MAY GO UP TO ABOUT 50 TO 60%. SO THAT’S REALLY OUR NEXT CHANCE FOR MEASURABLE RAINFALL, WHICH WE ALW
