NOW, THE WGN SIOUX FIRST WARNING WEATHER FORECAST, WHERE WE’RE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER POTENTIAL FOR MORE SEVERE WEATHER. TOMORROW, WE’RE GOING TO SHOW DOPPLER RADAR IN A MINUTE WHERE THOSE STORMS ARE, BUT STILL WANT TO RECAP WHAT HAPPENED TODAY? THESE STORMS THAT STARTED IN OKLAHOMA YESTERDAY BLEW THROUGH TODAY, AND THEY BROUGHT IN QUITE THE SEVERE WEATHER. NORTH SHORE TAKING THE WORST OF IT A MID COURSE. EVEN KENTWOOD ACROSS THE BORDER AS WELL. A NUMBER OF TORNADO WARNINGS, EVEN ANOTHER ONE IN PICAYUNE. THAT SAME STORM BROUGHT NUMEROUS TORNADO WARNINGS ACROSS THE NORTH SHORE. WE DIDN’T HARDLY GET ANYTHING ACROSS THE COAST. CLASSIC SIGNATURE OF A WRAP UP AND THE POTENTIAL OF A TORNADO, AND EVEN DETECTED WINDS NEARLY 80MPH RIGHT THERE IN A MEET THAT WAS ONLY A FEW HUNDRED FEET OFF THE GROUND. WITH THE RADAR THAT IS NOW CLOSER TO THAT LOCATION. BUT WE LOOK AT STORMS THAT ARE IN OKLAHOMA RIGHT NOW. THEY COULD BE HERE TOMORROW, BUT I ALSO WANT TO SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENED WITH OSAKA AND TANGIPAHOA KENTWOOD STRONG WINDS HERE THAT WERE DETECTED 58 56MPH AS WELL. SO THERE WERE SOME SERIOUS STORMS, BUT REALLY KEEP AN EYE OUT ON WHAT’S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN SOUTHEAST KANSAS. IN OKLAHOMA, WE HAD AN INCH OF RAIN IN TANGIPAHOA AS WELL IN COVINGTON, NEARLY TWO THIRDS OF AN INCH. WE ONLY GOT A 10TH OF AN INCH OFFICIALLY HERE. STRONG WINDS OFF THE LAKE, WHICH IS WHY WE HAD SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS. LAKEFRONT RECORDED THE WIND AT 61MPH. NOW THAT ALL CAME WITH THE FUEL. WITH THE HEAT TODAY, TEMPERATURE 92 AT LAKEFRONT 90. OFFICIALLY HERE IN NEW ORLEANS. REAL TIME TEMPERATURES. NOW WE’VE WORKED OVER THE ATMOSPHERE, 60S AND 70S. IT’S STILL PRETTY HUMID FOR TWO POINTS INTO THE 60S AS OPPOSED TO MID 70S. WE CAN FEEL THAT IS DOWN A BIT, BUT MORE SET TO COME AS I JUST SHOWED INTO KANSAS. OKLAHOMA RIGHT HERE. SO THOSE SYSTEMS COULD BE RACING OUR WAY TOMORROW WHERE WE’VE GOT THOSE SYSTEMS THAT HAVE JUST STARTED TO FORM. THIS FORECAST HASN’T DONE SO WELL. IT DID THE SAME THING YESTERDAY WHERE IT FADED THOSE STORMS OUT BEFORE THEY ARRIVED. I’M GOING TO SHOW YOU A BETTER FORECAST IN A SECOND. BUT THEN AS WE GET INTO THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, THIS FRONT’S GOING TO START TO EASE IN, NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO BRING IN COOLER AIR, BUT DOES ENHANCE THE RAIN CHANCES ALONG THAT FRONT. THERE’S A CHANCE THAT WE MIGHT WORK IN A LITTLE DRIER AIR, BUT WE’RE GOING TO BREAK DOWN THE HUMIDITY JUST A BIT AS WELL. THAT SYSTEM MOVING AWAY. AND LOOK AT THIS PARTICULAR FORECAST LINES UP ALMOST EXACTLY WHERE THE STORMS ARE IN SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA. LET’S SEE IT FROM TONIGHT AT 10:00, WHERE THAT STORM FORECAST HAS THESE COMING BY 1:00. GETTING CLOSE TO THE NORTH SHORE YET AGAIN, 2 TO 3:00, POSSIBLY ALMOST JUST THE EXACT SAME TRACK IN MOVING THROUGH 4:00, 5:00, DONE BY SIX. SAME THREATS WILL BE COMING OUR WAY. THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG WIND GUSTS, LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN, BUT OFFICIALLY NO OUTLOOKS THAT ARE UP FOR THOSE. RIGHT NOW WE KNOW IT’S GOING TO BE JUST AS HOT AND HUMID WITH TEMPERATURES TO 93 LAKEFRONT 92 HERE, AND THE HUMIDITY IS GOING TO BE HIGH. ALONG WITH THAT TOO. WE WORK INTO THURSDAY, OVERNIGHT, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AS THIS FRONT STARTS TO EASE IN, WE’RE GOING TO FIND SOME SCATTERED STORMS AND THESE ARE GOING TO BE LIKELIER RAIN CHANCES. AND WE LOOK AT SOME OTHER COURSE FORECAST DATA ALONG WITH THAT. AND IT ALSO SHOWS THAT WE’VE GOT A LIKELIER CHANCE OF SCATTERED STORMS BY THAT TIME. SO WE’RE GOING TO BUMP UP THE RAIN CHANCES BUT BUMP UP THE HEAT AS WELL 9394 HERE IN NEW ORLEANS, EVEN LAKEFRONT AND EVEN AS THAT FRONT FADES INTO FRIDAY, THE RAIN CHANCES START TO GO DOWN. BUT THAT COULD BE OUR HOTTEST DAY. RAIN CHANCES DOWN FOR THE WEEKEND. BUT ANOTHER FRONT MAYBE TO MONDAY TO TUESDAY. THAT COULD BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF SOME STORMS. I THINK IT’S A BIT OPTIMISTIC HAVING THAT FRONT GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH AT THAT TIME. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF TROPICAL WAVES STILL INTO THE ATLANTIC, BUT WE’VE WORKED IN DRIER AIR THAT DRIER AIR, ALONG WITH SOME WIND SHEAR, IS KEEPING THINGS FROM FORMING SO NO TROPICAL FORMATION. OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS, WDSU FIRST WARNING WEATHER SEVEN DAY FORECAST. VERY HOT THE NEXT FEW DAYS WITH SCATTERED STORMS LIKELY WITH THE SYSTEMS COMING THROUGH THAT ARE OVER. OKLAHOMA, KANSAS NOW THE FRONT THURSDAY FRIDAY, BUT A LITTLE DRIER AI

Another wave of storms is possible Wednesday before a front enhances rain chances on Thursday in your New Orleans weather forecast.Warm and humid with morning temps in the 70s.Another complex of storms is possible Wednesday, but forecast data show the Northshore is likelier to find this round too.Highs will be in the lower 90s.As a weak front eases into the region, even more scattered storms are likelier. This front is expected to squeeze out even more heat ahead of it too. However, our high resolution data don’t show much storm activity right now.Other, coarser forecast data show a much higher potential for storms. Highs could be pushing the mid 90s.As the front fades out across the region, storms are still possible through Friday.Storm chances decrease over the weekend.Our next front moves in by the middle of next week and will bring another round of scattered storms.As for a quick check on the tropics, several tropical waves are still moving through the Atlantic, but dry air and wind shear are inhibiting any possible formation.Here’s your seven day forecast:Be safe, and have a good night!- Devon
