Rain chances continue to stay low

Reduced visibility possible Tuesday morning The National Weather Center is leading up to a significant change in our weather outlook this week, focusing on the potential of a potential low-key weather event. The Bureau of Meteorology is monitoring a large cloud of smoke that has been affecting the atmosphere across the city for two days. This is due to a decrease in visibility due to the smoke, which has been causing visibility to become extremely low. The current conditions at the airport at LOUIS ARMSTRONG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT are expected to improve, with temperatures increasing rapidly. The HURRICANE CENTER is watching an 80% chance of developing a similar event, but it is not expected to reach any significant impact on the Louisiana coastline. There are still rain chances for the next few days, but rain is expected to remain low.

THIS WEEK, 1246 LET’S TALK ABOUT WHETHER WE’RE FOLLOWING A LOT. JIM IS IN THE WEATHER CENTER. WE’RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT WRECK. BUT I SEE YOU HAVE SMOKE BEHIND YOU THAT WE’VE BEEN TRACKING FOR TWO DAYS NOW THAT HAS KIND OF FILLED THE AIR ACROSS THE CITY. YEAH, THE SMOKE IS THE THING THAT, AGAIN, IS THE X FACTOR TO THE EQUATION. WE CAN PREDICT FOG, WE CAN PREDICT THE WEATHER. BUT WITH THE SMOKE IN THE ATMOSPHERE, I THINK THAT’S THE REASON WHY VISIBILITY WAS EXTRA LOW IN MANY PLACES THIS MORNING. YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT THERE IN OUR LIVE CAMERA. LET’S LOOK AT OUR CURRENT CONDITIONS AT THE AIRPORT AT LOUIS ARMSTRONG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. VISIBILITY THERE STILL AT A MILE. THE DEW POINT AT 70, BUT THE TEMPERATURE NOW UP TO 80. OBVIOUSLY, THINGS WARMING UP VERY QUICKLY AFTER THAT. VERY MOIST MORNING. OUR WINDS ARE INCREASING, TOO, AND THAT’S GOING TO BE A FACTOR FOR US OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. HERE’S THE LATEST VISIBILITY REPORTS. ANYWHERE FROM 7 TO 10 MILES IN MOST LOCATIONS. BUT AGAIN, AS YOU GO OUTSIDE AND YOU LOOK UP IN SOME SPOTS, STILL GOING TO LOOK HAZY, MOST LIKELY BECAUSE OF THAT SMOKE. HERE’S THE MOST RECENT SATELLITE VIEW. OUR CURRENT SURFACE MAP SHOWS US SOMETHING THAT’S GOING TO CHANGE OUR WEATHER OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. AND I THINK IT’S GOING TO BE A GOOD CHANGE AS FAR AS FOGGY MORNINGS GO. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN IN THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE UNITED STATES AROUND THAT HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM. YOU GET THE CLOCKWISE ROTATION. SO WE’RE GOING TO GET A NICE EASTERLY BREEZE STARTING TO DEVELOP. MAYBE EVEN LATE THIS AFTERNOON. IT’LL BE A FACTOR FOR US TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. EVEN TOMORROW MORNING, WE EXPECT TO HAVE AN EASTERLY WIND AT ABOUT FIVE MILES PER HOUR. THAT SHOULD IMPEDE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A REALLY THICK FOG. LET’S GO TO THE TROPICS. HERE’S AN AREA OF CLOUDINESS THAT THE HURRICANE CENTER IS WATCHING CLOSELY. 80% CHANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT WITH THIS, BUT IT’S MOVING TOWARDS CENTRAL AMERICA, NOT GETTING ANYWHERE CLOSE TO US. HERE’S TAMMY. STILL A HURRICANE GOING TO BE A HURRICANE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, AS YOU ALREADY KNOW, TAMMY, IS NOTHING THAT SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA NEEDS TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT. NOW, LET’S TALK ABOUT THE FOGGY MORNINGS, BECAUSE I STILL THINK IT’S GOING TO BE A LITTLE FOGGY TOMORROW. BUT AGAIN, YOU’LL NOTICE THE BREEZE AS WE LOOK TOWARD THE NEXT 48 HOURS OR SO. THIS AFTERNOON. HIGH TEMPERATURE IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S, VERY PLEASANT AND A LOT OF LOCATIONS, EVEN THOUGH IT’S A LITTLE MORE HUMID. YOUR FORECAST FOR TOMORROW MORNING. AND AGAIN, THESE COMPUTER MODELS DON’T ALWAYS PICK UP ON THE FOG AS MUCH AS WE MIGHT LIKE. THERE COULD BE A LITTLE BIT OF FOG, BUT THERE YOU SEE THE ARROWS. THAT’S THE EASTERLY WIND AT ABOUT FIVE MILES PER HOUR. SO RATHER THAN A LIGHT WIND ALLOWING THAT FOG TO SETTLE DOWN ON TOP OF US, NOT JUST FOG, BUT SMOKE, TOMORROW WE’LL HAVE THAT EASTERLY WIND AND NOT OVERLY STRONG, BUT STILL FIVE MILES PER HOUR. THAT’S GOING TO BE A GOOD THING FOR YOU FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. HERE’S YOUR FORECAST FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON. HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE IN THE MID 80S, SHOULD BE A MOSTLY SUNNY DAY AND THAT BREEZE WILL BE A FACTOR, ESPECIALLY IN THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON. GOING TO FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE, NOT ONLY BREEZY TUESDAY, BUT WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS WELL. ALL RIGHT. LET ME LOOK AT THE EXTENDED, EXTENDED, EXTENDED FORECAST FOR YOU, BECAUSE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A COOL FRONT, MAYBE LATE IN THE WEEK, BRINGING US A CHANCE FOR RAIN HERE WE ARE THURSDAY, GOING THROUGH THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. THAT FRONT LOOKS LIKE IT’S GOING TO WASH OUT BEFORE IT GETS TO US. HOWEVER. LET’S GO THROUGH YOUR WEEKEND SAINTS PLAYING AT THE SUPERDOME ON SUNDAY WEEKEND. LOOKS MAINLY DRY, VERY, VERY PLEASANT. MAYBE A LITTLE MORE HUMID ON SUNDAY AS THE WINDS START TO BECOME A LITTLE MORE SOUTHEASTERLY. BUT LET’S GO AHEAD AND LOOK TOWARD THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. HEY, HERE WE ARE. COOL FRONT. LOOKS LIKE IT MAY BE GETTING CLOSER AND BRING US A REAL GOOD CHANCE FOR RAIN. THAT’S A GOOD THING, RIGHT? MAYBE NOT. LOOK AT THIS, TUESDAY AT 5 A.M. THERE’S A CHANCE WE MIGHT HAVE SOME RAIN IN THE FORECAST FOR HALLOWEEN EVENING FOR THE TRICK OR TREATERS. STILL VERY FAR OFF, STILL YET TO BE DETERMINED, BUT WE’LL BE TRACKING THAT FRONT, HOPEFULLY, BATMAN DOESN’T HAVE TO BE CARRYING AN UMBRELLA AS HE’S TRICK OR TREATING ON TUESDAY. ALL RIGHT. HERE’S YOUR FORECAST FOR THIS AFTERNOON. VERY, VERY PLEASANT, MOSTLY SUNNY, LITTLE HUMID, VERY NICE. HIGH TEMPERATURE IN THE MID 80S. THE BREEZE STILL A FACTOR FOR US TONIGHT. YOU SEE THAT WIND FROM THE EAST AT ABOUT FIVE MILES PER HOUR. WE WILL HAVE SOME FOG. WE DO NOT EXPECT IT TO BE AS AS FOGGY AS IT WAS. THIS MORNING. AND THEN TOMORROW AFTERNOON, ONCE WE GET RID OF THE FOG, VERY COMFORTABLE, PARTLY CLOUDY, A LITTLE BIT BREEZY WITH THAT SOUTHEASTERLY WIND AT 10 TO 15MPH, NOT ONLY TOMORROW, BUT PROBABLY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS WELL. THAT FRONT WASHES OUT AND IT MAY BRING US SOME SLIGHTLY SLIGHT, DRIER AIR SATURDAY. BUT IT’S NOT GOING TO BE A MAJOR CHANGE

Fog and smoke still a concern in the mornings After a very nice Monday afternoon, our concern overnight will be the possibility of fog and reduced visibility by smoke again Tuesday morning. High pressure to the east is building in, and that will make the wind a little stronger over the next few days, with a 5 mph wind from the east likely Tuesday morning, and that may impeded the development of a thick fog. However, smoke from wildfires will still be a concern and will bear monitoring over the next few mornings.Our chances for much needed rain still look low through the weekend, as a cool front will wash out to the north of us late in the week.The next chance for any rain will come next week, and it's possible that some of nthat rain may occur Halloween night for Trick or Treaters. In the Tropics, The National Hurricane Center is watching an area of cloudiness moving into Central America for possible development over the next few days, and Hurricane Tammy is in The Atlantic, but neither should affect SE Louisiana.
