SPORTS. WE’LL SEE YOU RIGHT BACK HERE LATER ON TODAY. ALL RIGHT. AND NOW IT’S TIME FOR ANOTHER CHECK ON OUR FIRST WARNING WEATHER. JIM SAYS HE’S MONITORING SOME THINGS IN THE TROPICS THAT COULD BE HEADED OUR WAY IN THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. SOMETHING IN THE GULF POSSIBLE. BY WEDNESDAY, WE’LL SHOW IT TO YOU HERE. COMING UP IN JUST A MINUTE. BUT LOOK AT THAT GREAT CAMERA. THE SAINTS SUPERDOME BEHIND US. THAT’S A CAMERA AT THE HYATT REGENCY. GIVES US A GOOD LOOK AT SKIES THAT ARE CLEAR RIGHT NOW. BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE HAPPENING. AND OFFICIALLY JUST ABOUT THREE MINUTES IN THE NEW ORLEANS AREA. AND OUR TEMPERATURES, WELL, THEY’RE PRETTY COMFORTABLE JUST ABOUT WHERE THEY WERE YESTERDAY MORNING IS OUR FORECAST AND OUR WEATHER PATTERN HAS CHANGED VERY, VERY LITTLE SINCE FRIDAY 69 IN BOGALUSA, 69 IN HAMMOND, 76. OUR CURRENT TEMPERATURE ON BEAUTIFUL GRAND ISLE, MOST RECENT SATELLITE VIEW SHOWS AGAIN THAT VERY LITTLE HAS CHANGED AS A MATTER OF FACT, I THINK WE’RE GOING TO BE MAINLY DRY ALL THE WAY THROUGH TUESDAY. LET’S GET TO THE TROPICS BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT WE’RE WATCHING. THE CARIBBEAN HURRICANE CENTER STILL BELIEVES THAT THERE’S A 70% CHANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT WITH THIS AREA OF CLOUDINESS, AND BOY, IT LOOKS SO DISORGANIZED. AND THE REASON THAT WE’RE KIND OF SCRATCHING OUR HEADS ABOUT WHAT EXACTLY THE SYSTEM IS GOING TO DO BECAUSE IT IS SO DISORGANIZED, WHEN YOU HAVE A SYSTEM THAT’S BETTER ORGANIZED, YOU GET AN IDEA OF WHAT IT MIGHT INTERACT WITH. WELL, RIGHT NOW, WHERE’S THE CENTER OF IT? NO ONE HAS ANY IDEA. HOWEVER, HURRICANE CENTER SAYS IN THE SHORT TERM NO CHANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS. HOWEVER, ONCE WE GET TO, I THINK, WEDNESDAY IN THIS AREA OF CLOUDINESS DRIFTS TOWARD THE GULF OF MEXICO. THAT’S WHEN WE HAVE A 70% CHANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT. HOW STRONG IS IT GOING TO BE? WHAT IS IT EXACTLY? WHAT EXACTLY IS IT GOING TO BE? STILL YET TO BE DETERMINED? NOW I’M GOING TO SHOW YOU A COUPLE OF THE COMPUTER MODELS. IT’S GOING TO PAUSE THINGS HERE. ONCE WE GET TO WEDNESDAY FIRST THING IN THE MORNING ON WEDNESDAY. OKAY. HERE’S SOMETHING THAT MAY BE GETTING ITS ACT TOGETHER SOMEWHAT, MAKING ITS WAY GENERALLY INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO. WHAT WE’RE GOING TO BE WATCHING IS A COLD FRONT THAT’S GOING TO BE DIGGING DOWN SOMETIME WEDNESDAY, EARLY THURSDAY. SOME OF THE SCENARIOS HAVE THAT COLD FRONT MAKING IT FAR ENOUGH TO THE SOUTH OUT IN THE GULF OF MEXICO AND TAKING A LOT OF THAT WEATHER INTO THE STATE OF FLORIDA. NOW, A FEW OF THE MODELS HAVE SOME OF THAT WEATHER CLOSER TO NEW ORLEANS AGAIN, BECAUSE IT’S SO DISORGANIZED, IT’S IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE COMPUTER MODELS TO REALLY GET A GOOD HANDLE ON WHAT THIS IS. WE CAN TELL YOU THIS. THERE’S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT HERE IN THE SHORT TERM. ENJOY YOUR SAINTS SUNDAY. DON’T WORRY ABOUT THIS FOR NOW. IF IT WERE GOING TO AFFECT OUR WEATHER, IT PROBABLY WOULDN’T DO SO UNTIL THURSDAY. SO ENJOY THE FOOTBALL AND THEN WATCH METEOROLOGIST DEVON LUCIE TONIGHT. AFTER THE GAME WE GOT THE CHIEFS CHIEFS AND THE FALCONS RIGHT HERE ON WDSU. BIG GAME DEVIN I’LL HAVE THE LATEST FROM THE HURRICANE CENTER AFTER THE GAME TONIGHT. MOSTLY SUNNY WARM MAINLY DRY. TODAY WE’LL PUT THE CHANCE FOR RAIN OFFICIALLY AT 10%. BUT IF YOU DO SEE A SHOWER IT’S GOING TO BE VERY, VERY ISOLATED. CLEAR SKIES. WINDS ARE GOING TO BE LIGHT TONIGHT. AND YES, IT’S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT MUGGY. I THINK WE’LL BE CLOSE TO 70 DEGREES ON THE NORTH SHORE LOW TO MID 70S EVERYWHERE ELSE. AND THEN TOMORROW, MOSTLY SUNNY AGAIN. WE’RE PUTTING A 10% CHANCE FOR A SHOWER IN THE FORECAST. I THINK IT’S GOING TO BE MORE LIKE A 5% CHANCE, QUITE FRANKLY. IF YOU DO SEE A SHOWER, YOU’RE GOING TO BE ONE OF THE VERY, VERY FEW TOMORROW. AND THE CHANCE FOR RAIN IS GOING TO STAY LOW FOR US AGAIN. TUESDAY. WEDNESDAY, CHANCE FOR RAIN IS GOING UP. I TALKED ABOUT THAT COLD FRONT. I THINK IT’S GOING TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE GULF OF MEXICO AND GET SOUTH OF US, AND THAT MEANS THINGS WILL BE GETTING A LITTLE LESS HUMID. AND IF WHATEVER THAT TROPICAL SYSTEM IS MAKES ITS WAY TOWARD FLORIDA, LET’S JUST CALL IT A TROPICAL DEPRESSION AS IT MAKES ITS WAY TO THE NORTH SOME COOLER AND DRIER AIR COULD BE MOVING IN ON THE BACK SIDE OF THAT, AND YOU SEE THOSE MORNING TEMPERATURES. WE STILL THINK THEY’RE GOING TO GET SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER ON THE NORTH SHOR
