Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories are up for today, with highs expected to reach up to around 98 degrees and heat indicies still up into the 100's. This will be close to the record-breaking highs yesterday of 99 at Louis Armstrong International Airport, 102 at Audubon Park, and the all-time high for June at Slidell of 100 reached on Tuesday. Todays records are 96 at the Airport from 1977 and 99 at Audubon Park from 2006.

Finally by the weekend, the extreme heat may begin to break. This expansive bubble of heat, humidity, and rain-free weather may shift to the west from Friday, onward. This means a return to our typical summertime afternoon showers and storms and temperatures returning to more seasonable summer levels in the lower and middle 90's through the weekend and into next week.
