It seems that rain chances may stay at 20% the next few days and we may continue with mid to upper 90s through the 4th of July weekend.
Dew points are down slightly for Tuesday, but will rise again on Wednesday. Heat indices will be around 100-110 Wednesday through Sunday.

New Record Highs Monday, Kenner 97, Audubon tied a record 98, and Slidell new record of 98.
Heavy storms prompted an Urban Flood Advisory Monday afternoon for the southshore with some street flooding reported. 1-2" of rain fell today.
A weak front may slip just south of the city on Tuesday to allow slightly lower dewpoints. It may not be as humid on Tuesday with rain chance 20%. Highs will still be in mid 90s.

The Upper High Pressure area is still in place, but there may be movement into next week. Until then, near record highs in the mid to upper 90s over the weekend. The heat index will be at or above 100. Rain chances Saturday less than 10% and 10% on Sunday.
Sunday is the 1st day of Summer and Father's day.
Happy Father's Day from the WWL-TV WeatherCenter.

Weather patterns develop and some stay stagnant for weeks. This is a strong upper high which hasn't moved because the Jet Stream this time of year is too far north for any upper trough to come down and nudge the high out of the way. It apperas on computer models that the strong upper high may start to weaken over the weekend and early next week that a trough moving over the northern U.S. may nudge the weaker upper high to the west a...

The weather forecast sounds like a broken record. With a large upper high over the Gulf south and the Gulf of Mexico, we continue to have a lack of clouds and sinking air to allow more sunshine and heating. Highs will be near record levels through Thursday in the mid 90s with the feel like temperature around or above 100 degrees. Any hope for rain is slim at 10% or less.
Sunday is the start of summer and Father's Day. Keep D...

An upper high pressure area responsible for our lack of rain is expected to build more over our area and may cause high temperatures to rise slightly through the weekend.
Rain chances will remain around 10% for an isolated shower or thunderstorm and again any thunderstorm may produce quick heavy downpours because the air is so full of moisture.
Highs on Saturday through early next week may reach the mid to upper 90s with...

Just want to remind everyone that a 10% chance for a shower or thunderstorm is not a dry forecast. A shower or thunderstorm may develop, but the majority of us may not see rain at all. The pattern that we are in will not allow much widespread rain or thunderstorm activity to develop. Any rain developing will be due to the heating of the day. The only thing to really remember is that the atmosphere is very moist with dew points aro...
