A LOT OF THESE OFFSHORE THUNDERSTORMS HAPPENING FOR US. THAT’S WHY YOU’RE SEEING THAT. SO BEFORE WE GET TO THAT, LET’S JUST DO A QUICK CHECK OF THE TROPICS FOR YOU. AS OF RIGHT NOW, LOOKING AT STILL A 20% CHANCE OF SEEING SOME DEVELOPMENT HAPPENING. NOW, THIS WAS THE SAME AS YESTERDAY. NOT SEEING ANY LOW PRESSURE, A LOW PRESSURE BEING FORMED JUST YET. BUT THIS ONE IS NEW. JUST SOUTH OF BERMUDA. WE’RE LOOKING AT SOME DISORGANIZED STORMS STARTING TO FORM SO THAT WILL ALSO BE SOMETHING TO WATCH. SO NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS GOING INTO NEXT WEEK, EXPECT SOME UPDATES TO HAPPEN. AS FAR AS THE TROPICS GO. THIS IS WHAT THE GULF OF MEXICO LOOKS LIKE. IT’S VERY BUSY. A LOT OF MOISTURE HAPPENING AND THEN IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS THOUGH, WE’RE GOING TO START TO HIT THAT PEAK OF HURRICANE SEASON. SO BE ON THE LOOKOUT. WE COULD BE TALKING ABOUT SOME STUFF IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. ALL RIGHT, SO LET’S GET BACK TO HOME. BACK TO RIGHT NOW. YOU CAN SEE WHERE THOSE THUNDERSTORMS ARE JUST OFFSHORE NOW, TRYING TO COME EVER SO CLOSER. AND THAT’S WHY A LOT OF US AS YOU’RE ON THE WAY INTO WORK, YOU’LL PROBABLY SEE LIGHTNING STRIKES OFF INTO THE DISTANCE. SO JUST A HEADS UP. DO HAVE SOME THUNDERSTORMS HAPPENING. JUST OFFSHORE. POINTE A LA HACHE YOU GUYS, WE’RE LOOKING AT SOME SHOWERS NOW. VERY LIGHT SHOWERS UP TO THE NORTH OF YOU. BUT LET’S TIME THIS OUT FOR EVERYBODY ELSE AS WE HEAD THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE MORNING. HERE’S 8 A.M. STILL LOOKING AT THE COASTAL AREAS, GETTING SOME OF THAT RAIN. AND THEN AS WE GO THROUGHOUT LATER INTO THE MORNING, CLOSER TO NOON, THAT’S WHEN SOME OF US WILL FINALLY START TO SEE SOME. THIS COULD BE VERY HEAVY FOR FOLKS, AND I’VE ALSO BEEN SEEING A LOT OF LIGHTNING AS FAR AS THE PROJECTIONS GO, THE FORECAST FOR LIGHTNING. SO JUST A HEADS UP THERE. HERE’S 1 P.M. STILL SEEING THAT THIBODAUX HOUMA ALSO STILL SEEING THE SHOWERS YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN SEEING RAIN LATER FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. AND THEN 6 P.M. MAYBE OVER NEW ORLEANS FOR US. SO DON’T BE SURPRISED IF YOU DO GET A QUICK DOWNPOUR HAPPENING NORTH SHORE THOUGH YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO SEE AS MUCH TODAY. AND REALLY, YOU DO NEED SOME MORE RAIN BECAUSE IT’S BEEN VERY DRY. BUT HERE’S A LITTLE BIT OF GOOD NEWS FOR YOU OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. HERE’S THE PROJECTIONS OF WHAT WE COULD BE SEEING AS FAR AS RAINFALL TOTALS GO.
