SO NOT EXPECTING TO SEE ANY MORE. BUT WE STILL GOT THE WINDS COMING FROM THE NORTH. SO THAT’S BRINGING IN THAT DRIER AIR FOR US. BUT LET ME TELL YOU, CHANGES ARE ON THE WAY. DEW POINTS OFF THE CHARTS ON THE GOOD SIDE. BUT LOOK WHAT HAPPENS AS YOU GET TO THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK. IT’S GOING TO START GOING BACK UP. SO IT WILL GET A LITTLE BIT MORE MUGGIER, A LITTLE BIT MORE MUGGY. HOWEVER, IT’S NOT GOING TO BE THE WORST THAT WE’VE HAD. JUST KNOW GOING TO INCREASE A LITTLE BIT, BUT NOT TERRIBLE. ALL RIGHT, 24 HOUR TEMPERATURE CHANGE FOR YOU. IF YOU STEP OUTSIDE THIS TIME YESTERDAY. JUST KNOW IT IS A LITTLE BIT WARMER. BUT IT IS BREEZY THOUGH. SO HOT SPOTS HOT SPOTS WEATHER BELLE CHASSE GALLIANO ABOUT 15 PLUS DEGREES WARMER. SO HERE’S YOUR ACTUAL TEMPERATURES. A COUPLE OF 40S ON THE NORTH SHORE, BUT MOSTLY 50S. AND THEN ON THE SOUTH SHORE.

SO NOTICE YES THE CLOUDS WILL STICK AROUND AT LEAST THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. AS I WAS MENTIONING AS WE GET LATER INTO THE MORNING. THEN WE’LL START TO SEE SOME CLEARING.

STILL BELOW AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, BUT OVERALL NOT TOO BAD. IT’S BEEN FEELING GOOD FOR THE AFTERNOONS, BUT HEADS UP, I NEED YOUR ATTENTION RIGHT NOW FOR TOMORROW MORNING. IT IS GOING TO BE COLD LOOKING AT THE 30S ON THE NORTH SHORE AND SOME LOWER 40S FOR EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE NORTH SHORE, SOUTH SHORE. LOOKING AT THE 40S AND THE 50S. SO YES, IT IS GOING TO BE COLDER. BUT AS WE KEEP GOING THROUGHOUT TIME, WE’RE EVENTUALLY GOING TO SEE SOME HIGH PRESSURE THAT’S GOING TO START TO BUILD IN OUR AREA. IT’S GOING TO KEEP THINGS QUIET FOR US. BUT AS WE GET LATER INTO THE WEEK, THAT HIGH PRESSURE EVENTUALLY GOING TO START TO MOVE ON OFF TO THE EAST AS IT DOES WHENEVER THAT HAPPENS, OUR WINDS START TO WHIP ON AROUND AND WE’RE GOING TO GET SOME MORE MOISTURE COMING FROM THE SOUTH. AS FAR AS RAIN GOES. NOT EXPECTING TO SEE A WHOLE LOT AS FAR AS IT GOES, BUT TEMPERATURES FOR US, HOWEVER, WILL INCREASE. SO WE ARE GOING TO BE ABOVE AVERAGE.
