[00:00:01]CAN START PEELING THEM QUICKLY.

[00:00:03]YES INDEED.

[00:00:04]ALL RIGHT.

[00:00:04]IT’S IT’S REALLY NASTY TODAY.

[00:00:06]YEAH IT IS.

[00:00:07]YOU KNOW THE RAIN JUST STARTED BACK UP IN MANDEVILLE.

[00:00:09]SO FANTASTIC.

[00:00:10]YEAH, EXACTLY.

[00:00:11]SO JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD A BREAK, YOU DON’T HAVE A BREAK ANYMORE.

[00:00:15]LAKEVIEW HOSPITAL CAMERA SHOWING SOME RAIN OUT THERE.

[00:00:16]IT’S NOT THE HEAVIEST, THOUGH, BUT I WOULD CALL THIS A NUISANCE.

[00:00:19]RAIN.

[00:00:19]THIS IS A LOT BETTER THAN WHAT YOU DID HAVE EARLIER THIS MORNING.

[00:00:22]BUT YET YOU’RE STILL DEALING WITH IT.

[00:00:24]HERE’S WHAT’S GOING ON.

[00:00:25]THE BIGGER PICTURE FOR US.

[00:00:26]A GOOD CHUNK OF US ARE ACTUALLY DRY RIGHT NOW.

[00:00:29]YOU CAN SEE WHERE ALL THE ACTIVITY IS.

[00:00:31]IT’S ON THE NORTH SHORE, STARTING TO MOVE INTO THE NORTH SHORE, STILL LOOKING AT A FLASH FLOOD WARNING.

[00:00:36]THIS THOUGH IS ABOUT TO EXPIRE.

[00:00:39]NEW ORLEANS EAST UNTIL 230.

[00:00:40]BUT IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE WE’RE SEEING ANY ADDITIONAL RAIN ANY TIME SOON AT LEAST.

[00:00:45]BUT MAYBE A FEW MORE HOURS FROM NOW.

[00:00:47]AND THEN WE’RE TAKING A LOOK OUT AT OUR MISSISSIPPI COUNTIES, WHERE THINGS HAVE BEEN VERY ACTIVE OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS.

[00:00:52]STILL GOT A FLASH FLOOD WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL TWO.

[00:00:55]BUT THIS IS WHAT I WAS ALSO TALKING ABOUT.

[00:00:57]SOME LIGHTER SHOWERS STARTING TO MAKE THEIR WAY IN LACOMBE LOOKING AT MANDEVILLE, MADISONVILLE, COVINGTON.

[00:01:03]ABOUT HALF OF THE CAUSEWAY LOOKING AT SOME RAIN RIGHT NOW.

[00:01:06]HERE’S THE RAINFALL AMOUNTS THAT WE HAVE SEEN.

[00:01:09]THESE ARE JUST GOING TO CONTINUE TO GO UP, ESPECIALLY OVER IN MISSISSIPPI, LOOKING AT FIVE PLUS INCHES.

[00:01:15]AGAIN, THAT’S ONLY OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS.

[00:01:17]THIS DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WHAT WE’VE SEEN OVER DAYS.

[00:01:21]SO THE GROUND VERY SATURATED RIVERS ARE STRUGGLING AS WELL.

[00:01:25]ARE WE DONE?

[00:01:26]NOT QUITE DONE.

[00:01:27]BUT HERE’S THE HEAVIEST STUFF.

[00:01:28]WE ARE PRETTY MUCH DONE WITH THE BIG STORMS THAT WE DID HAVE EARLIER TODAY.

[00:01:33]NOW ON THE BACK END OF THIS, WE’RE EXPECTING SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS.

[00:01:36]THUNDERSTORMS STILL ARRIVE FOR US, SO WE’RE NOT COMPLETELY DONE.

[00:01:39]HOLD ON TO THE RAIN GEAR, BUT IT WON’T BE AS INTENSE AS WHAT WE SAW FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY.

[00:01:46]SO I DON’T ANTICIPATE ANY MORE MAJOR FLASH FLOODING HAPPENING FOR US, BUT OTHER RAINFALL TOTALS THAT WE HAVE SEEN, YOU CAN SEE SOME SPOTS BARELY SEEING ANYTHING OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS.

[00:01:55]SO JUST ALL DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU ARE ACROSS THE AREA.

[00:01:59]AND AGAIN, WE’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE RIVERS TO WATCHING THOSE VERY CLOSELY.

[00:02:03]SO WE’RE EXPECTING SOME TO RISE INTO THE MAJOR CATEGORY AS WE’RE GETTING INTO THE NEXT 24 HOURS OR SO, NEXT 1224 HOURS.

[00:02:11]BUT THEN IT WON’T STAY THERE VERY LONG.

[00:02:13]IT WILL START TO GO DOWN AS FAR AS THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT FOR TOMORROW, THAT’S GOING TO SHIFT ON OVER TO THE EAST.

[00:02:19]AND THEN FOR SATURDAY, IT GOES EVEN MORE TO THE EAST, LIKE LITERALLY OUT TO THE EAST.

[00:02:23]SO WE’RE STARTING TO ENTER INTO OUR SUMMERTIME PATTERN.

[00:02:26]SO WE ARE LOOKING AT A PATTERN CHANGE.

[00:02:28]PAST SEVERAL DAYS HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH NOTHING, BUT RAIN HAS BEEN KIND OF ON AND OFF, HIT OR MISS EVERY OTHER DAY OR SO.

[00:02:34]BUT NOW WE CAN EXPECT MORE OF THESE TO POP UP FOR THE AFTERNOON.

[00:02:38]SO DAYTIME HEATING TYPE STORMS LOOKING AT FRIDAY, THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE EXPECTING TO SEE.

[00:02:42]I THINK MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WILL BE FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE DAY.

[00:02:45]SOME OF YOU WILL HAVE TO DODGE THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

[00:02:48]OTHERS MIGHT END UP BEING ON THE DRY SIDE AGAIN.

[00:02:51]THAT’S FOR YOUR FRIDAY.

[00:02:52]FOR YOUR SATURDAY.

[00:02:53]WE CAN ALSO SEE THAT SAME THING.

[00:02:55]SO YOU GET THE STORY.

[00:02:56]IT’S ABOUT TO CHANGE FOR US.

[00:02:57]BUT HERE’S ALSO SOME WELCOME NEWS FOR YOU.

[00:03:00]THAT FORECASTED RAINFALL TOTALS HERE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS, ABOUT 1 TO 2IN, A LOT BETTER THAN WHAT WE DID HAVE DAYS AGO.

[00:03:08]BIG DIFFERENCE OUT TOWARDS THAT WAY.

[00:03:10]BUT AS FAR AS WHAT WE’RE EXPECTING TO SEE, OUR TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW 70, YOU CAN SEE THE RAIN, COOL TEMPERATURES FOR SOME OF YOU, 73 OVER IN SLIDELL, HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR TODAY WILL EVENTUALLY MAKE IT INTO THE LOWER 80S.

[00:03:22]AND THEN FOR THE REST OF THE FORECAST, ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN POSSIBLE FOR TOMORROW.

[00:03:26]WE MAY END UP DROPPING THAT
