NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - A severe weather risk will develop early Sunday as a front moves across Louisiana. Today and Saturday is much of the same weather. It’ll be warm, humid and windy. Highs each afternoon will be in the middle 80s with a gusty breeze as high as 40 mph. Sunday, before daybreak, we start paying attention to the weather. A line of strong to severe storms will enter our western areas by 2-3AM and continue across the region through the early morning hours.

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - The record warmth and humidity is locked in for a few more days ahead of a weekend storm threat. Today, Friday and again Saturday could see highs approach record levels. Expect temperatures to soar each afternoon into the middle to upper 80s. The south breeze will continue so it does help with the way it feels outside. The first half of the weekend starts quiet but it finishes with a stormy bang.

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - A hint of fall is in the air this morning as you can feel the crisp, dry air across the area. That dry air mass will sit on us for at least another 24 hours so enjoy it as much as possible. Through the day today, bright sunshine will heat things up nicely. I think highs still manage the middle 90s in most spots but our heat index values likely don’t top 100 at any point this afternoon.

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Change is in the air this morning as humidity levels are crashing behind an August front. It’s not so much a cold front passing through but it’s certainly going to be a humidity front. Expect a much better feel as we go through the day today as dew points lower making our heat much more manageable. Even though highs will remain well into the 90s in that abundant sunshine, heat index values likely struggle to hit 100 over the next few days.

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - The addition of scattered rain in the forecast is set to help with our heat levels just a bit. Now August is still going to be hot and today there remains a Heat Advisory in effect. Highs do take a step down from those upper 90s of the past few days though. The main reasoning for the lowering of the heat is because of extra clouds and a scattered storm chance. Today’s storm threat will be about 40%.

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - A change is in the air as storm chances ramp up but the high heat remains. Today expect the heat to build through the morning into the early afternoon. This should be plenty enough time to get highs into the middle to upper 90s which will yield heat index values above 113 at times. Those high heat levels will also be the fuel for some big storm development by this afternoon. Expect widespread storms at times with stronger storms a possibility.

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - It’s going to be another blazing hot day across the area but signs point to a stormy change in the coming days. Highs will soar once again today as we see most spots top out in the upper 90s to near 100 degrees. The bad humidity is back so those upper 90s will feel more like 108-112 consistently through the day today. This can be dangerous heat so another Heat Advisory is in effect. Rain chances for your Wednesday look spotty at best but that will change late week.

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - The drop in humidity this weekend made for a nice feel at times but quickly the very hot and humid conditions make a return this week. Today will be a transition day of sorts as the less humid air starts to filter out and the mostly dry skies make for another hot one. Highs will top out in the middle 90s but you’ll start to feel those temperatures a bit more as the humidity rises. I’m keeping a 20% stray storm chance in today’s forecast.

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Record highs are likely to fall today as the heat wave continues to roll right along. Today’s record is only 97° which is likely to be blown by as we head into this afternoon. I’m thinking highs stay short of 100° but still get to 98 or 99 through the day today. Feels like readings will trend hotter than that by about 10 degrees making for a peak around 108-110°. That means another Heat Advisory is in effect today.
