Today is a WDSU First Warning Weather Alert Day. We are under a Level 3 & 4 risk for severe weather this afternoon to the evening. Impacts include damaging winds, tornadoes, hail, and heavy rain. All of the Northshore, River Parishes, and the New Orleans metro area are under that Level 4 or a Moderate Risk for severe weather. Areas to the south of that are under a Level 3 or Enhanced Risk. We could see storms arrive to the west of I-55 by noon. These storms continue to move east into the rest of the Northshore and the River Parishes and Bayou. New Orleans could possibly see storms by 2 p.m. These storms continue throughout the afternoon, moving east of New Orleans by 6 p.m. or earlier. Any tornadoes that form, could be strong and long-lived. Hail could be two inches in diameter or larger. Strong winds today could cause damage. Once storms move out this evening, expect breezy conditions to continue throughout the evening. Lows tonight fall to the 50s. Sunday’s highs will be near seasonal, right near average for this time of the year. More 70s are expected throughout next week. Our next best chance for a shower is Wednesday. Temperatures possibly cooling to the upper 60s by Thursday.
