RB John Emery will pursue seventh college football season

DUE TO THIS ONGOING INVESTIGATION. TIME NOW IS 1215 AND LET’S TURN OUR ATTENTION BACK HERE AT HOME AS WE GET ANOTHER CHECK FOR YOU OF YOUR FIRST WARNING WEATHER FORECAST. IF YOU’RE HEADED OUT TO LUNCH RIGHT NOW, GRAB A JACKET. YOU’RE GOING TO NEED IT. IT’S CHILLY OUT THERE. BEAUTIFUL. BUT CHILLY. YEAH, IT IS A LITTLE COOL OUT THERE. WE JUST HAD A COLD FRONT MOVE THROUGH THIS MORNING. AND ALSO WE’RE SEEING THE BREEZY NORTHWESTERLY WINDS BEHIND IT, AS WELL AS HIGH PRESSURE IS ALSO BUILDING IN BEHIND US HERE TOO. SO THAT’S CAUSING THE WIND SPEEDS TO PICK UP HERE TOO. LIVE. LOOK BEHIND ME FROM OUR HYATT REGENCY TOWER CAMERA. THINGS COULD NOT LOOK ANY NICER. CRYSTAL CLEAR BLUE SKY AND PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. BIGGER PICTURE THOUGH, SHOWING THAT OLD COLD FRONT NOW POSITIONED TO THE EAST OF US. HIGH PRESSURE NOW BUILDING IN BEHIND IT TOWARDS THE WEST. SO WE’RE STUCK IN BETWEEN THOSE TWO SYSTEMS RIGHT NOW. AND THAT’S THE REASON WHY OUR WINDS ARE LOOKING A LITTLE BIT ON THE BREEZY SIDE, AND ALSO PLENTY OF DRY AIR, WHICH I’LL GET TO IN A SECOND. YOU CAN SEE JUST HOW DRY IT IS RIGHT NOW IN SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA. NOT A CLOUD HERE IN SIGHT. LOOK AT THE WINDS FROM THE NORTHWEST AT AROUND 10 TO 20 PLUS MILES PER HOUR. SO PRETTY WINDY AT THE MOMENT AND ALSO VERY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES. AND THAT IS WHY WE ARE UNDER THESE RED FLAG WARNINGS FOR MUCH OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA UNTIL 7 P.M. BECAUSE OF THE COMBINATION OF THE BREEZY DRYNESS AND ALSO THE COOLNESS OF THE WEATHER PATTERN RIGHT NOW. SO OUTDOOR BURNING IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED, AT LEAST UNTIL EARLY THIS EVENING. LET’S GET TO YOUR CURRENT TEMPERATURES. UPPER 50S HERE FOR THE MOST PART 59 IN HAMMOND, ALSO IN NEW ORLEANS, BELLE CHASSE MEASURING 56 DEGREES. GALLIANO A LITTLE BIT WARMER AT 61. THE REST OF TODAY. LOTS OF SUNSHINE, THE DRY AND BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO PREVAIL, WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO REACH THE MID 60S THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA. LET’S GET TO YOUR FORECAST. TONIGHT, CLEAR SKIES, COOLER AND DRIER HERE TOO. TEMPERATURES FALLING MUCH COLDER HERE INTO THE MID 30S ON THE NORTH SHORE. 40S, HOWEVER, MAINLY FOR THE SOUTH SHORE. SO GETTING BACK TO THAT BIGGER PICTURE, WE’RE WATCHING HIGH PRESSURE AS WE HEAD INTO THE DAY TOMORROW. THAT’S WHY OUR SKIES ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAVE HERE TODAY, WHICH IS DRYNESS AND PLENTY OF SUNSHINE AND CLEAR SKIES. THE SOUTH WINDS HERE COMING UP FROM THE GULF AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW WILL HELP OUR TEMPERATURES WARM UP A LITTLE BIT MORE HEADING INTO THE DAY TOMORROW. HERE WE GO. AS WE TAKE YOU INTO SATURDAY. MORE OF THAT SAME WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE. WE’LL LOOK AT THE WINDS COMING FROM THE SOUTHEAST HERE A LITTLE BIT, SO THAT SHOULD HELP WARM US UP EVEN MORE. BUT I WANT TO GET TO THIS NEXT STORM SYSTEM COMING IN ON MONDAY. IT IS A COLD FRONT, ANOTHER COLD FRONT THAT IS AND THAT’S GOING TO MOVE SOUTH INTO SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. THAT COULD PROMPT MORE SHOWERS, MAYBE EVEN SOME MORE THUNDERSTORMS, MAYBE EVEN SOME OF THEM STRONG HERE TOO. SO SOME OF THEM WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR SLIGHT CHANCE OF AT LEAST A MODERATE OR MARGINAL RISK, I SHOULD SAY, OF FLOODING HERE ACROSS SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA WITH THIS STORM SYSTEM COMING THROUGH. AND THEN AS WE HEAD INTO TUESDAY, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT WET HERE IN SOME LOCATIONS HERE EARLY IN THE MORNING. BUT I THINK BY THE REST OF THE DAY ON TUESDAY, THAT’S WHEN WE START TO DRY OUT. CONDITIONS WILL BE IN MUCH BETTER SHAPE BY THAT POINT, AND RAIN CHANCES WILL BE GOING DOWN. BUT YOU CAN SEE ON THE WDSU FIRST WARNING SEVEN DAY FORECAST, WE GOT SOME NICE AWESOME WEATHER IN THE FORECAST THROUGH AT LEAST SATURDAY BEFORE TURNING A LITTLE CLOUDIER ON SUNDAY WITH HIGHS AROUND 78 DEGREES. KEEP THOSE STORM CHANCES AT 60% FOR NOW. WITH A WEATHER IMPACT DAY IN PLACE ON MONDAY. TUESDAY LOOKING MOSTLY SUNNY, 75 DEGREES AND WEDNESDAY. THAT’S WHEN WE COULD BE WARMING
