Jefferson Parish prison employee arrested and charged with stealing over $100,000 in bonds

OKAY. NOW CHANGING THE TIME, IT'S 12:17 PM. LET'S CHECK THE FORECAST WITH JIM. JIM, WHAT CAN YOU TELL US? So, we're tracking a couple of very small rain showers that are coming in right now. And the forecast actually says there's a chance of rain all weekend. But I'm putting the chance of rain at maybe 10%. So if you see a shower today, Saturday or Sunday, you're going to be one of very few. Let's go straight to the first warning radar from WDSU. These are rain showers that are developing and barely moving. You'll see the total lightning strike in the upper right of your screen. SO THESE ARE JUST SHOWERS THAT JUST DROVE SOUTH AND RAINED UP AGAIN. GRAND ISLE: MAYBE A FEW RAINDROPS COME OUT BUT I THINK THIS WILL PROBABLY DISSOLVE BEFORE IT REACHES GRAND ISLE. OUR TEMPERATURES ARE RATHER WARM RIGHT NOW. WE ARE RATHER HOT DEPENDING ON THE LEVEL OF VISIBILITY. 93 IN BATON ROUGE, 90. OUR OFFICIAL CURRENT TEMPERATURE AT THE AIRPORT, DOUBLE COCO AT THE LAKE. 90. OUR CURRENT TEMPERATURE IN GULFPORT. HERE'S A LOOK AT THE CURRENT CONDITIONS AT LOUIS ARMSTRONG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, THE DEW POINT IS UP HERE. WE HOPED THE DEW POINT MIGHT DECLINE BY THE END OF THE WEEK. TO START THE WEEKEND. I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. THE DEW POINT WILL LIKELY STAY IN THE LOW TO MID 20S FOR MOST OF THE WEEKEND. THE NORTH WIND IS RIGHT NOW AT ABOUT 13 MILES PER HOUR. HERE'S A LOOK AT THE CURRENT SURFACE MAP AS FAR AS THE SATELLITE VIEW AND RADAR COMPOSITE CAN REACH. TO THE NORTH WE HAVE HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE. THAT KIND OF CONTROLS OUR WEATHER AND HELPS BRING US THE NORTH WIND AND HUMIDITY TO THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. WELL, THERE'S A LITTLE, BUT NOT MUCH. IN FACT, IT'S RELATIVELY DRY IN THE MIDDLE AND UPPER ELEVATIONS. THAT'S WHY THE CHANCE OF RAIN IS OFFICIALLY ONLY ABOUT 10% THROUGH SUNDAY. OK, LET'S GO TO THE TROPICS BECAUSE WE HAVE SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT IN THE NEXT WEEK. THE GULF IS QUIETLY CLOUDY IN THE CARIBBEAN. WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A MINUTE. TWO TROPICAL WAVES THAT WILL OCCUR AFTER THE HURRICANE CENTER IN THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS WITH A 20% CHANCE, BUT NEITHER OF THEM WILL HAVE ANY IMPACT IN OUR OPINION. THAT'S WHAT WE WILL BE WATCHING. CARIBBEAN AND THEN THE SOUTHERN GULF OF MEXICO BY EARLY NEXT WEEK, 40% CHANCE THAT WHATEVER IT IS WILL DEVELOP INTO SOMETHING. AND THERE'S A COMPUTER MODEL THAT HAS PREDICTTED SOMETHING TROPICAL NEAR US BY NEXT WEEKEND. BUT THERE ARE OTHER COMPUTER MODELS THAT KEEP IT VERY FAR AWAY FROM US AND OTHER COMPUTER MODELS THAT DON'T SHOW IT AT ALL. SO YES, THAT'S SOMETHING WE'LL BE WATCHING EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS WEEKEND THERE'S NOTHING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT, BUT WE'LL BE FOCUSING ON THE SOUTHERN GULF. I THINK MONDAY AND TUESDAY. AGAIN TODAY THE CHANCE OF RAIN IS OFFICIALLY 10%. SOME RAIN, POSSIBLY NEAR THE GULF. IF WE HAVE ABOUT FIVE 6 AM, YOU START SATURDAY AGAIN WITH OVER 6 PM ON THE NORTH SHORE. AT LEAST CLOSE TO IT IN SOME PLACES. 10% CHANCE OF RAIN SATURDAY AFTERNOON. AND HERE'S YOUR HOLY SUNDAY. WE START AGAIN. OVER 6 PM ON THE NORTH SHORE FIRST IN THE MORNING. AROUND 8:30 9 AM HEAD TO THE SUPERDOME. VERY COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURES. CLOSE TO GAME START. WE SHOULD HAVE RAIN OVER 25 ON SUNDAY AND AGAIN. WILL BE HARD TO FIND. We're putting the chance of rain at 10%, but in reality it's probably a little lower. We'll have mostly sunny and hot this afternoon, mostly dry. Temperatures in the 32 degree range. Tonight, skies will be clear. Winds will be light. It will be muggy. Temperatures will start at 21 degrees in most places, then it will be mostly sunny, with a scattered shower in your forecast for tomorrow and a scattered shower in the forecast again on Sunday. Tuesday and Wednesday will see a little more moisture, a few more showers, and on Thursday a cold front could actually approach, giving us a higher chance of rain. THAT'
