Slidell man arrested after drug investigation

THIS VERY HOT THURSDAY AFTERNOON. METEOROLOGIST ERIC SIBLEY IS CHECKING THE FORECAST LIVE. HEY, DEREK. HEY, AUBREY. YEAH, IT'S DEFINITELY LOOKS NICE OUT THERE. BUT AS YOU MENTIONED, IT'S PRETTY HOT. TEMPERATURES ARE ALREADY OVER 30 READINGS HERE IN SOME PLACES AND FEELING LIKE THREE DIGITS. HERE'S A LOOK AT THE LAST SIX HOURS LOCALLY IN SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA. AND WE'RE SEEING A FEW DELAYED SHOWERS HERE AND THERE. MAINLY HERE, BUT ALONG PARTS OF THE SOUTH COAST. AND IF WE EXPAND A LITTLE HERE, YOU CAN SEE THAT OUR WEATHER PATTERN LOOKS PRETTY SIMILAR IN GENERAL ACROSS MOST OF THE GULF COAST. ALSO A FEW DIFFERENT BLOWS OF RAIN HERE AND THERE ON THE GULF OF MEXICO. TEMPERATURES AT LAKEFRONT AT 85, BELLE CHASSE AT 87, HAMMONDS AT 88, SLIDELL AT 91. BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS BIGGER WHEN YOU TAKE RELATIVE HUMIDITY INTO ACCOUNT. IN SLIDELL IT CURRENTLY FEELS LIKE 100, HERE ON THE SOUTH COAST OUR FEEL TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S. OUR HIGHS TODAY WILL BE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S. We're pretty close to where we are now. And you can see some clouds here. And there's maybe an isolated shower here, maybe in a few spots. As we take you through today and into the evening as well. But a lot of it is mainly concentrated here along the coast and also a few of it up here towards the north coast. You can see them moving south a little bit tonight, but other than that, we're in for mainly dry conditions here. For many of us here, that's going to continue tomorrow, to say the least. MAYBE A FEW SPOTS OF RAIN IN COASTAL COUNTRIES AGAIN UNTIL TOMORROW AFTERNOON, AND THEN YOU CAN SEE TOMORROW EVENING THE SKIES CLEARING UP AGAIN, WITH A FEW CLOUDS HERE AND THERE. SO TOMORROW WE COULD WAKE UP EARLY TO VARIOUS FOG, MAINLY ON THE SOUTH COAST WHERE VISIBILITY COULD BE REDUCED TO 1 TO 3 KM AND IN SOME PLACES VISIBILITY IS EVEN LESS. SOME ISOLATED PLACES BEFORE IT STARTS TO END. HERE, UNTIL WE HAVE ABOUT 9:00 AM TOMORROW. OK, IN THE TROPICS, WE'RE WATCHING A COUPLE OF SYSTEMS IN THE SUBTROPICAL ATLANTIC. ONE HERE WE HAVE, THE REMAINS OF GORDON. AND THAT HAS ABOUT A 30% CHANCE OF RE-DEVELOPING IN THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. IT'S COME DOWN HERE IN THE MEANTIME. IT LOOKS LIKE WE'LL ALSO BE WATCHING WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE IN THE WESTERN SUBCENTRAL SUBTROPICAL ATLANTIC WHERE THERE'S ABOUT A 20% CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT. THERE'S NO THREAT HERE IN SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA, BUT WE'LL BE WATCHING THIS SYSTEM HERE IN THE NORTHWEST CARIBBEAN WHICH HAS ABOUT A 40% CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT. NOTHING THERE YET. BUT OVER THE WEEKEND AND ALSO INTO THE EARLY EARLY NEXT WEEK WE MAY SEE A DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE AREA THAT COULD DEVELOP. AND SOME OF THE MODELS WE USE, THE EUROPEAN MODEL AND THE GFS MODEL, SUGGEST THAT THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN HERE AS WE APPROACH THE TUESDAY TIME FRAME. AND THEY PRETTY MUCH AGREE THAT IT WILL MOVE BACK NORTH TO THURSDAY. HERE. SO IN ABOUT A WEEK WE COULD SEE A SYSTEM ENTERING THE GULF OF MEXICO. AND THEN AS WE APPROACH NEXT WEEKEND, THEN THE MODELS HERE ALSO SHOW THAT WE'LL STILL BE LOOKING AT THE SYSTEM ON ITS WAY INTO THE GULF, BUT WHERE IT GOES FROM THERE, SOME MODELS KEEP IT FURTHER EAST, SOME KEEP IT FURTHER WEST. BUT IN VIEW, IT'S JUST SOMETHING WE NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON. JUST TRACK AND MONITOR IT HERE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. CURRENTLY NO IMMEDIATE DANGER FOR SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA. WDSU FIRST ALERT, SEVEN-DAY FORECAST. HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 30S UNTIL AT LEAST SUNDAY, WITH A FEW PASSING CLOUDS. Slight chance of a shower or two and overall T
