Some of the hottest temperatures of the week can be expected as we head into our Friday as we are heading into the upper 90s to near 100°.

Quiet weather is moving back in as the remnants of Bertha slide into central Texas and allow high pressure to push back into the region.

We are continuing to keep a close watch on Tropical Storm Bertha as it nears Southeast Louisiana later today, but also dangerous heat here in SWLA.

When a storm approaches, our First Alert Weather Team works around the clock to relay crucial information, but what comes before that forecast hits the air?

High pressure will be our best friend as we move through much of the week ahead as it will keep things nice and quiet.

It’s a quiet start to the day compared to the last few mornings, but that will mean heat and humidity will build through the afternoon.

Some of our eastern zones are starting off with tropical downpours this morning as what was Arthur slowly pushes to the northeast.

Temperatures are off to a cooler start this morning with most areas back into the upper 40s to lower 50s to start the day.

First Alert Forecast: Warm and humid Friday, as our cold front brings much needed rainfall this weekend

First Alert Forecast: Strong northerly winds bring in drier air, chance for frost and freeze Tuesday morning
