A tropical depression could form near Mexico and Texas next week

All right, your time is 546. And Damon, the biggest concern right now for people is the air quality out there, right. AIR QUALITY IS ONE OF THE CONCERNS. THE HEAT IS WELL ON THE OTHER. And you just mentioned one of the reasons for that. BUT THE OTHER REASON IS THAT HEAT CAN BE REALLY DANGEROUS IN TERMS OF THERMAL ILLNESS. BUT I WANT TO START WITH THE AIR QUALITY ALERT. THIS IS IN EFFECT IN ALL PARTS OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA. AND THIS IS ONLY FOR THE EFFECT IN EFFECT FOR THE DARK GRAY SHADED AREAS. THIS INCLUDES US, SAINT TAMMANY PARISH AND A GOOD PART OF THE SOUTH SHORE HERE, EXCEPT LAFOURCHE AND TERREBONNE PARISH. So it’s a day of action against ozone. OZONE IS AT THE ORANGE LEVEL. AIR QUALITY ALERTS IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT. So if you have breathing problems, lung disease, heart disease, if you're an elderly person and your kids really need to keep track of how long you exercise outside today, the ozone is currently at a moderate level. BUT FROM TEMPERATURES AND SUN, OZONE WILL DEVELOP. AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM FOR SOME PEOPLE. SO EVEN THOUGH IT'S BAD LEVEL TODAY, IT SHOULD BE BETTER TOMORROW. But it's at the upper end just below poverty for tomorrow as well. SO IF YOU'RE IN ONE OF THOSE UNHEALTHY GROUPS, YOU SHOULD REALLY BE CAREFUL OF YOUR EFFORT TODAY AND TOMORROW ACROSS THE ATLANTIC, PRETTY CALM CONDITIONS FOR MOST, LIKE THE CARIBBEAN AND THE GULF OF MEXICO, WHERE THERE IS LOTS OF DRY AIR AND WIND SHEAR THERE TOO. SO THE SYSTEM INVESTS 90 L IS MAKING ITS WAY INTO THE WEST ATLANTIC. IT HAS A SMALL CHANCE OF DEVELOPING. And we're keeping an eye on what's happening here, towards the Yucatan and in the Bay of Campeche. THIS AREA HAS APPROXIMATELY AN AVERAGE CHANCE OF DEVELOPING INTO A TROPICAL SYSTEM IN THE NEXT 2 TO 7 DAYS. OTHERWISE, INVEST 90 THE CHANCES OF GROWING ARE LOW AS IT CONTINUES TO MOVE UP THE EAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES. BUT LOOK AT WHAT THIS MODEL IS DOING WITH THIS PARTICULAR SYSTEM, AND MAYBE DEVELOP IT INTO SOMETHING ON SUNDAY'S ORDER, A BIG PROBLEM FOR BERMUDA THEN TURN IT BACK TO THE EAST COAST BY TUESDAY'S ORDER. WHILE HERE IN THE BAY OF CAMPECHE, THE POSSIBILITY OF SOMETHING DEVELOPING THERE. But models generally agree that it's headed toward Mexico. This is where the strongest winds and all the precipitation will go. FOR THE MOST OF IT, SOME OF THIS TROPICAL HUMIDITY WILL START TO MOVE INTO OUR AREA BY FATHER'S DAY. AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE A FEW SHOWERS AND A LOT OF STORMS ALL NEXT WEEK. IN ADDITION TO HEAT. I mean, the heat is pretty much going to be the big problem for us on Friday and Saturday. But this large dome of high pressure is helping to move this system westward. RIGHT AWAY. OUR RADAR IMAGE IS BEAUTIFUL AND CLEAR. We've had a few showers offshore, but nothing there yet. TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE UPPER 60S AND LOW 70S. IF YOU ARE ON THE NORTH SHORE YOU ARE IN THE 70S TO 80S HERE ON THE SOUTH SHORE, AND WE EXPECT TODAY THAT THE TEMPERATURES FOR MANY OF THEM WILL RISE UP TO 'IN THE MID 90'S. BUT IN SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA, 80'S TO 90'S, WITH LIKE 10 TO 20% CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION FOR US, MOSTLY HERE ON THE SOUTH SHORE. YOUR HIGHS FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON LOOKS LIKE IT COULD UP TO ABOUT 96 DEGREES AT THE AIRPORT AND SOME MID 90S OVERALL, MOSTLY ON THE NORTH SHORE. FOR YOUR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THIS MODEL SHOWS 98 DEGREES OF POSSIBILITY FOR SOME INSULATED SHOWERS. TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE LAKE. DURING SATURDAY AFTERNOON. VERY HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED FOR THE COMING DAYS. AND EVEN TODAY THESE TEMPERATURES ARE PROBABLY 9394 FOR A HIGH TODAY AT THE AIRPORT. KEEP IN MIND THAT THE UV INDEX IS IN A VERY HIGH RANGE TODAY. OVER THE NEXT DAYS THE UV INDEX WILL BE IN THE EXTREME RANGE. YOU MUST THEREFORE PROTECT YOUR SKIN AND EYES FROM DANGEROUS SUN RAYS. Put on your sunglasses, put on your sunscreen. THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US. HERE'S A QUICK LOOK AT YOUR FIRST WARNING WDSU SEVEN-DAY FORECAST IMPACT WEATHER DAY TODAY, TOMORROW AND SATURDAY, FATHER'S DAY. AROUND 40% CHANCE OF RAIN AND DACIA WILL NOT
