Impressive rainfall amounts have fallen across the WGNO viewing area this morning, especially on the Northshore and Mississippi Gulf Coast.

The majority of heavy downpours and lightning have now moved west towards Baton Rouge, but we are still dealing with lingering showers on the Causeway and southshore.

Recent short term models indicate much more widespread rain developing through the day on Friday so this will be the best rain chance over the next few days. Once again the main threat will be locally heavy downpours and lightning.

Temperatures will struggle to reach 90 if the rain occurs as models indicate. Look for low to mid 90s Saturday and then mid 90s Sunday with drier conditions. Rain chances will still be up around 40-50% on Saturday and then look to drop to 20-30% on Sunday and early next week.
