Even though storms are still in the forecast, many will experience high heat index values before any storms move in. A Heat Advisory is in effect for the entire Capital area as heat index values will exceed 108.

[Dave Baker @DaveBakerTV]

Storms continue to push southward but are weakening somewhat. Regardless, areas that received heavy rain will get more today, and the flood threat continues. Southern areas will deal with the heat. Click for your forecast.

Heavy rain continues over north Louisiana with another cluster of storms over Texas. Unfortunately, if these hold together, they'll be moving over areas already hit by significant flooding. I'll have your forecast on @WBRZ Channel 2's Morning News at 9.

[Dave Baker @DaveBakerTV]

Heat will be a big issue this week, but we still have one more day where heavy rain could threaten areas already hit by flooding. Here's more in your Storm Station Video Extra.

[Dave Baker @DaveBakerTV]

Dangerous heat and flooding rainfall are both concerns this weekend. A Heat Advisory is in effect today, and scattered storms could produce heavy downpours, localized flooding, and a few strong wind gusts.

The remnants of Arthur are over the southeast U.S. Lots of tropical moisture remains in place locally keeping heavy downpours possible. The rest of the Atlantic Basin is quiet.

Coverage of rain will be less today and Saturday, but the potential heavy downpours continues. Remember, some folks saw over 20 inches of rain Thursday. Storms today will still be capable of producing several inches of rain. Let's hope it doesn't fall in areas already hit hard.

[Dave Baker @DaveBakerTV]

Much of Acadiana didn't get the massive rain that was forecast, but much of the state did. Red over CenLa and SELA is over 15 inches of rain. The pinks in St. Landry and Avoyelles are over 20..and much of that fell on Thursday alone. Count your blessings. 5 day totals.

[Dave Baker @DaveBakerTV]

High humidity and hotter temperatures will combine to create dangerous heat index values. A Heat Advisory is in effect today, and likely will continue this weekend.

[Dave Baker @DaveBakerTV]

Very humid again with scattered showers and storms developing. Some heavy downpours can be expected again. High humidity will kick the heat index over 108 this weekend keeping a Heat Advisory in place.

Arthur has dissipated, but remnant moisture will still keep a flood threat over parts of the Gulf coast. The rest of the Atlantic basin is quiet, and we may be heading into a lull in the season for a few weeks.

Rainfall continues over Avoyelles Parish where a Flash Flood Emergency continues. Incredible rain this morning.

[Dave Baker @DaveBakerTV]

The heavy rain threat continues, but conditions will improve later this afternoon. The heat returns for Father's Day weekend. Click for more in your Storm Station Video Extra.

[Dave Baker @DaveBakerTV]

The Flood Watch continues. Some areas have seen over a foot of rain over the past 3 days. Any additional rainfall could cause flooding. Don't drive through high water!

[Dave Baker @DaveBakerTV]

Some locations could see several more inches of rain before conditions gradually improve. Once the rain moves out, dangerous heat quickly returns. Stay weather-aware today and never drive through flooded roads.
