Ponchatoula teens arrested in connection with animal cruelty video

LET’S TURN OUR ATTENTION BACK HERE AT HOME AND GET ANOTHER CHECK FOR YOU RIGHT NOW OF YOUR FIRST WARNING WEATHER FORECAST WITH METEOROLOGIST DEREK SIBLEY AND GOOD NEWS, IT’S ALMOST DINNER TIME, SO IF YOU’RE GOING OUT AND ABOUT MAYBE WALKING TO A RESTAURANT, DEREK SAYS THE RAIN IS SLOWING DOWN. NOW YOU GOT ME HUNGRY. I KNOW I FIGURED I WOULD. WELL, AT LEAST OUR DINNER BREAKS COMING RIGHT AFTER THE SHOW. SO. EXACTLY. BUT THE RAIN’S COMING TO A CLOSE, SO THAT’S GOOD. WE’RE WATCHING A COUPLE OF LIGHT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A COUPLE IN SOME SPOTS, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA IS LOOKING A LOT DRIER. WDSU FIRST WARNING DOPPLER WEATHER RADAR SHOWING SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS AND A COUPLE OF THUNDERSTORMS RIGHT NOW DOWN TOWARDS TERREBONNE, LAFOURCHE PARISH. STILL LOOKING AT SOME SCATTERED ACTIVITY THERE. HOUMA UP TOWARDS LOCKPORT AND SOUTH OF RACELAND IS WHERE WE’RE WATCHING SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS TAKE SHAPE AND STILL MOVING TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST. MEANWHILE, UP TOWARDS LAKE BORG, YOU CAN SEE SOME WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING A LITTLE BIT OF SOME LIGHTNING HERE OVER THE LAKE RIGHT NOW TOO. AND THAT ACTIVITY IS ALL MOVING AWAY TOWARDS THE EAST AND STRENGTHENING AT THE SAME TIME. UP ON THE NORTH SHORE, THINGS ARE VERY QUIET AND NO CONCERNS THERE. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE REGIONAL PICTURE ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH. LOTS OF MOISTURE, CLOUDY SKIES, SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS REALLY JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE HERE. UPPER LEVEL INFLUENCES ARE STILL PROVIDING THAT MOISTURE FOR US TO TAP INTO. IN THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. THANKS TO THAT BIG TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WE’VE BEEN DEALING WITH NOW FOR SEVERAL DAYS. BUT COMING UP IN A FEW MINUTES, I’M GOING TO TALK ABOUT HOW THAT PATTERN IS GOING TO CHANGE. LET’S GO A LITTLE BIT FURTHER EAST NOW IN THE TROPICS. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WE’RE WATCHING A BIT OF A AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER. AND THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO MOVE TOWARDS THE WEST, AND IT COULD DEVELOP HERE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. IN FACT, THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IS GIVING THIS ABOUT A 30% CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT AS IT CONTINUES MOVING TOWARDS THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE CARIBBEAN AND THE ANTILLES HERE. SO WE’LL WATCH OUT FOR THIS SYSTEM AS IT CONTINUES TO MAKE ITS WAY WEST A LITTLE BIT TOO EARLY TO TELL EXACTLY WHERE IT’S GOING TO GO AND HOW STRONG IT’S GOING TO BE HERE TO WDSU, WE’LL KEEP YOU UPDATED. TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW ARE INTO THE LOW TO MID 80S. 86 IN SLIDELL, 83 CURRENTLY IN LAKEFRONT ALSO 83 DEGREES RIGHT NOW BELLE CHASE. IT DOES FEEL LIKE LOW TO MID 90S. HOWEVER WHEN YOU FACTOR IN THAT RELATIVE HUMIDITY IT FEELS LIKE 95 ACTUALLY RIGHT NOW IN SLIDELL. SO SOME OF THOSE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS THAT WE’VE BEEN SEEING HERE SO FAR TODAY THAT WILL COME TO A CLOSE BY 11:00 TONIGHT. AND THEN WE’RE JUST LEFT OVER WITH A MAINLY CLOUDY NIGHT HERE IN STORE, A COUPLE OF SCATTERED SHOWERS THAT COULD DEVELOP ACROSS THE SOUTH SHORE, HEADING INTO EARLY TOMORROW MORNING AROUND 6:00 OR SO, AND THEN BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON AT 2:00, SOME SHOWERS AND STORMS TAKE SHAPE ALONG THE LAKEFRONT AND ALSO UP TOWARDS THE METRO AREA IN GENERAL, THAT ALL DISSIPATES AND WINDS DOWN AS WE HEAD TOWARDS TOMORROW NIGHT AROUND 11. SO LET’S GET TO THE UPPER LEVEL INFLUENCES HERE BECAUSE I WANT TO SHOW YOU THAT THERE ARE SOME BIGGER CHANGES, UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ACROSS THE REGION. PRETTY BROADLY. AND THAT’S GOING TO MEAN THAT WE’RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT SOME DRIER CONDITIONS LEADING TO LESS RAIN CHANCES. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, IT’S GOING TO BE PRETTY HOT. TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO GO UP HERE. YOU’LL SEE THAT HERE. NOW ON THE WDSU FIRST WARNING SEVEN DAY FORECAST AFTER I GET THROUGH THIS, ONE MORE GRAPHIC SHOWING THAT TONIGHT JUST LOOKING AT MOSTLY CLOUDY AVERAGE TEMPERATURES AND LIGHT WINDS FROM THE SOUTH AT AROUND 5 TO 10. ALL RIGHT. SO NOW YOUR WDSU FIRST WARNING SEVEN DAY FORECAST SHOWING HIGH TEMPERATURES INTO THE LOW 90S AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW AND AGAIN ON MONDAY, SOME SOLID RAIN CHANCES BETWEEN ABOUT 40 TO 50% WITH SOME PATCHY MORNING FOG ALSO POSSIBLE TOMORROW. MONDAY, MAYBE AGAIN, LASTING INTO TUESDAY. BUT THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS YOU CAN SEE THOSE RAIN CHANCES COMING TO, OR AT LEAST WINDING DOWN STARTING WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY WITH HI
