SUMMARY: Meteorologist Chase Ward reports a quiet weather start, with persistent cloud cover due to the remnants of post-tropical Cyclone Francine, lingering over Northern Arkansas. No rainfall is expected, but moisture remains in the air. Temperatures are in the mid-60s, with a slight warm-up anticipated in the afternoon, reaching the mid-80s in some areas. However, regions like Greenville and Camden may stay in the mid-70s due to cloud cover. Limited rain chances continue into the weekend, with skies clearing slightly by Monday. A developing tropical depression in the Atlantic may not significantly strengthen. Enjoy pleasant football weather tonight, with mid-70s expected.

Clouds will linger this morning as the remnants of Francine hovers just to our north. Drier air will mix in for areas south of I-20 to see clouds break apart and a chance to see some sunshine. This will also warm temperatures up this afternoon to the mid 80’s. Other places in like in south Arkansas may stay cloudy thanks to post tropical cyclone Francine. Francine and another disturbance out west will contribute to minor rain chances this weekend. Most of any showers will stay spotty and isolated through Sunday and Monday. Clouds will also linger before clearing out by the middle of next week as we begin a warming trend that could reach back to the lower 90’s by next Friday.

SUMMARY: Kenner Police are warning residents about a new scam targeting Hurricane Francine victims, involving contractor fraud. They have received reports and provided tips online to help prevent such scams. Key recommendations include obtaining the contractor’s name, business address, and license number before hiring. It’s crucial to verify their credentials with the state‘s licensing board, require proof of active insurance, and have a written contract signed by both parties. Additionally, consumers should avoid making large upfront payments and never pay for work that hasn’t been completed.

SUMMARY: This week, San Antonio is experiencing extreme heat, reaching 96°F, making it one of the hottest locations in the U.S. The high humidity exacerbates the heat, and a ridge of high pressure will persist. A low-pressure system from the Four Corners may slightly shift the heat by Sunday, leading to a minor temperature drop. However, temperatures will still be in the upper 90s with heat index values surpassing 100°F by Sunday, coinciding with the Equinox at 7:44 AM. While there may be a slight change in temperature, significant relief from the heat is not expected.
