Morning Forecast – Tuesday, Oct. 1st
SUMMARY: Meteorologist Chase Ward discusses current weather patterns, noting scattered light showers moving south from Columbia. While some areas may briefly need an umbrella, the precipitation is expected to fade as dry air moves in from the north. Afternoon temperatures will rise into the mid-upper 80s, with a cold front expected to bring cooler, drier air tonight. A tropical disturbance in the Gulf has a 40% chance of developing, with the potential for increased rain late in the week. Overall, the weekend looks pleasant with sunshine and temperatures trending towards seasonable averages in the lower 80s.
An upper level low pressure ahead of a cold front has allowed for some patchy showers to develop this morning. Clouds will linger through the afternoon as we climb to the upper 80’s for daytime highs. Skies will clear overnight with some slightly cooler temperatures after the cold front passes. We will rebound back to the upper 80’s by Friday as a tropical disturbance enters the Gulf of Mexico. Still some uncertainty as far as its development is concerned, but it will aid in showers and thunderstorms across the gulf coast.

Report: LDH pulling back on vaccine push
SUMMARY: Anonymous employees from the Louisiana Health Department claim that leadership has instructed them not to promote COVID-19 and flu vaccines anymore. A report from NPR cites four employees who were told to cease social media posts, vaccine events, and press releases about vaccination encouragement due to a re-evaluation of messaging as the pandemic evolves. The health department did not confirm specifics but acknowledged the change in approach. Experts warn that this shift may lead to decreased vaccination rates during a time when Louisiana is experiencing high flu cases, potentially increasing illness and mortality rates. Vaccines remain available and free through various local channels.
Anonymous employees say the state health department is pulling back on telling people to get vaccinated. That’s according to a report published by NPR on Friday.
