This marks the only murder in the city since the beginning of the month, a rare occurrence reminiscent of hurricane-related lulls. Despite its historical reputation for high crime, New Orleans has experienced a significant drop in homicides, with 52 reported so far in 2023, compared to 194 in 2022. Overall, the city’s homicide rate remains high, but nationwide crime, including serious offenses, has decreased by 3% from 2022 to 2023, according to the FBI.

Hurricane Likely in the Gulf This Week
SUMMARY: Meteorologist P. Malone from WWL Louisiana reports on a potential tropical cyclone likely to strengthen into a hurricane in the Gulf. Expected to rapidly intensify, it could reach category 2 or 3 by Wednesday, with some models predicting category 4 before making landfall in Florida on Thursday. The projected path extends from Panama City to Tampa, prompting widespread preparation for a major hurricane. The system is turning north due to a weakening ridge and an approaching low-pressure trough. For updates, users can download the WWL app or stream on WWL Plus.
A developing storm will enter the Gulf of Mexico this week and likely head towards Florida. Meteorologist Payton Malone says concerns for Louisiana are low, but we’re keeping an eye on it.

Some relief is on the way, it'll just take a few days to get here
SUMMARY: Good Monday morning! Meteorologist Justin Horn forecasts a hot day with temperatures around 94ยฐF, along with some showers and storms due to a nearby frontal boundary, particularly in the Hill Country. Expect a 30% chance of rain tomorrow, with drier air arriving by Wednesday morning that will clear and dry things out by the end of the week.
