Tracking new data on changes to the tropical forecast
SUMMARY: Heat warnings persist as more impact days are anticipated. A tropical wave currently over the Lesser Antilles is moving toward Puerto Rico, bringing increased shower and storm activity. The system remains broad but is gradually overcoming surrounding dry air and Saharan dust. Two main forecasts suggest different potential paths: one predicts a southern route through Cuba and into the Eastern Gulf, while the other shows a trajectory toward northern Florida. Both forecasts highlight the significance of the Bermuda High’s placement. Current predictions indicate low probabilities for direct impacts, with the situation still evolving.
Meteorologist Devon Lucie steps us through the latest on the potential of a tropical system forming over the weekend or into next week, and the changes to the possible track that could mean a small chance the Louisiana might find some indirect impacts from this system.

First Gordon Plaza house to be demolished to build a community solar farm
SUMMARY: Demolition crews are set to begin work at Gordon Plaza, where the first home will be knocked down to create a solar energy farm. The site, which was once the Agriculture Street landfill, has faced significant controversy since its 1981 development due to toxic sludge containing lead and other carcinogens contaminating homes. Homeowners previously received millions in buyouts. The demolition marks the start of a two-year process to design and construct the facility, allowing residents to purchase access to the solar farm at a low cost, ultimately providing discounts on their electricity bills.
Officials say the process to design and build the facility could take about two years
