Tracking rain and potential tropical development in the Gulf of Mexico
SUMMARY: The weather forecast reports steady light to moderate rain affecting New Orleans, with heavier pockets in areas like Chalmette and Saint Bernard Parish, while the North Shore remains mostly dry. Rain is expected to taper off after sunset, with a brief break before more precipitation arrives tomorrow morning. There are indications of a tropical system developing in the Gulf, but no immediate impact is expected. Weekend weather looks promising for events like Gretna Fest, with rain chances diminishing. Overall, expect some lingering showers Friday evening, but nicer conditions for Saturday and Sunday.
Meteorologist Devon Lucie is tracking showers moving into Southeast Louisiana timing when will arrive where you are, how long it will last, how it could affect weekend plans, and how much you’ll get, then gets us a look at the tropics where two storms spin in the Atlantic, then takes a finer look at the Gulf of Mexico where there’s still tropical potential and walks us through when and where a weak system could form and how that will impact our weather. Then finally takes us to our high resolution forecast stepping us through the rain chances, impact on temperatures, weekend events, and finishes with a seven day forecast tying it all together.

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.
