This is a potential incident of human trafficking. Well, let's switch gears and check out the first weather alert. Boy, I hope you're home in bed and asleep around 3 or 4 a.m. Yes, when I was walking across the WDSU parking lot and saying walking, but I was actually running. It was raining hard this morning. I hear it's finally landing in the buckets. Oh, I bet you did. Oh yes. Pounding on the window. I was like, wow, I'm sure it definitely woke up a lot of people. Lightning and thunder are with him too. I haven't heard rain in a while, so I hope that's a good sign. Derek. Yes. As you know, most of the heavy rains and storms have moved toward the east. Morgan, this is good news for us. We're looking straight out from the camera at the Island View Casino in Gulfport, Mississippi, to show that we're looking at a cloudy area, mainly just some light drizzle falling here around town. This is what's happening right now on the WDSU radar for the first warning, you can see we're looking at some of those heavy rain showers, especially the location towards the south and west here in the city. In fact, we can highlight some of these things here a little bit. And you can see mainly west of New Orleans where we're seeing rain and storms south of the airport right now. We're also looking at showers and a thunderstorm near Lafitte and north of the Cut. This is all moving to the east while most of the severe thunderstorms that we dealt with last night, you can see them positioned well across the eastern Gulf of Mexico now and up to the North Shore. You can see we're dealing with some wet weather here. Here's some light rain near Folsom St. Benedict and on the North Shore. Big brands are looking forward to some of those heavy rains currently moving into your area. Good. So let's go to the second weather here. We'll show you some of the other graphics we have here in the store. I want to show you some of the rainfall reports that are still coming in from Navy, captured at over an inch and a half over an inch here at the lakefront and at Armstrong Airport, over an inch of rain here as well. What happens is we have these fixed front borders in place that cause a lot of moisture here in the shop. I think the rest of the day looks mainly cloudy. Maybe a little chance of a shower or two, but that's about it. Heading to tomorrow morning. Rain and storms begin to develop again off that stationary frontal boundary. Maybe it doesn't look as humid as we head into the afternoon. Maybe a little chance, but that's about it here. We also take you to Sunday. Just mainly cloudy. A couple of showers and storms could develop here on the west side as we head into Sunday afternoon before dissipating here as we head into early Monday. But there is still more wet weather to come. We're actually going to be stuck in this wet pattern. It appears that as we head into next week, this stationary frontal boundary will be hanging across the northern Gulf Coast. We take you into early next week. It is now expected to dissipate as it moves north. Still looking for abundant moisture although some heavy rain is still possible. Heading to Tuesday. Then again as we head into Wednesday. Maybe not as wet and heavy as we head into Wednesday afternoon. As some models indicate, though, we have another firm frontal boundary, and that means warm moisture for us to work with as we head into late next week. As much as we can handle it, we probably think more about flood risks than extreme weather. We are at marginal risk here due to flooding. Rainfall on Monday and then again until Tuesday. That's because we'll be looking at rainfall totals anywhere near the 1 to 3 inch mark through Thursday. So we'll keep you updated here on WDSU. Here's a look at your seven-day forecast. High temperatures in the 70s are here for a while. Good rain chances with some good fog chances. In fact, we're getting those reports now from Lakefront Airport. There's something else foggy here from Saturday into Monday
