The frontal trough that enhanced our rains late yesterday evening and again this afternoon will keep enhancing our rain chances this weekend. The trough will likely dissipate across Southern Louisiana this weekend while keeping the highest chances of getting wet across the coastal parishes tomorrow. Whatever is left of this trough will move back northward Sunday with scattered storms associated with an enhanced sea breeze possible for Sunday and 
Monday. Typical late summer temperatures and scattered mainly afternoon storms will stay with us through much of next week…no real fronts on the horizonL.
The disturbance near the Eastern Caribbean was flown by Hurricane Hunters this afternoon and based on their data this system was upgraded to Tropical Depression #6. TD6 will likely become Tropical Storm Felix this weekend as it continues to move on almost a westerly track. High pressure should be strong enough over the southeast U.S. to keep this system on a track similar to or south of Hurricane Dean’s path. We’ll be watching this system closely, so check on us during our newscasts this weekend for the latest. Have a happy and safe holiday weekend!
