Three arrested in St. John Parish drug bust

Heat Advisory returns plus an Extreme Heat Warning starts off the new week!
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – As if Sunday wasn't hot enough, gear up for a toasty start to the new week. Sunday's Heat Advisory ended at 8 p.m. leading to a brief 'cool down' through the overnight, But it'll warm up pretty fast early on come Monday eventually getting up to 96-degrees with mostly sunny skies and a few scattered showers in the forecast. Another Heat Advisory will be in effect for your Monday starting at 10 a.m. and running until 8 p.m. There will also be an Extreme Heat Warning in effect starting at 10 a.m. through 8 p.m. on Monday for the following areas: St. James, St. John The Baptist, St. Charles, St. Bernard, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Jefferson, and Plaquemines parishes in addition to Harrison, Hancock and Jackson counties. When you put the forecasted temperatures together with the expected 'very humid' conditions, we will surely have Heat Index values nearing or even surpassing the 110-mark. I may sound like a broken record at this point because I can't stress the importance of heat safety and the following simple tips: (a) stay hydrated, (b) limit your time outdoors especially during the peak hours of the day and (c) check-in on family and friends who don't particularly do well in the dangerous heat. With what's currently expected for Tuesday in terms of the temperature and level of humidity, there's a pretty good chance that we could see another Heat Advisory for that day as well. Then getting back to rain chances, Sunday night will be pretty quiet: Then giving an overview for the rest of the week in terms of showers and storms, we will see greater chances every day after Wednesday — and these are also the days where we could see some relief temperature wise too!Latest Posts New technology helping to crack down on illegal dumping in New Orleans WATCH: LSU HC Brian Kelly recaps Day 1 of fall camp Trump goes off on Josh Hawley over insider trading bill Democrats ramp up pressure on Trump, GOP over Epstein files with arcane gambit Man arrested in connection with fatal New Orleans hit-and-run Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
