BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - It stays hot, but at least temperatures will be trending closer to normal for a few days.

First Alert Forecast - Tuesday, July 9(WAFB)

As Beryl’s remnants continue to spin to our north, it will set up a scenario where drier/less humid air will move into South Louisiana and Southwest Mississippi. This will yield mainly dry rain chances (20-30%) and a slight reduction in humidity. Bottom line is we get rid of Heat Advisories for a few days.

Don’t get too excited. Southerly flow returns late Thursday.

Humidity levels will be on the increase as we end the week allowing for feels like temperatures to climb well into the triple digits. Heat Advisories possibly return by the weekend.

Rain chances will return to summer weather pattern norms (30-50%) daily. Daytime highs will continue to inch up day by day from the end of this week into next week.

The tropics could see a lull for a week or two. Sea surface temperatures and wind shear in the Atlantic Basin will remain conducive for development, but activity in the Eastern Pacific Basin could cause oscillations into the Atlantic Basin inhibiting tropical waves from creating low level spin (vorticity). Once Pacific action begins to wane, we expect Atlantic activity to increase. That could start in a couple of weeks.
