Meteorologist Carrigan Chauvin visits Hynes-Parkview Charter School
She went over light hearted topics, such as cloud types, but also dove into a more serious conversation about severe weather. Students talked about the popular movie 'Twister' and the recent snow storm in Louisiana. Carrigan also talked about her close connection to southeast Louisiana and why it is so special for her to be working here now.
Carrigan was impressed by how smart this group was! She was asked some really good questions. Some questions made her really think hard… others got her emotional… and some reconnected her to the reasons why she chose this career in the first place. Kids are good at this. Making you think outside of your day to day box. Somehow – perspectives just become simpler, and more hopeful.
A few questions that Meteorologist Carrigan Chauvin remembers from the class are:
'How do YOU stay safe in a storm when you are out live in the elements?'
'Why do tornadoes happen?'
And her personal favorite question…Even though Carrigan knows that every student in that class isn't going to become a meteorologist like her one day. She hopes that from their conversation… they take away the courage to follow their dreams, whatever that may be, and not be afraid of failure.

Rain dissapears and heat lingers, but big heat relief showing up in a week
Another day of feast or famine, with some lucky locations receiving rainfall. With the good comes some bad, though, with stronger storms producing strong winds and frequent lightning. The rainfall was welcome, though, especially as we enter another long dry stretch. Today's round of showers and thunderstorms will continue into this evening before fading by midnight. A pocket of dry, stable air over Southwest Missouri will tend to keep rain out of much of Southwest Missouri. In the wake of tonight's cool front, we'll find an easing of the heat with afternoon highs in the upper 80s and low 90s. The overnights are where you may notice a real increase in comfort with low humidity air, opening the door to lows in the low to mid 60s. Another dry stretch gets started as well, with no rain expected through Friday. Download our KOLR 10 weather app They're may be a little bump in rain chances Saturday, though, mainly closer to Central Missouri as the next cool front arrives. The weekend cool front will deliver real heat relief with the coolest weather since at least the beginning of the month. We can look forward to a long stretch of highs below 90° and maybe even a day in there with highs below 80°. Cool overnight temperatures are also on the table, with some mornings dipping below 60°. Stingy rain chances will come with the front Saturday, but it may lay the foundation for better rain chances next week as it stalls to the south. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Get into the upcoming midweek rain, Twin Tiers. But, sunshine starts the weekend.
ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM) – The clouds will be the main feature through most of the night. However, there is rain coming our way that will linger into Thursday. We will wake up to clouds and steady rainfall Wednesday morning. A stationary boundary is on the way that will hold the clouds in place for almost a day before departing. This rain is not great timing for our weekend Great New York State Fair activities. If you are on the midway, make sure to carry your rain gear. There may be a few breaks in the clouds, but right now they look to be few and far between. The stationary boundary goes east carrying clouds with it, followed by a round of cooler high pressure that drop the temperatures. Thanks to that high, we add more warmth before the next round of showers comes into the Twin Tiers to start the weekend. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
