SUMMARY: On Monday, March 17th, temperatures start cold in the lower 40s, dropping to the upper 30s in some areas. However, bright sunny conditions will lead to a warm-up into the mid-70s by afternoon. Calm winds will shift as high pressure moves southeast, increasing to 5-10 mph later today and 15-20 mph by Tuesday. Expect milder evening lows around 50°F. Cloud cover and possible light showers may develop by Wednesday with a frontal boundary approaching. Temperatures will drop to the 60s later in the week but rebound to near 80°F by next weekend. Enjoy today’s pleasant weather!

High pressure has settled in helping to keep conditions clear and pleasant to kick off this Monday. An upper level low will track across Kansas helping to build a pressure gradient between the high pressure near the gulf coast. This will help to increase winds through tomorrow becoming breezy. A frontal system will arrive on Wednesday sparking up some clouds and a few patchy showers. A t-storm will be possible as well. Then we cool down late week to the lower 60’s for highs with mostly clear conditions. Our next best chance of rain and thunderstorms will come late weekend next Sunday with warming temperatures near lower 80’s.

SUMMARY: Be prepared for severe storms later today, especially in San Antonio. Rain chances are low until after lunch but will rise by early afternoon with storms forming in the Hill Country. By late afternoon and evening, there’s about a 70% chance of rain, continuing through midnight. The storms are driven by fronts from the north, ample moisture, and upper-level energy, leading to potential strong to severe storms with gusty winds, hail, and localized flooding. Tornado risk is low but present. Tomorrow will be cooler with lingering clouds, dry conditions, and temperatures around 79°F. More storms are possible next week.

The best odds for rain will be between 7 and 10pm.

SUMMARY: Hannah Landon was found guilty of first-degree murder and two counts of obstruction of justice for the death of 6-year-old Bella Fontenelle. Bella’s body was discovered in a bucket outside her mother’s home two years ago. The jury deliberated for less than an hour before reaching the verdict. During the trial, defense arguments questioned Landon’s mental state at the time of the crime, while a state psychologist testified she knew right from wrong. The judge decided not to pursue the death penalty, and Landon faces life in prison with no parole. Sentencing is scheduled for May 7th.

Sentencing is set for Tuesday, May 6, at 9 a.m.

SUMMARY: A jury convicted Landon, the girlfriend of a six-year-old girl’s father, of first-degree murder after the child’s death. The girl, Bella Fontanel, was strangled, placed in a bucket, and left on her mother’s lawn. Despite an insanity plea, the jury found Landon guilty on all counts after less than an hour of deliberation, sentencing her to mandatory life without parole. Prosecutors described Landon as calculated and bitter, motivated by tensions with Bella’s father. Emotional testimonies and evidence showed premeditation. Landon remained silent during the trial. Sentencing is scheduled in five days in Jefferson Parish.
