One poor pup in houston is finally being helped after waiting patient will it a his owners door for more than two weeks. What that loyal dog didnt know is that his owner was killed on job and will never be coming home. Its not so easy trusting again. Sometimes you have to take small steps. You have to go slow and you trust. Laurie or in this kates took lots of time. As you jerrel shepherd he didnt stand a chance. Laurie for more than two weeks this dog has been roaming around this apartment complex in houston. You couldell that he was a lost dog. Laurie residents a him at the front gates stopping cars he would follow the cars, and then when he would realize that maybe its not his owners car, he would just stand there and look helpless. Laurie many times he was seen at this apartment door, patiently waiting, hoping his owner would come back. Unable to understand why he wouldnt. Of course, hes confused because he dentists doesnt know whats going on. He hadnt seen his owner in two weeks.

Will like the way you think, laurie jennings. This is a look at miami, and depending on where you are, you are catching a few peoples but we do have a lot of clouds including that you cloud hanging over the mia and at tiues we have had a little bit of rainfall. The rain hasnt been everywhere but deamening up the payment of, and in just a few neighborhoods. 15 miles an hour. I know you all feel that warm breeze. The thermometer is definitely reflecting that its warm out. 79 the current temperature in Fort Lauderdale and miami, pompano beach, Pembroke Pines all sitting at 77. Its going to be a warm avening as the breeze stays up. Those winds blowing in the from south. Well have those clouds in the mix and we wont rule out a stray shower. Right now what were seeing the on Doppler Radar a lot of that streaking across broward, false returns. But nestledn some of this the occasional shower. There may be a raindrop or two nestled between say little haiti d over toward miami beach but it looks like most areas enjoying dry wther for now. These showers working in from the south and lifting up toward the northnortheast. Key west dry at this moment but it does appear that we have some rain on the door steps of the lower k ks as those lift over that stretch of the overseas highway. So the bottomm line for the evening, we wont rule out a passing shower, but t rain wont be all over the place tonight. The story is much, much, much more interesting across the Lower Mississippi river valley. This is where a low pressure system is really churning things up. Weather, and the potential for tornadoes for louisiana, parts of mississippi, and that tornado threat stretching over toward the panhandle of florida. Well track this system as it head east tomorrow, and as it gets closer to us, we have to start thinking about the potential for some showers or Severe Weather coming into our area. Right now it louk the great 30 for Severe Weather may be north of us but even over south florida were not going to rule out damaging winds or maybe an isolated tornado coming through. This forecast model showing the balance of the day is going to be quiet, butut as were near tech afternoon, say 5 00, there may be a line of showers or gusty storms entering the west part of the peninsula, crossing our area between 7 00 an 8 00. It pushes out, we start to clear out, dry out and cool down as well. Well be here tracking any storms that develop late in the day.
