Meteorologist Jim Syoen shows the difference WDSU's exclusive local radar makes in yesterday's forecast. WDSU is the only local station with its own radar so you will get a detailed look at storms from farther away, which means you'll get earlier warnings. Whenever storms threaten Southeast Louisiana turn to WDSU First Warning Weather.
