IT WAS A QUITE CLOUDY AND COOL DAY IN SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA AND PROBABLY WILL BE A BIT SIMILAR TOMORROW, BUT THE FACT IS IT WILL BE A LOT WARMER. Although the skies are still cloudy in southeast Louisiana. Here’s a look at the big picture for you, and you can see the high pressure just to our east. With this low pressure area that we are also observing in the west. IN ADVANCE. That’s why the conditions here were so cloudy today. HERE YOU CAN SEE A FEW Isolated showers and a few embedded thunderstorms associated with this storm system, which will continue to grow stronger as we move further into tomorrow night and into early Monday. In fact, what we’re seeing here is some of the outer fringes of this system trying to sneak into the area. But it looks like they won’t make it to southeast Louisiana. But all I see is that the weather out here is cloudy. Regardless, here are the final numbers on our temperatures today in New Orleans, a high of 55 degrees. SO WELL BELOW THE AVERAGE OF 66. THIS MORNING’S LOW WAS 44. Pretty cool because our average for this time of year was 50 degrees. Overall, the coolness here remains. BUT IT WILL WARM UP AS WE START THE DAY TOMORROW. THE CURRENT TEMPERATURES HERE ON THE NORTH COAST. UPPER 40S. LOWER 50S. We’re mostly seeing the low to mid 50s. IF LOCATED ON THE SOUTH COAST THE UPPER 50S TO VERY CLOSE TO THE LOWER 60S TOWARD THE COAST. BUT OVERALL, YOU KNOW, IT’S BETWEEN FIVE TO ALMOST TEN DEGREES HERE. A warmer difference compared to what we had here. JUST AT THIS TIME YESTERDAY. However, the wind here is fairly light, usually around five miles per hour. FORECAST AS WE RISE TONIGHT. Mostly cloudy skies, dry and fairly seasonable with our temperatures reaching the low to mid 40s for this time of year. NORTH COAST AND PREMIUM LOW TO MID 50S HERE FOR YOU ON THE SOUTH COAST. LET’S TALK ABOUT THE FORECAST FOR THE REST OF THE DAY TOMORROW. This will call for more cloudy weather. MAYBE ONE OR TWO SHOWERS EARLY POSSIBLE. SOME OF THE THICKER CLOUDS BUT ALONE SEASONAL TEMPERATURES WITH HIGHS RISING INTO THE LOW 70’S ACROSS SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA. ACTUALLY SOMETHING ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. And Monday and Tuesday also look pretty warm here. BEFORE THE NEXT COLD FRONT MOVES IN AND SUPPORTS OUR HIGH IN THE 50S FROM WEDNESDAY. This will last at least until Thursday and then the next warm-up will come here with highs into the 60s. UNTIL FRIDAY. This continues until Saturday. HERE TOO. HERE YOU CAN SEE THE CLOUDY WEATHER. SLIM CHANCE OF A SHOWERS. CANNOT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT IF WE RISE TONIGHT, BUT OTHERWISE IT WILL STAY CLOUDY WITH THE NEXT SYSTEM HERE. COMES FROM THE WEST. SOME showers and a few thunderstorms. Stay well to our north and that should be the case here as we head out on Sunday. BUT YOU WILL SEE HERE FROM LATE SUNDAY EVENING TO EARLY MONDAY MORNING. Then we’re starting to notice some of the rain here shifting to southeast Louisiana, including New Orleans here in the metro. A LOT OF IT REMAINS HERE ON THE SOUTH COAST. As you will note, some locally heavy rainfall cannot be completely ruled out on Monday afternoon. WE WILL SEE SOME IMPROVEMENTS BY MONDAY EVENING, FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER ROUND THAT POSSIBLY STARTS HERE AS WE GO INTO MONDAY EVENING, AND THEN FACE THE NEXT COLD FRONT. Showers and thunderstorms could occur again around Tuesday afternoon, and behind this front the temperatures will become significantly colder. There is a slight risk of Level 2 flooding here associated with this next event. THE GOOD NEWS HERE: WHILE THE CHANCE OF RAIN IS EXISTING ABOUT MIDDLE WEEK, THEY WILL BE 1 TO 3 IN, HIGHER TOTALS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE LOCALLY WITH THIS SYSTEM.
