Storms linger into this evening, a much drier Sunday ahead

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - After repeated storms throughout the day, they will eventually wane overnight. Many of the storms that still linger through this evening could carry heavy rain with a low-end threat to become severe. Lows tonight will linger around the mid 60s to around the 70 degree range.

Mostly sunny on Sunday with a small chance for a pop-up shower or thunderstorm. Highs will return to the upper 80s with light southeasterly winds. Even though we won’t see as much of a rain chance on Sunday, if you’re headed to Jazz Fest, wear shoes you don’t mind getting muddy since the previous day’s rainfall will leave a wet mess.

We’ll keep a summer-like pattern into the next week as we’ll see daily chances for showers and thunderstorms. Highs will warm to the upper 80s and lower 90s which would mean near-record heat.
