It will be breezy and cold through the day with temperatures struggling to make it into the 50s for Friday afternoon. We should see a bit of sun before the end of the day.
Cold conditions again into the night with a light freeze north.Thursday will be nice as well after a cold start afternoon highs bounce back into the upper 50s. We will see a few more clouds as well as our next weather system approaches.
Consistently cool will be the weather story as we get set to enter a new work week but first up, how about we talk about this gorgeous Sunday on the way?
Temperatures will once again plummet into the middle 20s threatening pipes in areas north and west of Lake Pontchartrain. Areas south and east of the lake should stay in a light freeze.
Some areas see a light glazing of ice as more cold air continues to settle in across the region especially on bridges and overpasses. It will be a frigid day with temperatures in the 30s into the afternoon, but by late morning the entire area should be consistently above freezing. Hard freeze warnings go into effect overnight into Saturday morning for areas north of Lake Pontchartrain and west into the River Parishes.
By late morning much of the rain will be moving off shore as winds become northerly and pushes in frigid arctic air. Temperatures will fall through the day with afternoon temperatures only in the 40s. Expect very cold conditions overnight, but there is more activity on the way.
What a drop in temperatures we have in store in weather over the next 24 hours as an Arctic cold front swings out of Canada and heads down to the Gulf Coast.
Winter has made its presence felt across the Deep South as a winter storm currently drops snow, sleet and freezing rain to our north and brings us quite the chill.
Saturday temperatures will be a bit warmer ahead of the front as well in the low to mid-70s. Temperatures drop dramatically late Saturday into Sunday behind the front. Look for highs to struggle and stay mostly in the 40s through the day with a strong northwest wind making it feel even colder.
For January, this weather isn’t all that bad as cool conditions continue to dominate the forecast and it will actually get better to round out the work week.
A strong front will push through during the overnight dropping morning lows into the upper 40s. After highs will only be in the 50s with a strong wind behind the front.
A warm front pushes across the region taking temperatures back up near 70 on Saturday and upper 70s ahead of our next cold front on Sunday. Some storms will develop Saturday.
Behind the front winds turn northwest and cold air begins to stream into the region. Temperatures will fall through the 60s and 50s through the evening. Friday will be a very chilly day with early morning temperatures in the 30s north near 40 south.
Thursday look for another big change with a cold front late in the afternoon. The day starts off on a warm note with temperatures jumping into the low 70s early. Take along a jacket though as there will be another quick drop in temperatures late in the day. There won’t be much in the way of rain as we’ve seen little moisture return ahead of the front.
