Weather looks good for the Tulane/LSU game Saturday evening in Baton Rouge. Tailgating weather in the 70s, kickoff in the mid 60s, and in the upper 50s by 4th quarter. ...Nothing to be scared of weather-wise today...we have wonderful weather! Sunshine will help warm us to the lower 70s today, and no rain is expected. Tonight, as the sun sets, temps will fall into the 60s for trick-or-treaters. If your Halloween plans take you late into the night, bring along a sweater or jacket, as overnight temps will fall into the 50s and 40s (Northshore)
Mild weather will continue for weekend. Don't forget to check the batteries in your smoke detectors and set your clocks back 1 hour Saturday night/Sunday morning. ...After a chilly morning, temps will warm up to the upper 60s/lower 70s today. High pressure is still controlling our weather, so that means very few clouds and no rain. Halloween is looking delightfully mild with no spooky weather to speak of. Trick or treaters will enjoy temperatures falling into the 60s, and no rain. Hope you get more treats than tricks! ...
40s & 50s Friday morning with highs in the mid 70s. Mild 60s for Halloween evening and not that much humidity yet. ...Another chilly October morning! Overnight lows hit the freezing mark in spots on the Northshore, and we were even pretty cold south of the lake. The warm up will begin tomorrow: one more morning of patchy frost on the Northshore, and then 70s for highs Thursday through the weekend. Lows around the area this morning: Kenner: 44 After the coldest morning we've seen since last spring with lows at 33 in Slidell and 48 at Armstrong International Airport accompanied by frost in spots on the Northshore, we're set do it all over again tonight and then again on Wednesday night. After highs in the 60's and sunshine today, temperatures may even be a bit cooler tonight with calmer winds. Overnight lows will likely reach the low and mid 30's on the Northshore and mid 40's on t... Brrrrr....some very chilly air has taken over Louisiana this morning! You are waking up to 30s on the Northshore, and 40s on the Southshore. Dig in the back of your closet and find those heavier jackets for this morning! Dress in layers though, since by the afternoon we'll see widespread 60s. With high pressure in place, and dry air through the deep south, don't expect rain today, or for that matter many clouds! Sunshine will rule today throug...
Frost may be a problem Wednesday morning north of the lake. ...A front is moving through Louisiana this morning, and behind it winds are increasing, and temperatures are decreasing. In fact, it is going to be the coolest day we've seen around this Fall season! Highs today will only be in the 60s, and lows tonight will be in the 30s and 40s! Pull out the heavier jackets, you'll need them tomorrow! ...After a gorgeous weekend, another cold front will be moving through the area... bringing windy and cool conditions to the forecast area on Monday. Temperatures will rebound to afternoon highs by Friday. ...
Another shot of cooler and drier air will be coming through on Monday with another front. This one will be dry, but it will just keep the beautiful weather through next week. ...
A great weekend will follow with lows in the 40s & 50s and highs in the 70s. Another shot of drier and cooler air will come on Monday bring windy conditions. ...A cold front moving slowly pushing through Louisiana is producing rain and thunderstorms out ahead of it. Some heavy downpours near Terrebonne Bay will continue to move toward the northwest this morning, some moving through the New Orleans metro area. We will continue to see rain throughout the day as the front moves through Southeast Lousiana. Behind the front, winds shift to the North, bringing cooler and drier air into the forecast ...
Highs in the mid 70s on Thursday then low 70s on Friday. It will also remain breezy through Friday. ...With winds switching to off the Gulf, dew points are on the rise this morning. We already have dew points in the low and mid 60's, and they will continue to rise this afternoon. Higher dew points means extra moisture in the air, equating to a better chance of rain, accompanied by a more uncomfortable feel. As the day wears on today, it will continue to feel a bit more summery with isolated showers and thunderstorms making the move onshore. ...
An area of disturbed weather will be watched in the western Caribbean Sea for possible development. If any development would occur movement will be towards the eastern Gulf of Mexico. ...As a cold front approaches from the west, we'll see our comfortable dew points give way to more muggy readings back in the 60's Wednesday and THursday. With more moisture to work with, we'll also see an increase in not only clouds but also in showers and thunderstorms somewhat on Wednesday, but most markedly on Thursday. The front will pass sometime late Thursday into Friday, putting an end to any rain and providing a return to sunshine pair...
The humidity will increase slightly on Wednesday with a slight chance for rain and a larger chance for rain on Thursday at 60%. ...Some of the chilliest weather since last Spring has arrived across southeastern Louisiana. With a low of 55 at Louis Armstrong Int'l and temperatures well into the 40's on the Northshore this morning, this is the coolest air we've seen since the end of last April! Yet another crisp night is on the way tonight before overnight temperatures moderate for midweek. ...Expect clear skies and cooler than average conditions across the forecast area through Sunday. Overnight temperatures will be in the 40s on the northshore... jacket weather may be required. For the LSU game in Columbia, South Carolina, temperatures will be 70 degrees at kickoff, cooling off to the mid 60s. Enjoy the fall weather! ...

It will be mild for Saturday and Sunday afternoons...in the mid 70s. Enjoy this wonderful Fall weekend! ...
The weekend will be breezy, dry, low humidity, and filled with plenty of sunshine. Lows will be in the 50s and 60s and highs in the 70s. ...The last advisory for TD 16 was issued last night, so that system is weakening today and tomorrow. Hurricane Omar has left the Caribbean Ocean, and is moving into the Atlantic. It is a strong Cat 3 storm, with winds of 125mph. The good news is that it will now leave any land areas behind, while gradually weakening over the Atlantic. Meanwhile, back in Louisiana, we're still awaiting a cold front. Ahead of the front, we'll see ...
The weekend looks great with low humidity and plenty of sunshine. Hurricane Omar will threaten the Virgin Islands overnight. TD 16 moved inland in Honduras and never reached hurricane strength. ...Omar is now an 85mph hurricane, as of the 10pm advisory last night. Omar's movement has been a bit erratic over the last 24 hours, and it is drifting around in the Eastern Caribbean. The storm is expect to pick up speed as it heads to the Northeast, possibly bypassing Puerto Rico, but bring heavy squalls to the Virgin Islands. Over the next day or two, Omar will be entering the Atlantic, and moving away from land. T.D. 16 is still hug...
Tropics active in the Caribbean Sea. See our tropical page for more information. ...Wow, the tropics are rockin' and rollin' this week! We now have Tropical Storm Omar (formerly T.D. 15) in the Eastern Caribbean, and T.D. 16 in the Western Caribbean (near Honduras) Omar is still forecast to drift over Puerto Rico, and then head into the Atlantic Ocean, possibly becoming a hurricane in the next few days. Omar does not look to be a threat to the U.S. T.D. 16 is hugging the Honduran coastline, and will be moving... Nana is rapidly losing steam this morning, and the NHC has issued their last advisory on Nana as it is expected to become a remnant low in the next 24 hours. TD 15 is still in the Eastern Caribbean, and is drifting towards the Northeast. Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands will see a day or two of heavy rain, before the storm will head Northeast into the Atlantic.This storm is expected to become "Omar" as first a tropical storm, and the... In the both the Atlantic and Caribbean, tropical depressions remain. T.D. Nana will likely be seeing its demise over the next 24 hours with a conversion to a remnant low.

The depression is forecast to start picking up a motion to the NE, perh... TD #15 still remains a stationary 35 mph tropical depression in the central Caribbean as of the 8 PM intermediate advisory. It is expected to gradually strengthen and take on a NE motion toward Puerto Rico, perhaps affecting the island midweek as either a tropical storm or a low-end hurricane. Nearly all model guidance then takes the storm out into the open Atlantic Ocean. ...With winds out of the east continuing over the next few days, we'll continue on the warm and muggy side with a few passing showers. As the winds out of the east slacken, showers should become more sparse Wednesday and Thursday. Showers and storms will return with a cold front on Friday, leaving us drier and seasonable for the weekend. With the winds persistently out of the east a Coastal Flood Watch has been hoisted for the coastline... We are tracking two tropical depressions this morning...Nana, which was formerly a tropical storm, and TD 15, a newly formed depression in the Caribbean. Nana is far out in the Atlantic Ocean and is expected to dissipate over the next 24-36 hours. Nana is no threat to land. TD 15 is in the Eastern Caribbean Sea, and is expected to intensify into our 15th named storm, Omar. Models on TD 15 send it over Puerto Rico, and then to t... A Coastal Flood Watch has been posted for Lake Ponchartrain and the eastern facing shores of the Gulf of Mexico. Persistent easterly winds will be ranging from 20-25 Kts. Tides may be running 2-3' above normal through Thursday. ...Isolated showers may pop up across the area this afternoon, as the moisture content near the surface continues to pile up. With the extra cloud cover, afternoon highs may not be nearly as warm as Saturday. High pressure set up over the Northeast is creating an easterly wind flow over our region the next few days, and also blocking an area of low pressure from moving in our direction. In the tropics: an area of showers ... High pressure lodged over the East Coast will dominate the 7-day forecast. Air circulating around this high will bring increasing moisture into the region, allowing for a 40% chance of showers Monday through Wednesday of next week. Until then, expect the breezy to increase as well as the humidity. ...Temperatures will be gently falling into the 70s tonight around SE LA as many head out to watch their favorite high school games.

For more information on Tropical Storm Marco, see our hurricane page. ...Tropical Depression 13 has formed in the far southern Bay of Campeche. It formed during the mid-morning and as of 1 PM, has winds of 35 mph and a movement to the W at 10 mph. The storm will possibly become Tropical Storm Marco over the next 24 hours, but should continue its westerly trek into the east coast of Mexico near Veracruz with no threat to us here on the U.S. Gulf Coast. ...Lots to talk about this morning! There is a front positioned across Oklahoma and Texas this morning, and to the East of the front, conditions are humid and warm. We'll be in the mid 80s today, with dewpoints in the lower 70s. The humidity will be with us tomorrow as well, when the front approaches from the west. Rain chances are at 60% tomorrow, and the best chance will be in the afternoon/evening.

These coastal showers will persist throughout the day, and coastal parishes will see showers develop today. Temperatures will be above average once again this afternoon as high pressure off to our East continues to dominate the forecast, and we are seeing lots of blue sky associated with that high. However, a str... Plenty of blue sky this weekend will warm temperatures to the mid to upper 80s both days. High pressure setting up over the Eastern United States will allow for us to continue our period of dry weather this weekend... and the humidity will be allowed to creep back in with the winds shifting to the south/southeast beginning Saturday night.
