However, the heavy thunderstorms off the coast will be moving in late tonight into tomorrow. Most of the area, both the southshore and the northshore will see rain tonight. The question is if it will clear out in time for the Monday morning commute. I'll have m... A stationary frontal boundary combined with a rich layer of moisture triggered round after round of rain and thunderstorms Saturday. One of our WeatherBug locations on the westbank recorded 8.32 inches of rain and counting... that frontal boundary will make it's move into the forecast region on Sunday, which could trigger another round of heavy thunderstorms Sunday night.

Still a warm day across SE Lousiana, after a cold front moved through the forecast area. The frontal system that passed through yesterday is more often called a dry front as the dewpoint temperature, (which measure the amount of moisture in the air), has dropped, but actual afternoon high temperatures will remain about the same today. The cold air remains trapped to our north. Dewpoints will be in the 40s to low 50s today. Definitely a gorgeou... Spotty showers have developed to the West of metro New Orleans this morning.

Although it will be breezy and cool Friday night, temperatures wi... Another cold front is passing through the area tonight. In advance of the front, winds have picked up to 15-25 miles per hour this afternoon.
