A dense fog advisory is in effect for the southeastern half of the area (from now through 9am tomorrow morning) as well as lakes and near shore coastal waters (from now through noon tomorrow). Visibilities could drop below 1/4 mile. Be safe: Slow down and increase following distance, use low beam headlights; consider delaying travel, mariners should navigate with caution.
The next couple days will be a lot warmer than normal. But what's normal, you may ask? It is the average high/low temperature for today over 30 years from 1991 to 2020. That average gives us something to expect and to compare to. The graphic shows the forecast into the weekend for New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Gulfport, and McComb with rain chances on Friday and Saturday. Temperatures are looking like lows in the 60s and highs around 80, give or take. Normal temperatures are low in the 40s and highs in the mid-60s.
