Severe Weather Threat Tonight

Storms Return…but Impact to Parades May be Minimal! What to expect today: We’ll see areas of dense fog early this morning, otherwise mostly cloudy with a few showers this afternoon and highs in the 70s. Tonight, a line of showers and thunderstorms will move across the area just ahead of a cold front, reaching the Baton Rouge and McComb areas between 11 PM and 2 AM, the Houma, New Orleans and Northshore areas between 2 AM and 5 AM, and the Mississippi coast and Plaquemines Parish between 5 AM and 8 AM. Some of those storms could be severe with damaging winds, and possibly a few tornadoes, especially west of Interstate 55. Showers and storms will exit the area to the east early Sunday morning with most of the area likely rainfree by sunrise. Skies should clear pretty quickly by midday with afternoon highs in the 70s.

Monitoring Strong/Severe Risk: Tonight / Sun Morning. Line of strong to severe storms expected Our next storm system is expected to impact the area tonight into Sunday morning, delivering a line of strong to severe storms (moving from west to east) across the area. Damaging winds and isolated tornadoes may be the main risks with this line of storms. Check back for more details! Main risk window: around midnight tonight through Sunday morning.
