Severe weather threatens New Orleans as a cold front moves in.
New Orleans is bracing for severe weather as a cold front is expected to roll in this weekend. With temperatures rising to the mid-80s today, storms are forecasted to arrive after midnight, posing a level 2 threat of severe weather. Residents should stay alert for the potential of tornadoes and flooding. Cooler weather will follow, with temperatures dropping significantly by Tuesday, before a warm-up next week. Stay prepared and informed about the changing conditions.
Hey there, New Orleans! Get ready to brace yourself as a cold front makes its way to our fabulous city later tonight and into Sunday. If you think today is all about warm and sunny vibes, think again – we’ve got some wild weather on the horizon!
Today, you might notice the temperature climbing up to the mid to upper 80s, and let’s not forget the wind! Expect gusty breezes in the 20s and 30s (mph) that could add a bit of a chill if you’re out and about. However, don’t get too comfy because Mother Nature has some other plans that involve storms rolling into town.
The excitement kicks off after midnight when storms will start marching in from the west. Initially, these storms will make their appearance along the I-55 corridor before they spread out across the area. Hold onto your hats, folks! A level 2 threat of severe weather looms through 7 AM on Sunday – with an even higher risk for those in the west part of the region.
Now here’s something to keep an eye on: there could be isolated storms ahead of the main line that bring with them a higher risk of tornadoes and some serious wind gusts. The potential for an embedded tornado within this storm system is still a possibility, so it’s best to stay alert. Fortunately, as the line of storms crosses over the area, the severe threat levels should decrease, which is some good news for all of us.
If you’re planning to catch some shut-eye tonight, it might be wise to have a way to receive any weather alerts just in case severe warnings are issued during the night. Safety always comes first!
As we move into Sunday morning, rain is expected to stick around after sunrise. You might want to watch out for some heavy localized rain that could lead to street flooding in certain areas. So, if you’ve got plans for Sunday, don’t forget your umbrella and maybe some galoshes, too, just in case things get a little too splashy!
While the weekend might be starting off with a bit of a bang, cooler and drier weather is anticipated to settle in as we kick off the new week. By Monday, we’re looking at a high temperature around 67 degrees in New Orleans. But hang on, because things could get even chillier! Some areas, particularly on the Northshore, may see temperatures dip down to around 40 degrees by Tuesday morning. Yes, you read that right—make sure to grab those sweaters!
Don’t worry too much though, because by the end of next week, temperatures are forecasted to warm back into the glorious 80s. So, it looks like we’ll have a nice range of temperatures—just like a true New Orleans experience!
