Tonight Forecast: Look for a muggy night with partly cloudy skies, patchy dense fog and a 10% chance for a coastal shower. Lows will be in the upper 60s north and lower 70s south.
Strong Cold Front: The weather will REALLY start to change on Monday as a strong cold front comes out of the Great Plains and into the Deep South. Clouds will be on the increase throughout the morning and we will start to see scattered showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon. A squall line of storms is forecast to develop over Texas and move into Louisiana throughout the day. Scattered storms are expected to develop ahead of the line. Some of these storms could be strong to possibly severe with gusty winds and heavy rain. SPC has us in a Slight Risk for Severe Weather. However, the greatest area for severe weather will be in Southern Mississippi. Highs will still be very warm as they climb into the upper 80s.
The squall line will move out ahead of the cold front and into Southeast Louisiana on Monday Night/Early Tuesday Morning. Some of the storms associated with the line could be strong to severe with gusty winds and heavy rain. It will be mild and breezy with lows in the 60s.
Rest of the Week: We will start to clear out with plenty of sunshine on Tuesday Afternoon as the cold front moves to the east of Louisiana. It will be breezy and MUCH COOLER with highs only in the upper 70s. Tuesday Night will also be MUCH COOLER under clear skies. Lows north of the lake will be around 50 and south of the lake in the upper 50s.
Gorgeous weather is on tap for the rest of the week with low humidity. Wednesday and Thursday will have plenty of sunshine with highs around 80. Lows will be in the 50s north and 60s south of the lake.
The humidity starts to go back up on Friday and into next weekend. Each day will be partly cloudy with highs in the 80s and lows in the 50s north and 60s south.
Tropical Update: Hurricane Fay is moving away from Bermuda as it tracks out to sea in the Atlantic. Winds are around 75 mph and the pressure is 986 mb. It is moving to the NE at 24 mph & it will continue to move into the Central Atlantic. It is expected to become a post-tropical system on Monday.
Tropical Storm Gonzalo just formed about 200 miles east of Guadeloupe. Winds are 40 mph, but Gonzalo is forecast to become a hurricane during the next 48 hours as it approaches Puerto Rico. It is moving to the W at 10 mph, but a turn to the WNW is expected on Tuesday Night. On this track, Gonzalo is forecast to move through the Leeward Island and over Puerto Rico by 8 AM Tuesday. Then it is forecast to turn more to the north and stay away from the US. This will not impact Louisiana.
Elsewhere...the rest of the tropics are quiet.
Have a good rest of the weekend and get ready for some MUCH COOLER air to arrive on Tuesday! -Dave
