If we get enough sun on Friday, it could be our first real hot and humid day of the year, then we'll need to track storms over the weekend in your New Orleans weather forecast.
It's another mild and humid night with 70s where you'll wake up to morning lows right around 70.
There will be some areas of patchy fog too.
This high resolution forecast has been consistent in clearing the morning clouds to give us enough sun to bring some high temps close to 90! The record high in New Orleans for Friday is 90 set in 1987.
Saturday starts off mild, around 70, with some areas of patchy fog.
Clouds will return, but highs will still top out in the mid 80s.
As for rain, I'm seeing data support it's the Northshore that's likelier to get showers and storms in the afternoon and evening hours Saturday. However, this data is showing possible showers and storms over New Orleans. There's a chance, but I think the rain chance for the city is lower.
Sunday is the likeliest storm day for everyone. The timing looks to be Sunday morning with rain ending by the afternoon.
We could find up to an 1" of rain, but I wouldn't be surprised if some get between 1"-2" or locally even more.
Highs will be much cooler with the rain and cloud cover.
Much nicer weather drops in next week with the return of beautiful spring air! A chance of rain could arrive by as early as Tuesday, but I'm not that confident in storm chances next week.
Here's your seven day forecast:
Be safe, and have a great night!
