The National Weather Service in New Orleans has issued a dense fog advisory earlier today, that residents and commuters should be aware of, particularly those in southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi. The advisory states, "Visibility one quarter mile or less in dense fog," indicating potentially hazardous driving conditions for those on the road before 10 am.
As the fog is expected to lift, a mostly sunny day with a high near 80 is in store for New Orleans, followed by a mostly clear night and a low around 61; the forecast includes a gentle wind shift from calm to a mild south around 5 mph, creating what looks to be the harbinger of a calm uptick in this week's weather narrative.
Weather patterns for the following days suggest variability, oscillating between mostly sunny and mostly cloudy skies with high temperatures hovering in the upper 70s, while the wind continues its dance, shifting directions from the east to southeast throughout the week, forecasts by the National Weather Service suggest intermittent showers, they could intensify to thunderstorms by Friday night.
For those making weekend plans, it's worth eyeing the 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms on Friday night and the likelihood of showers and possibly a thunderstorm on Saturday, the chance of precipitation, however, is set to decrease by Saturday night with the forecast anticipating a slight chance of showers before 1 am followed by a mostly sunny Sunday with a high near 82 clearly the weather is as capricious as ever but promises to lend moments of respite amidst its undecided temperament.
