New Orleans starts Sunday clear and near 70 degrees, then climbs to about 90 under full sunshine. The city is in for several more days of summerlike heat before a front could bring cooler weather next weekend.
The National Weather Service expects sunny skies Sunday, with a high approaching 90 and overnight lows in the 60s or closer to 70. Columbus Day reaches about 86 degrees, followed by highs near 86 Tuesday and 87 Wednesday and Thursday, while rain chances remain at or near zero. No active weather alerts are listed for the forecast area.
The Heat Hangs On Through Friday
Monday and Tuesday will be sunny, with generally dry weather through the week. Mornings and evenings will be more comfortable, with overnight lows generally in the upper 60s to low 70s. It is a much quieter setup than the tropical-weather and coastal-flooding concerns covered in Hoodline's earlier update.
A Possible Cold Front Could Arrive By Friday Or Next Weekend
A Possible Front Could Bring Cooler Weather A front could pass through next weekend. If it does, highs could fall several degrees.
For outdoor plans, Sunday through Friday look dry and easy, though afternoon heat will still be worth remembering. If a front passes next weekend, highs could fall several degrees, making a light layer worth considering.
