A cold front beginning to make its way into the area has been triggering a few storms and more are possible as we continue through the evening.

There is a slight possibility that some of the storms could be heavy.  "We are still in a low-end risk of maybe a few isolated storms becoming strong to severe," said WWL-TV meteorologist Chris Franklin.  

But after the front passes, our weather shapes up nicely.

"Most of this week will be very, very nice," Franklin said.
