After another foggy start to the day, we will climb to record highs today.
"Today will be another day with record high temperatures!" WWL-TV Meteorologist Dave Nussbaum said. "Once the fog dissipates, we will see some sunshine and that will allow us to get into the lower 80s."
The record today is 80° set in 2018.
"Tonight a strong cold front will move through with scattered showers and a few rumbles of thunder," Nussbaum said. "It will turn MUCH COLDER with lows in the 40s."
We won't see much of a warm up during the day tomorrow.
"Friday will be a much colder day. High temperatures will only rebound into the lower 50s."
It gets even colder for Saturday morning.
