Getting warmer and wetter the next few days

Our weather can't seem to settle on one season.  After 80s on Sunday and blustery 50s on Monday, look for more changes as we work through the week.

"Very soggy weather is expected through the rest of the week," WWL-TV Meteorologist Dave Nussbaum forecasts. "A warm front will slowly move up from the Gulf today. We will have scattered showers and a few storms throughout the day."


He says high temperatures will be around 70, but that will actually occur late this evening once the warm front moves through. 

"Tonight will be cloudy with scattered showers and storms. A few storms could be strong to possibly severe toward daybreak."

Nussbaum says another cold front will move into SE Louisiana tomorrow. 

"This will bring us more rain and storms. A few storms could be strong to severe. The storms could produce damaging winds, hail and a few tornadoes. Plus, heavy rain is likely and we could pick up a quick inch or so."

Highs will be in the mid 70s. 

"The front will stall over us on Thursday and Friday. It will wobble north and south at times each day. Expect more scattered showers and storms with some heavy rain."
