Hot and humid to end the week ahead of rain on Saturday

Humid air is blowing into Southeast Louisiana.

"More muggy weather is greeting us," noted WWL-TV Meteorologist Dave Nussbaum.


He say it is thanks to a "Bermuda High" parked off the U.S. East Coast near Bermuda.

"This will continue to usher in warm and humid air over the New Orleans area today and Friday. We will have partly cloudy skies today with just a shower or two possible. High temperatures will be in the mid 80s and it will feel like 90°."

Nussbaum says tomorrow will be much the same.

"Friday will be similar to today with a mix of sun and clouds. We could see a stray shower as well. High temperatures remain in the mid 80s and it will feel like 90°.  This will be pretty good weather for Jazz Fest - don't forget your sunscreen and stay hydrated!"

Weekend Forecast: 

  • An upper-level wave/disturbance and a cold front will move across the area on Saturday. They will set off scattered showers and thunderstorms throughout the day. While it will not rain the entire time, you will need your rain gear if you are going to Jazz Fest. It will be warm and humid with high temperatures in the lower 80s. 
  • The weather improves on Sunday as the cold front sits along the Louisiana coast. We will have a mix of sun and clouds and only a slight chance for a shower or storm. High temperatures warm back into the mid 80s. Not a bad way to end Jazz Fest Weekend!
