The front that brought us the dry and less humid air will lift north today.

This will slowly increase the humidity across SE Louisiana.

It will be mostly sunny with a few showers and storms mainly along the coast again today.

High temperatures will be in the mid 90s and the heat index 100-105.

Tonight will be mostly clear and muggy with lows in the lower 70s north and upper 70s south.
