Scattered showers for Lundi Gras but dry Mardi Gras Day

weather

Some rain this Lundi Gras but dry on Mardi Gras Day. A cold heads this way bringing scattered showers.

WWLTV’s Meteorologist Dave Nussbaum says “The best chance for rain will be across the Northshore and the Mississippi Coast. It will be warmer with high temperatures in the 70s. Unfortunately, it looks like we will have scattered showers for the parades this evening, so make sure you have your rain gear.”

He also says, “Temperatures will be in the 60s. The cold front will move through tonight, but it will stall along the coast. We will have more scattered showers with lows in the 50s north and 60s south.”
