Warm and humid is the name-of-the-game for today. Plenty of clouds and a few showers are possible today, mostly north of the lake.

Temperatures will be in the 60s on the Northshore, with highs in the 70s south of the lake.

"An active day tomorrow warm and humid again with highs in the 70s. This will bring numerous showers in the afternoon hours some of them could be severe thunderstorms as a cold front heads our way," according to WWL TV Meteorologist Dave Nussbaum.

That cold front moves in on Thursday morning bringing more rain through the midday. Some of the rain could be heavy. But, Friday will be nice and much cooler with plenty of sunshine and highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s.
