Warm and humid today with a few possible showers but a cold front is on its way for Easter weekend.

WWL-TV’s Meteorologist Dave Nussbaum says, “A warm front will move up from the Gulf of Mexico today and this will make it warmer and more humid. It will also set off spotty showers and a few thunderstorms. The greatest coverage of rain will be across the Northshore. High temperatures will be in the mid-80s. Tonight will stay mostly cloudy and muggy with lows in the 70s on both sides of the lake.”
