A strong cold front is moving across the country and heading for the Gulf Coast.
WWL TV Meteorologist Payton Malone forecasts it will get to Southeast Louisiana tomorrow morning with scattered storms.

"Waking up Thanksgiving morning temperatures will be in the 60s ahead of the cold front," he explained. "After lunchtime temperatures will likely drop into the 60s and eventually the 50s by Thursday evening."
He says most of the rain will push out with the front.
"There could still be a few showers into Thursday night and early Friday morning."
He says Black Friday starts in the 40s and 50s.
"Things stay sharply colder with highs only in the 50s."
Another front moves through late Saturday reinforcing the cold air.
"It doesn't look like a widespread freeze, but the Northshore will be close each morning from Saturday morning all the way into Tuesday."
Temperatures will hover in the low to mid 30s each morning north of the lake, but the southshore will stay in the 40s.
