Record setting heat was the story for most of the summer and as we round out the season with some movement in the tropics, we can start to look ahead to fall and winter.
While you wouldn't normally equate cold temperatures with New Orleans, a noticeable change in the environment would be nice.
LSU Health Climatologist, Barry Keim, says the La Nina effect will keep things unseasonably warm; in a place that is already unseasonably warm.
"Things will be dryer than normal and warmer than normal."
Keim says that any reliable forecast only projects about ten days out and we will be in the eighties through then.
So, cooler temperatures will not be seen in the near future and the probability of many such mornings are slim beyond then.
"We could get an arctic incursion but the likelihood of that is reduced and there were probably be fewer of them."
So, for now, the lower humidity and nicer temperatures will have to do.
