If you’ve been waiting for that first real taste of fall, the wait is over. The National Weather Service says a cool front moves through tonight, and by morning, southeast Louisiana will be feeling the chill.
“We’ll definitely wake up to some of the coolest temperatures we’ve seen in a while,” says forecaster Phil Grigsby.
“Daytime highs will only top out in the sixties, so it’s going to feel like fall.”
That drop in temperature might sound scary for Halloween plans, but Grigsby says trick-or-treaters can relax.
“There will be a front nearby, but winds are cooperating. The early evening hours should be pleasantly cool and crisp, not frigid. A light sweater should be enough for most costumes.”
The cooldown won’t last long, though. Grigsby says temperatures should rebound by early next week, making this more of an autumnal snap, not a sign that winter’s here to stay.
So enjoy the pumpkin patches, the spooky vibes, and that first hint of sweater weather before south Louisiana’s humidity comes creeping back.
