Temps warmed above freezing today, with sunshine for Christmas across Southeast Louisiana.
"We woke up with temperatures in the 20s for everyone except in the New Orleans metro, where it was in the low 30s," WWL TV Meteorologist Payton Malone reported.
He say afternoon highs climb above freezing with low to mid 40s.
Tonight we freeze again with 20s away from the city and low 30s in the immidiate metro area.
"This upcoming week and last week of 2022 will feature a warm up. The week starts chilly, but by Wednesday high temperatures will max out in the 70s. With warmer weather on the way along with higher humidity, we'll probably start to see fog by the middle of the week. Toward Friday and Saturday a storm system will bring rain and storms to the area."
