After a weekend cold snap, a warming trend is underway.
"We'll have clouds with breaks of sun on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and temperatures in the low 70s," WWL TV Meteorologist Payton Malone said. "As south winds increase moisture, a couple of stray showers could form although most will stay dry."
He says we warm up even more on Tuesday, and a few showers or thunderstorms will be possible especially in the morning as a rain system stalls to our west.
"Wednesday looks similar with a warm and breezy feel along with clouds and a few afternoon showers."

Malone says the line of showers and storms will cross our area late Wednesday night into early Thursday morning.
"A couple of strong storms will be possible, but we'll already be drying out Thursday late morning to midday. "
