The weather is expected to remain warm and sunny in Southeast Louisiana, with temperatures reaching around 80 degrees and temperatures expected to reach the mid-80s. However, a potential storm threat is expected for mid-week, with damaging wind gusts over 60 mph, large hail, and possibly a few tornadoes predicted. The potential severe weather threat is uncertain as models are unsure how far south the cold front will move, setting up a potential for heavy rainfall. Rainfall totals of 1 to 2 inches or more are possible Thursday through Friday, and the Weather Prediction Center may highlight the region for excessive rainfall risk.
