A weak cold front will cross through Louisiana and Mississippi Friday night and bring cooler temperatures for the weekend. While some clouds will pass through at times, the weather looks cooperative for another weekend of football games.
Reinforcing Cool Air: Arriving for the weekend
Chilliest Morning of the Season (so far): mid-40s expected early Sunday
Uncertainty Next Week: passing clouds and small possibility of showers
Tonight and Tomorrow: A cold front will move offshore tonight. The heart of the cooler air mass may lag a few hours behind the front, so low temperatures will settle into the low 50s again under mostly clear skies. Some high clouds will occasionally filter sunshine on Saturday, and high temperatures will be noticeably lower in the mid 70s.
Friday Night & Saturday Football Forecast: High school football fans will have crisp, autumn weather Friday evening, with kickoff temperatures in the low 70s sliding into the 60s under mostly clear skies. Saturday afternoon will bring more fall football conditions for both Southern University at A.W. Mumford Stadium and LSU at Tiger Stadium. Expect a mix of clouds and sun with comfortable afternoon highs in the mid-70s. The morning and end of the games will be in the 50s and 60s, respectively, so dress in layers so you can add or subtract as needed through the day.
Up Next: Sunday morning will begin with the coolest temperatures of the season so far, in the mid-40s in Baton Rouge, with some rural spots and southwest Mississippi dipping into the lower 40s. Sunday afternoon will stay crisp, topping out in the upper 60s and low 70s with partial sunshine.
Early next week will feature slowly moderating temperatures. A weak storm system will ride over the region with more clouds and possibly a spotty shower Monday through Wednesday, but the vast majority will remain dry, with afternoon highs settling in the mid to upper 70s and lows in the upper 40s.

The Tropics: A broad, non-tropical low-pressure system several hundred miles south of Bermuda is unlikely to develop further. Strong upper-level winds will tear it apart by the end of the weekend over open water. There are no other areas to watch in the Gulf, Caribbean, or Atlantic as hurricane season winds down.
