Don't expect many changes as the weekend wraps up, or through most of next week, for that matter. That pattern finally breaks just in time for Halloween, even bringing rain chances back into the mix.
Today & Tonight: Like clockwork, plentiful sunshine will shake off the morning chill and shove highs into the low-to-mid 80s by afternoon. High clouds will filter in occasionally, turning more noticeable later in the day. It will be those passing clouds that keep lows a touch warmer into Monday morning. Even so, expect a crisp start to Monday as temperatures bottom out in the mid-50s.
It’s also worth noting that persistent dry air and drought-stricken vegetation continue to drive up the fire weather danger, making it easier for grass fires to ignite. Several parishes have issued burn bans in response. While a slight bump in humidity will help ease the threat, still avoid outdoor burning, and please follow all local restrictions.
Up Next: The familiar routine of chilly 50s in the morning and warm 80s by the afternoon will stick around through most of next week. By the end of the week, humidity will begin filtering back into the region. Starting on Halloween, there may be a muggy feel to the air again, which could fuel a round of isolated showers and thunderstorms. While specific timing details remain to be determined, this marks the first legitimate chance for a passing shower in a while.
