Dry conditions and nice feeling air will continue through most of the workweek. Looking ahead to Halloween weekend, humidity and rain chances will increase.
Today & Tonight: A veil of high clouds is keeping Monday morning from getting quite as chilly as recent nights, holding early temperatures in the mid-50s rather than dipping into the upper 40s or low 50s. It’s still a cool start, just slightly milder. As the day unfolds, expect dim or filtered sun overhead, with afternoon highs climbing into the lower 80s—give or take a degree or two depending on cloud thickness.
Fire risk remains a real concern across the area due to persistent dryness, and several parish burn bans are actively in effect. A modest bump in humidity won't be enough to offset the hazard, so hold off on any open flames—especially during the afternoon hours—and respect all local restrictions.
Up Next: Tuesday is shaping up to be nearly a mirror image of Monday, featuring mid-50s to start the day, lower 80s for the peak, and waves of high clouds drifting overhead. Brighter skies take over for Wednesday and Thursday. With less cloud cover, you’ll notice a larger temperature swing, though readings will still follow that familiar pattern of brisk 50s early, giving way to 80s by the afternoon.
A noticeable pattern shift arrives Friday as Gulf moisture pushes back inland across southern Louisiana, setting up a sticky feel heading into Halloween weekend. That uptick in humidity also introduces our first chance of showers after a prolonged dry stretch. The exact timeline for rainfall is still in question, so keep an eye on upcoming updates as confidence in the forecast increases. In addition to the stickiness, expect warm conditions with afternoons running into the mid-to-upper 80s—just a couple ticks away from record territory.
