We’ll be sunny and slightly above normal yet again as highs make a run for the mid-60s this afternoon. Winds will be relatively light out of the east at about 5 miles per hour. This will help push more moisture into the Queen City ahead of overnight rain.
Look to see clouds build late in the day Tuesday as a low-pressure system tracks from northern Texas to the Midwest. This will swing a cold front through Louisiana into Mississippi leading to a significant threat of severe weather.
Eastern Louisiana and central Mississippi will be under a Moderate Risk for Severe Weather with the main risk being the potential for an isolated Tornado, Hail, and heavy downpours.
Luckily for us, by the time these showers arrive to the Queen City, the threat will mainly be heavy rain and gusty winds.
