NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - It’s the start of a new work week and some stormy periods are on the way over the next day or so. Rain showers could be a problem as early as this morning as a weak front just sits stalled across the area. Now any rain early today will likely just be showers but as we get some heating going, I do expect a few more storms to pop by this afternoon. Overall rain coverage today will be around 60% with rain expected at times. Highs by afternoon should top out around 80.

Storm chances remain to start the week
