SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA: Today through Sunday there is a 40-60 percent chance of thunderstorms with a decrease to 20 percent in the evenings. Monday has a 30 percent chance of thunderstorms and partly cloudy in the evening. Tuesday has a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms.
Temperatures: Today: 95/79, Saturday: 94/77, Sunday: 93/78, Monday: 95/76, Tuesday: 94/76.
HAZARDOUS WEATHER: Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop mainly during the afternoon and early evening hours. No widespread or organized severe weather is expected although some of the storms could be strong and produce frequent lightning, gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall. Afternoon high temperatures are again expected to climb into the lower to middle 90s across the area today and by early next week, afternoon temperatures will moderate toward seasonal normals with the high humidity, heat indices will range between 105 and 110 degrees. Saturday through Thursday, scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected each day across the region, as a frontal boundary eventually stalls across the northern gulf coast. Upper level disturbances will move westward across the gulf and enhance the development of thunderstorms. Some storms will be capable of producing frequent lightning, gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall. However, widespread severe weather is not expected.
SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA: Today and tomorrow there will be a 40 percent chance for thunderstorms with a decrease to 10-20 percent chance in the evenings. Sunday has a 30 percent chance of thunderstorms. Monday will be sunny and clear. Tuesday is forecasted to have a 20 percent slight chance of thunderstorms.
Temperatures: Today: 91/77, Saturday: 90/77, Sunday: 92/78, Monday: 94/77, Tuesday: 95/79.
HAZARDOUS WEATHER: Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop late in the morning with a few thunderstorms lingering overnight. These storms will be slow moving and capable of producing locally heavy rainfall. Temperatures are expected to again rise above seasonal norms beginning on Sunday with a reduction in thunderstorm activity.
CENTRAL LOUISIANA: Today through Sunday there will be a 40-50 percent chance for thunderstorms with a decrease to 20 percent in the evenings. Monday will be sunny and clear. Tuesday is forecasted to have a 20 percent slight chance of thunderstorms.

HAZARDOUS WEATHER: Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop late in the morning with a few thunderstorms lingering overnight.

NORTHERN LOUISIANA: Today through Tuesday has a 20-40 percent slight chance of thunderstorms throughout each day with Sunday and Monday evenings having partly cloudy skies.
Temperatures: Today: 98/76, Saturday: 95/76, Sunday: 97/76, Monday: 97/76, Tuesday: 99/76.
HAZARDOUS WEATHER: A strong upper level ridge of high pressure remains in control of the weather across the southern plains and lower Mississippi valley region. Although high temperatures this afternoon are expected to be slightly cooler than Thursday, they will still reach into the mid and upper nineties. These temperatures, when combined with a very humid airmass, will again result in heat indices of 105 to 108 degrees. Thus, a heat advisory remains in effect for the area through this evening. As the ridge continues to drift westward today, showers and thunderstorms will be possible again. A weak front will slowly sink into the region from the north and will likely serve as a focus for some of these showers and thunderstorms. Although a few isolated damaging wind gusts cannot be ruled out, no widespread severe weather is expected at this time. Saturday through Thursday, afternoon scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible through the weekend and into the upcoming work week, as the upper level ridge builds northeast into Oklahoma and Arkansas. Given that temperatures will reach into the mid to upper 90s most days, instability will be such that an isolated damaging wind gust cannot be ruled out. However, no widespread severe weather is expected at this time.
