NEW ORLEANS —
New Orleans Latest Weather Forecast
A few rounds of heavy rain are expected early this week. One will likely move through north of Lake Pontchartrain very early Monday morning. Another round of rain will sweep through Monday night after about 9 p.m. These storms will likely send us a quick 1-4 inches of rain with the highest totals likely north of the lake. Street flooding will be possible.
A few storms could also be strong to severe especially with the round moving in Monday night. We'll have to watch in case of high wind gusts. Tornadoes and hail are less likely but will be possible.
A couple of showers or storms could linger early Tuesday morning before we dry out and skies begin to clear later in the day. Wednesday will be a mostly sunny but hot day before yet more scattered storms return to the forecast starting Thursday and beyond. Keep umbrellas handy this week, and keep up with the forecast in case of changes later in the week.
