NEW ORLEANS —
New Orleans Latest Weather Forecast
Several rounds of storms will be rolling through the area beginning late Thursday evening into the early hours of Friday, again during the day/evening Friday, and finally early Saturday. Precise timing will be near impossible until the complex of storms develop. Impacts seem greatest from strong winds, but an isolated tornado and hail cannot be ruled out. Also, heavy rainfall could lead to flooding and this may be more of a concern to our saturated ground on the Northshore and high rivers.
We thankfully will dry out, but heat up for Sunday. An upper ridge will send temps well into the low 90s and with higher humidity, heat indices near and above 100°.
