Up Next: On Wednesday, a warm front will usher in some warmer air and some Gulf moisture as well. Temperatures on Wednesday afternoon will be in the low 70s with more humidity. A few showers may bubble up in the afternoon and evening hours, but they will be very spotty. Overnight temperatures will be muggy and warm, in the mid-60s.

Stay weather aware leading into Thursday. Conditions will be warm and muggy with temperatures in the mid-70s ahead of a cold front. Storms are going to move in along a cold front as early as noon and will work through the areas from west to east. All areas are expected to see rain and a few rumbles of thunder. Each storm will be capable of producing very gusty winds, a heavy downpour and frequent lighting. Northern most Parishes and Counties are under a level 2/5 SLIGHT risk for severe storms. This means that any storms that moves through on Thursday will have all the energy it needs to become severe. Storms that develop further north are most likely to turn severe. The evening commute will be moving slow through these widespread showers and storms.
