Valentine's Day AM Forecast: A few showers today and a Wind Advisory
Clouds are moving in and a few showers will be possible later today.
THE FORECAST
Today & Tonight: Clouds will be moving in throughout the morning. Between the clouds, temperatures will be in the mid-70s. A few isolated showers will be around this afternoon. It will not be a washout but grab your umbrella for Valentine’s dinner just in case. A Wind Advisory goes into effect at noon today for winds sustained up to 25mph and gusting up to 40mph. Pair that with some higher humidity and today is looking like a bad hair day. The Wind Advisory will expire at 6 p.m. tonight. Temperatures will be warm this evening, in the mid-60s.
Up Next: The gloomy skies with spotty showers will continue into Wednesday too with temperatures in the 70s. Wednesday showers will be possible in the morning and afternoon. It will not be a total washout, but clouds will be around all day. Then, a cold front will come through on Thursday and spark up the rest of the moisture. Storms on Thursday may have some lightning and thunder. There is a level 2/5 SLIGHT risk for severe storms on Thursday. Storms will be capable of producing strong winds and we can’t rule out a spin up tornado. Storms will clear by Thursday night, and we are looking dry for the weekend. Rainfall totals for the week are expected to be about 1 inch across all of south Louisiana. There may be isolated higher amounts, but overall rainfall is expected to be manageable.
