Sunday & Beyond: Most of the rain should wrap up by early Sunday morning, though some clouds may hang around and a few light showers could pop up later in the day. Outdoor plans still look good overall with lots of dry stretches. Just be ready for the occasional sprinkle. It’ll be breezy, too, with north winds around 10–20 mph, which might make catching parade throws a bit more of a challenge. Highs will top out in the low 70s.
The beginning of next week looks calm and pleasant. Lundi Gras, Mardi Gras, and Ash Wednesday are expected to be mostly sunny and mild, with highs in the mid to upper 70s. By the end of the week, temperatures climb into the 80s, and that’s when rain chances start to creep back in.
