NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Good Morning, New Orleans! Happy Friday! Rain spread inland a little ahead of schedule Thursday evening and that trend has continued through Friday morning. A few scattered thunderstorms have been mixed in as well. Right now, the heaviest activity has pushed east along the Mississippi coast and just offshore with isolated areas of heavy downpours inland. 1-2 inches of rain will be possible through Friday.
The bulk of the rain has now fallen, but showers will continue in the morning time frame with less activity Friday afternoon. Expect just spotty showers later in the day with temperatures topping out in the upper 60s.
Rain chances over the weekend will continue in an isolated fashion with showers and storms popping up both Saturday and Sunday. However the overall chance is only around 30-40%. Look for temperatures back in the low to mid 70s.
Higher rain chances move back in early next week.
