New Orleans Weather: Scattered rain this weekend with weaker Rafael
SUMMARY: Happy Saturday! A sticky and humid morning is underway with cloudy skies and temperatures in the 70s, expecting to rise into the 80s this weekend. Rain is likely, especially on Sunday with scattered showers, while Baton Rouge faces the highest chance for storms. Tropical Storm Rafael, weakening nearby, won’t impact the area, but will contribute to tropical moisture this weekend. Be prepared for a weather alert on Sunday with heavy rain, potential coastal flooding, and breezy conditions (10-15 mph winds). By later next week, a weak cold front could bring cooler, less humid weather. Stay dry and enjoy your weekend!
WWL Louisiana Meteorologist Alexa Trischler says a Weather Impact Alert has been issued for Sunday as Rafael hangs around in Gulf of Mexico.
