New Orleans Weather: Big temperature drop this week
SUMMARY: A warm evening in mid-October sees temperatures around 77°F with a muggy feel due to high humidity. A cold front is approaching, which will bring a significant drop in temperatures starting Wednesday, shifting to cooler and drier air from the north. While tomorrow will be warm and humid, with highs in the mid-80s, Wednesday will see strong northerly winds and cooler temperatures in the 60s. Little rain is expected despite the frontal passage, and no significant tropical activity poses a threat to the Gulf. Overall, a brief cool down is ahead, with highs in the 60s later this week.
We look to continue the typically dry October with no rain in the forecast for at least the next 7 days, even as a cold front moves through Wednesday morning! Another warmer day Tuesday with afternoon highs running above normal in the mid and some upper 80s. Humidity has been a bit higher, but still comfortable.
A strong cold front will move through early Wednesday with a sharp drop in temperatures. Waking up, temps will be in the 60s and many may stay there through the day as colder air continues moving in. Winds will also increase immediately behind the front and remain breezy into the weekend. North winds will eventually become easterly, and some minor coastal flooding is possible later in the week.
Thursday and Friday look to be the chilliest mornings with 40s and 50s and daytime highs in the low then mid 70s. Gorgeous this weekend, with sunny skies, cooler temps, and low humidity. The coldest of the air will remain more to our north and the upper trough bringing the airmass south will almost immediately start lifting north. So gradually, daytime highs and morning lows will be increasing. But even by next Monday the high is only in the low 80s!

Report: LDH pulling back on vaccine push
SUMMARY: Anonymous employees from the Louisiana Health Department claim that leadership has instructed them not to promote COVID-19 and flu vaccines anymore. A report from NPR cites four employees who were told to cease social media posts, vaccine events, and press releases about vaccination encouragement due to a re-evaluation of messaging as the pandemic evolves. The health department did not confirm specifics but acknowledged the change in approach. Experts warn that this shift may lead to decreased vaccination rates during a time when Louisiana is experiencing high flu cases, potentially increasing illness and mortality rates. Vaccines remain available and free through various local channels.
Anonymous employees say the state health department is pulling back on telling people to get vaccinated. That’s according to a report published by NPR on Friday.
