SUMMARY: The weather forecast indicates warm temperatures in the 80s with plenty of sunshine and low humidity, continuing dry conditions until the end of the month. An upper ridge of high pressure is established, leading to a quiet weather pattern across the Deep South. Currently, there is no drought in Southeast Louisiana or south Mississippi, although some areas are abnormally dry. This wet year has left most regions with a significant rain surplus. While October and November are typically dry months, the winter outlook predicts warmer and drier conditions, potentially affecting the NorthShore. No tropical threats are anticipated for the Gulf Coast.

WWL Louisiana Meteorologist Alexa Trischler says expect plenty of sunshine and nice weather over the next week.
