It’s finally going to feel like fall this weekend after two frontal systems ushering in rain and clouds move through the state Friday. State Climatologist Barry Keim said one system is along the coast and the other is coming in from the north. Rain totals could be between and half inch to an inch or less…
“The beauty of this though is some much cooler Canadian air is expected to sort of filter in from behind this front and we are looking at glorious fall weather for the weekend,” said Keim.
Lows Saturday morning will be in the mid-50s across northern parishes and the mid-60s in south Louisiana. But the kicker, Keim said, is the high temperatures that will only reach into the seventies. On Sunday he said lows in north Louisiana will be in the upper-forties and in the fifties in the south.
“So, we’re looking at highs in the 70s for both Saturday and Sunday, and with clear skies, it’s going to be absolutely fandamntastic,” said Keim.
And as we get into next week Keim said the mercury will slowly increase but it will still be very fall-like. After having to stay indoors for so long due to the excessive heat, Keim said this is the weekend weather we’ve all been waiting for.
“So hey, get out there and enjoy it, we’ve been beat down so bad with this summer this is going to be a real taste of fall weather and it’s going to be unbelievable,” said Keim.
