Changes are on the way as an upper level trough will bring a weak frontal boundary into the region by tomorrow evening. As usual in the summertime, the front will weaken, and become diffuse, but there will be enough dynamics left to draw plenty of tropical moisture into the region as we head into next week. So tomorrow will be another hot and humid one with highs reaching the mid-90s and scattered storms becoming more likely by late afternoon, especially into the evening hours.Â
The models have been split on whether enough dry air will move into the region behind this system on Sunday. Conventional wisdom would indicate that the front gets hung-up along the coast and begins to back up to the north by late in the day. Coastal parishes therefore, will be the wettest Sunday with drier conditions more likely well inland…north of the I-10 parishes.Â
Much of next week will be highlighted by a good chance of scattered showers and storms everyday. Some locally heavy rainfall will be likely on one or two days of next week. At least it won’t be as hot after tomorrow with highs closer to the upper 80s to lower 90s.Â
