A Dense Fog Advisory has been issued as visibility has been dropping at press time across the coastal parishes. Hopefully the fog will lift quicker tomorrow morning with an increasing easterly breeze. Freshening winds from the east right around daybreak should lift the fog to a very low cloud deck so although surface visibility may improve, it could delay air travel plans early in the morning. For you pilots, it will be LIFR through the early morning hours improving to IFR after 700 am and then MVFR by 8-9am.  Conditions will be slow to improve in the offshore areas.  We will see partly cloudy and breezy conditions tomorrow afternoon with highs reaching the mid-70s. The winds will get kicking late tomorrow with E/SE winds increasing into the 10-20mph range by evening. It will be quite windy Friday night into Saturday with gusts likely exceeding 30mph by midday Saturday.Â
The big storm system this weekend will be blowing and going across the plains states by Saturday morning with a moderate to high risk of severe weather likely for our neighbors to the north. The Storm Prediction Center has us hatched in for a slight risk of severe weather with strong upper level wind dynamics the main forcing factor here Saturday. Although we’ll be an the southern-most edge
of where severe weather could form, we will still see at least a broken, if not a solid squall line crossing the area Saturday afternoon. Some isolated storms will be capable of rotation with wind damage, large hail, or and isolated tornado possible. The greater risk of severe weather will likely be from Central Louisiana and northward and eastward Saturday afternoon and 
evening. Behind this storm system expect mostly sunny and mild weather Sunday through Tuesday with highs in the low-mid 70s while lows drop into the upper 40s to lower 50s. The atmosphere will reload again by late Wednesday with another round of heft storms possible by next Thursday.  Â
