Warmer days ahead before another chilly blast next weekend

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - The fall chill is real as we start the new work week, but even colder air could be on the way heading into next weekend.

Temperatures will rebound nicely into the 70s today after a chilly start this morning.

The trend by mid-week will be warmer. Highs likely top out in the upper 70s as the week goes on, but that warm-up will be short-lived.

An even stronger cold front is expected to pass through the area by the end of the week, going into next weekend.

This will be a real chill with highs falling back into the 60s and lows dipping into the 30s and 40s. Our first frost potential will come up Saturday morning north of the lake, so that’s something to monitor closely.

Watch Sunday, a Gulf low could provide a rain chance for the end of the weekend plans. It’s still early in the forecast, so we’ll wait and see how the pattern evolves.
