Cold front drops temperatures into the weekend

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Our coolest air of the season is on the way as a cold front sweeps the area over the next 24 hours.

🥶 COLD FRONT - This front will come just in time for the weekend making for some beautiful but chilly weather. Highs into the weekend will fall into the 60s with lows in the 30s and 40s. Our coldest morning will be Saturday when some patchy frost looks possible across our far inland areas. Sunny skies will dominate the weekend before clouds increase late Sunday.

🌧️💨THE NEXT STORM - The increase in clouds comes as our next storm system slides out of Texas. Depending on the exact track of this low pressure, we may have to deal with some rain and wind impacts on Monday. If it trends far enough offshore, those impacts will drop off dramatically. We will see how things trend into the weekend.

Next week sees a slow moderation in temperatures as highs return to the 70s late in the work week.
