The chill arrives just in time for the weekend

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - A beautiful weekend of weather is shaping up, though a chill will linger over the next few days.

Expect sunny skies and pleasantly cool weather to greet you into the weekend.

Early mornings will be cold and possibly frosty far inland. Lows dip into the 30s on the north shore with 40s generally south of the lake.

If you have tender vegetation, Saturday’s potential frost may be enough to add a little protection.

A change begins Sunday as clouds increase and we shift our focus to a storm approaching the northern Gulf.

This system will start in Texas and move off our coast Monday. Expect wind and rain impacts to develop as the low slowly moves past Louisiana.

Some of this weather may linger for a few days as the low pressure never totally clears the Gulf. We’ll watch the trends into the weekend.
