"Heavy Rain, Strong Winds, and Coastal Flooding Expected in New Orleans This Weekend"
New Orleans faces an increased threat of heavy rainfall throughout the weekend due to a combination of weather systems. A cold front approaching from the west, Tropical Storm Rafael to the south, and a high-pressure system to the east are creating conditions that will funnel tropical moisture into the area. This setup could result in life-threatening flooding in western and central Louisiana on Saturday, with rain and storm potential spreading to western parts of New Orleans.
Expect cloudy skies with temperatures in the mid-80s, and winds gusting up to 30 mph by evening. Coastal flooding is likely as persistent strong winds from the east cause tides to rise 2-4 feet above normal.
Sunday brings the highest chance of flooding rain, as a low-pressure system moves north from the Gulf, increasing the risk of “training storms” that produce heavy rainfall. Rain totals could reach 2-4 inches, with isolated higher amounts in areas hit hardest.
The rain threat continues into Monday before a gradual drying trend mid-week. A colder front is expected late next week, potentially bringing near-average temperatures for the first time in a while.
