Widespread showers and possibly a few thunderstorms are expected to keep pushing in from the west through Monday night and Tuesday morning as a surface low moves across the northern Gulf of Mexico. Models show the light to moderate rainfall continuing into the late evening hours.
The low pressure system associated with this rainmaker will stay offshore which will keep the heaviest rain and stronger thunderstorm activity to our south. The risk for severe weather is very low.
This rain will continue through tonight and then turn into scattered showers by daybreak Tuesday. We will dry out by late Tuesday morning and then just stay seasonably cool through the rest of the week.
Look for lows to drop back below freezing by Thursday morning for areas north and west of Lake Pontchartrain.
