Low temperatures will be in the mid-40s on the north shore and low-50s south of Lake Pontchartrain.
Through the weekend, expect sunshine and temperatures climbing into the mid to upper 70s. The area will be near the 80-degree mark on Sunday. No rain is expected.
Some Gulf moisture will return early next week and there could be a stray shower or storms on Tuesday and Wednesday. Otherwise, very warm conditions will return.
