Heat Advisory issued Tuesday. Increasing rain and localized flood risk late week

NEW ORLEANS ( WGNO ) — Another Heat Advisory issued 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday. Feels-Like temperatures 105-110. Spotty afternoon thunderstorms likely, but it rain coverage looks to be hit or miss.

Rain chances will begin to increase by Thursday/Friday as a fleeting cold front washes out across the Gulf Coast.

In the longer range, I’m bringing some good news!

Tropics remain on summer break over the next seven days with no development expected.

In addition, ‘cooler-than-average’ temperatures likely by late week into next week. Below average in mid-late July?! Yes, that means it will still be in the upper 80s-low 90s. But, we will take it.

Now, the one thing we will need to monitor…as this ‘cold-front’ nears Louisiana by late week-weekend…it will increase daily rain chances.

There will be a localized flash flood risk as enhanced showers and thunderstorms return to the forecast.
