The National Weather Service in New Orleans has reported that unseasonably warm weather will continue this weekend, with temperatures soaring 10 to 15 degrees above normal. While the calendar says November, the heat is here to stay, prompting concerns over potential fog formation tonight, especially in areas that have experienced heavy rainfall recently.
As temperatures linger in the balmy range, a slight chance of patchy fog exists, particularly from Baton Rouge to McComb, though the probability remains low. Meanwhile, rising tides, fueled by strengthening southeast winds across the Gulf of Mexico, raise concerns of nuisance coastal flooding during high tide this evening. Coastal areas are under a flood advisory, with forecasts predicting tide levels reaching between 1.5 to 1.75 feet MHHW, and some areas facing a 10% chance of exceeding 2 feet. Residents are urged to stay informed and prepare for possible impacts as the warm weather continues.
