.DISCUSSION...
A much colder air mass will continue to move south today through
most of the upcoming week, with strong and gusty northerly winds
to continue through the middle of this week. A surface low is
expected to develop Monday across the Western Gulf of Mexico along
the front, and move east northeast Monday night into Tuesday,
allowing for stronger winds Monday night into Tuesday, This
surface low will also generate widespread winter precipitation,
with 4 to 6+ inches expected Tuesday along the U.S. 190 and I-10
corridors of Louisiana and Southeast Texas. A mixture of freezing
rain, sleet and snow will be likely across the coastal parishes
and counties Tuesday. Hard freezes are expected Tuesday through
Thursday mornings, with Wednesday morning lows reaching the lower
to mid teens.
