The fog will likely be heavy tonight, but we have a few nice days ahead before the next threat of severe weather and localized heavy rain returns to the forecast for New Orleans. A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until 10 a.m., resulting in WDSU's first heavy fog weather impact warning day, tonight. Morning lows will be in the upper 50s to lower 60s. After the clouds and fog in the morning, we should see a fair amount of sun and this should help us reach 78 by the afternoon! We could see more fog Thursday morning, but forecast signals are not currently strong for the widespread dense fog. Morning lows will be in the lower 60s. Morning clouds and fog will lead to more daytime and afternoon sun, which will also bring highs around 78. Let's talk about Friday. Another strong cold front will enter the picture, and this will bring us the chance of strong, possibly severe, storms, along with another threat of locally heavy rain. We are already at risk for potentially severe storms and locally heavy rain. High temperatures in the upper 70s to around 80 and high humidity with dew points near 70, along with sufficient circulation in the atmosphere will combine to bring the risk of severe weather. Here's how I see the threat we face from severe weather and heavy rain right now. Rain may continue into Saturday morning, but unfortunately cloud cover will continue as cold air falls through the weekend. There should be more sunshine for the return to work and school next week as highs will rise into the upper 60s to lower 70s. Here's your 7-day forecast: Be careful in the fog, but enjoy the warmer days ahead! – Devon
