Louisiana is bracing for a classic summer swing: a dose of wet weather to start the week, followed by increasingly muggy, storm‑triggering heat by the weekend. Here’s how to make the most of your plans—and stay weather-smart from Baton Rouge to New Orleans.

☔ Wet Start

Expect scattered showers or thunderstorms from late morning through the afternoon today. These storms may bring sudden downpours, gusty winds, and frequent lightning—don’t let the humidity fool you, rain could surprise you mid-day.

🌤 Midweek Warm-Up

By Wednesday through Thursday, humidity remains high with partly sunny skies. Afternoon storms are still possible, but their impact will wane. Lounging poolside? Fine—just keep an eye on radar for pop-up showers.

🔥 Weekend Onset

Come Friday into the weekend, brace for full summer mode—humidity surging, heat spiking, and afternoon pop‑up storms becoming a pattern. Expect highs hovering in the low‑90s, with heat index values flirting with 100°F. It’s the classic bayou summer stew.
