WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT
WIND CHILL ADVISORY IN EFFECT
HARD FREEZE WARNING IN EFFECT
DISCUSSION
A couple rounds of moisture will be moving in for Monday/Monday night.
The first round will likely fall as light rain for most of us as temperatures will be above freezing...with the exception of a few locations north of I-10 where pockets of light freezing rain will likely fall.
As temperatures quickly drop Monday evening/night, a thin band of precip. will work in to where areas farther south could get in on a little light freezing rain.
We're still not expecting any significant ice accumulations nor impacts--now could there be some slippery spots on bridges and overpasses early Tuesday morning? Sure, but mainly for northern Acadiana and CenLa.
BRUTALLY COLD conditions will be the bigger story here.
Lows Tuesday morning will be in the low-mid 20s area wide.
Gusty northerly winds will put wind chills in the lower teens and even single digits for some spots.
I am optimistic temperatures will get above freezing briefly Tuesday afternoon as skies turn mostly sunny.
Lows Wednesday morning will be in the upper teens and lower 20s.
A WIND CHILL advisory will be in effect for Tuesday morning and again for Wednesday morning.
Dress in layers if heading out.
Some additional info from the NWS... There will be a prolonged period of time where temperatures will remain at or below freezing.
Thus, exposed pipes need to be insulated and protected for this event.
