( #NWSNewOrleans): ❄️ LOW CHANCE of #snow Saturday night.
There’s a LOW CHANCE (around 10–30%) of snow Saturday night across southeast #Louisiana and southern #Mississippi. It won’t take much to cause impacts here, so this is a setup we’ll continue to watch closely into the weekend. #LAwx #MSwx #wx

( #NWSNewOrleans): Here are the annual climate stats for 2025. The biggest story of 2025 in our region was the RECORD #SNOWFALL that impacted the area in January. 7 to 8 inches of snow fell at 3 of our climate sites resulting in daily snowfall records at MSY, GPT, and BTR. #LAwx #MSwx #wx #wxsky
( #NWSNewOrleans): Boy, did it rain yesterday 🌧️ We set a few daily rainfall records at #BatonRouge and #NewOrleans. Thankfully it wasn't one of those rains that fell all at once, rather over a longer period making it more of a much needed rain given ongoing drought conditions. #LAwx #MSwx #wx #wxsky
( #NWSNewOrleans): We’re in the home stretch of the 2025 Atlantic #Hurricane Season. The latest summary map shows a mix of long-track systems most of which RECURVED out in the open Atlantic.

( #NWSNewOrleans): This week is #FogSafetyAwarenessWeek!
DENSE #FOG is one of the most impactful #weather hazards we see across the #UnitedStates particularly for:
🚗 Drivers
⛵️ Mariners
✈️ Aviators
⚠️ DENSE FOG played a role in 5 of the 10 largest multi-vehicle pileups in #USwx history #wx #wxsky
( #NWSNewOrleans): Late Aug–early Sep is often active (Elena ’85, Andrew ’92, Katrina ’05, Gustav ’08, Isaac ’12, Ida ’21).
THIS YEAR, an eastern U.S. trough should steer any systems N/NE — keeping the Gulf closed through the 1st week of Sept. Stay prepared & follow updates. #LAwx #MSwx #wx #wxsky
( #NWSNewOrleans): 🍂🎃 We're seeing some hints of FALL on the horizon with a cooler weather pattern bringing cold fronts thru the eastern #USwx
Typically we don't see these cold fronts push all the way through the Gulf Coast this time of year, but it's a sign that summer is almost over! #wx #wxsky
( #NWSNewOrleans): Formation chances are sitting at 30% this morning (July 14) for the system moving into the Gulf this week
