In a little less than a week we’ll expecting some VERY cold air. REALLY COLD. While at the same time, we could see precipitation moving in. Many of you may have your eyes to next week. Maybe you’re seeing a winter icon on app. Let’s talk about it!Could we see snow in Southeast Louisiana next week? There’s a recipe that’s brewing up next week that could equal that. BUT there’s always a chance that it will not. We know how things go down here. What could happen?There’s a system developing that will bring a huge mass of cold air deep into the Gulf Coast. While that’s happening, low pressure will develop along the coast of Texas. The cold air and the moisture could meet at just the right time, setting us up for either just a cold rain, a wintry mix, or snow!What’s the chances of this happening?We’re still very far away. The longer we extend out into the future, the less accurate the data. If this were for tomorrow, sure! We could have a definite answer. This is for a week out, so things are likely to change A LOT. The track of this system could change. Just like during hurricane season, this low pressure system could track more to the north or more to the south. The smallest difference could mean snow or just a cold rain. We’ll have to watch the temperatures closely. Because we’re along the Gulf, our temperatures could have a really hard time staying cold and maintaining those freezing temperatures. How far down south will the cold air go?What do the models say?GFS Ensemble models show that we are for sure going to be cold enough! Temperatures could be in the 20s and 30s Monday into Tuesday. It also shows that we will have precipitation. The question remains if they’ll actually line up. [/imageIn conclusion, it’s still wayyyy too early to nail anything down for sure. Check back in daily for more details. Each day will look a little different!

What could happen?
There’s a system developing that will bring a huge mass of cold air deep into the Gulf Coast. While that’s happening, low pressure will develop along the coast of Texas. The cold air and the moisture could meet at just the right time, setting us up for either just a cold rain, a wintry mix, or snow!
What’s the chances of this happening?
- We’re still very far away. The longer we extend out into the future, the less accurate the data. If this were for tomorrow, sure! We could have a definite answer. This is for a week out, so things are likely to change A LOT.
- The track of this system could change. Just like during hurricane season, this low pressure system could track more to the north or more to the south. The smallest difference could mean snow or just a cold rain.
- We’ll have to watch the temperatures closely. Because we’re along the Gulf, our temperatures could have a really hard time staying cold and maintaining those freezing temperatures. How far down south will the cold air go?
What do the models say?
GFS Ensemble models show that we are for sure going to be cold enough! Temperatures could be in the 20s and 30s Monday into Tuesday. It also shows that we will have precipitation. The question remains if they’ll actually line up.
