NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Warm temperatures and low rain chances will continue to be the theme with the forecast for the next few days.

Temperatures will stay above average through the weekend and the start of next week. Highs are expected to top out in the low to mid 80s, with a few locations farther inland even seeing the upper 80s.

Overnight lows will also be warm as temperatures only drop into the 60s on both sides of Lake Pontchartrain.

A strong cold front is forecast to move through the region late Monday into Tuesday. This front will likely bring some of the coldest air of the season thus far, leading to a chilly Halloween.
