Get ready, y'all. The cold front is still making it way toward south Louisiana.

The National Weather Service said Monday morning that the much-ballyhooed front dive through the Gulf of Mexico and start to cool temperatures Tuesday.

"This is a fairly rare occurrence for this time of year," the NWS said in its daily forecast discussion. "... We normally see these move through highly modified and they cause things to heat up quite a bit. This air will be modified, but it will keep enough of the cool air to keep the area nice."

What does it all mean for temperatures and rain chances?

There's about a 60% chance of showers and storms through Tuesday across south Louisiana.

By Tuesday night, Baton Rouge and Lafayette and the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain will likely see lows dip into the upper 60s. The south shore of Lake Pontchartrain will see lows in the mid-70s. Those low temperatures will continue through Thursday night.

As for high temperatures, those will stay in the mid-to-upper 80s through Friday. A shot of dry air from the front, forecasters say, will also keep heat indexes for rising too high.

Of course the feel-good air won't last for too long as that cold front will begin moving backward, bringing along deep moisture and high chances for rain for the weekend.

"As what is left of the front moves (back) through the area Friday, a surge of deep moisture will move back into the area bringing with it a sudden rise in (precipitation) numbers once again," forecasters said.
