BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Louisiana is forecasted to have extremely cold weather next week. Meanwhile, the chances of having a winter storm are trending downward. Enjoy the next couple of days of warmer weather because it will quickly become very cold. Extreme cold weather in Louisiana next week 🥶 Monday morning will be very chilly with lows in the 20s. Highs will only be near 40 degrees. Dry weather is expected during the day, but that could change that evening and overnight. There has been some disagreement between models in the latest runs. If a low-pressure wave can develop along the south Texas coast, then it will track northeastward and the moisture with this wave will reach our area. If there is enough moisture to mix with the cold air then we'll have a wintry mix of precipitation between Monday night and Tuesday. Wintry mix means frozen and freezing precipitation like sleet, freezing rain and ice. The latest model runs (mainly the GFS and the Euro) show hardly any rain at all. We'll continue to monitor the latest model runs. The main concern for Louisiana is the next round of Arctic air. Highs will be in the 30s and 40s all next week. Mornings will be very chilly with temperatures in the 20s. How does cold weather impact the Louisiana crawfish industry?
