Get ready for more frigid temperatures. LSU Health Climatologist Barry Keim says another arctic air mass moves into the state, and temperatures will drop like a rock later on Friday.
“By Saturday morning temperatures will be in the 20s statewide, we are looking at low 20s across northern parishes, mid-20s in central Louisiana and only high 20s even in coastal parishes,” Keim said.
Keim says it will also be very windy on Saturday.
“We are talking 10-20 mph sustained winds across most of Louisiana that could gust up to 30-miles per hour plus and we are looking at wind chills across Louisiana, certainly in the teens, even dipping into the single digits in some locations,” Keim said.
Keim says low temperatures on Sunday will also be in the 20s, but at least it will be less windy on Sunday.
“I don’t think it will be quite as a miserable, but these are brutal temperatures, with lows on Sunday morning ranging from the low-to-mid 20s,” Keim said
