A significant cold front moved through the Bayou State leaving us with some much needed relief. State Climatologist Barry Keim says this front has brought in much cooler and drier Canadian air and pushed out the warm Gulf of Mexico air. He says the afternoon highs will be in the 70s in northern parishes and low 80s in the coastal zone.
Keim says this cool weather will stick around all week long. He says we may have broken the back of summer.
Keim says even as temperatures in the 90s subside, expect a warmer than usual autumn.
