NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - The summer-like weather is here to stay until a pattern shift next week. Spotty storms are likely with around a 30% coverage of our area. That means you have a good chance of getting missed. But if you find yourself under a storm, it could be strong to severe. Large hail, gusty winds, and heavy downpours are possible. The weekend will carry heat and isolated storms. It’s best to keep an eye on the radar with any outdoor plans, but the heat and humidity may be your biggest impact.
