FNUS74 KLIX 180837 FWSLIX Spot Forecast for O-05 S...USFWS National Weather Service New Orleans LA 337 AM CDT Mon May 18 2026 If conditions become unrepresentative, contact the National Weather Service. We can be reached at (985) 649-0357 if you have questions or concerns with this forecast. .DISCUSSION... Fire weather concerns are limited as moisture continues to move back into the area leading to gradually increasing rain chances. Showers and storms should mainly be limited to areas west of the I-55 corridor today and Tuesday, spreading eastward toward the I-59 corridor midweek, and then becoming more area-wide Thursday through the weekend. Over the next 7 days forecast rainfall totals vary from 2-3 inches across northwestern areas to less than an inch for extreme southeast Louisiana and much of the Mississippi coast, though obviously point-specific totals will depend on exact locations of any heavier thunderstorms. For most of the area, for most of the week, minimum humidities are likely to be 60 percent or higher every day. .QUESTIONS... 1) Probability intensity and duration of fog possible Monday night into Tuesday morning Not seeing any strong indications for fog Tuesday morning. Can't rule out some patchy/light ground fog, but the chance of dense fog is very low. 2) Will there be a sea breeze Doesn't appear to be a well-defined seabreeze thanks to persistent/breezy SE winds. Rather, winds pick up mid/late morning and remain out of the southeast through the afternoon/evening without any significant wind shift. .TODAY... Sky/weather.........Partly sunny (60-70 percent).
