SUMMARY: A First Warning Weather Alert is in effect for tomorrow night, with severe storms expected, including gusty winds and a low chance of weak, short-lived tornadoes. While a line of storms will move through Southeast Louisiana late Saturday night into early Sunday, the tornado threat is minimal and short-lived. Heavy rain and gusty winds are the primary threats. The North Shore could experience storms as early as 6 PM, with New Orleans around midnight. After the storms, cooler temperatures and north winds will bring a potential freeze Monday morning. Another cold front and storm are expected by Tuesday night.

Meteorologist Devon Lucie tracks and times a line of severe storms showing you when they arrive where you are and what the threats will be, then breaks down the timing even more an what severe threat you’re most likely to encounter along with how warm and how windy it will be before the storms arrive, then how much colder it gets behind the front, and finishes with your seven day forecast pointing out and even colder blast of air showing you when it’s here and how cold you’ll get.

SUMMARY: A tropical wave near Africa is emerging over the Atlantic but remains disorganized. The National Hurricane Center gives it a 60% chance to develop into a depression or tropical storm, possibly becoming Gabrielle. This system may move northward, staying over the open Atlantic and away from the Gulf, posing no immediate threat. Since the last named storm in late August, stable air, dry conditions, and increased wind shear have suppressed tropical activity in the Atlantic. The next storm names are Gabrielle, Humberto, and Imelda, with only the current wave showing potential for development at this time.

Meteorologist Alexandra Cranford tracks a lone disturbance with a chance of development on Saturday night, September 13, 2025.
