Despite a cold front and some rainy days surrounding the Mardi Gras holiday in New Orleans, the actual celebration day, Tuesday, Mar. 4, 2014, looks to remain dry.
A cold front will sweep through the area early Monday morning, dropping temperatures into the lower 40s, nearly 10 degrees below the region's normal March temperatures.
It will be a rainy and wet start to the week, as showers and possible thunderstorms roll into the city early Monday afternoon but the chances for showers will decrease into the evening hours. While a shower or two is still possible at night, it's likely that the region will be able to dry out overnight.
Despite drier weather, Fat Tuesday will feel cold as temperatures will only reach the 50s, approximately 15 degrees below the normal average for this time of year.
"It will definitely feel cold with a lot of clouds around," AccuWeather Meteorologist Carl Erickson said.
