A cold front will move through the region tonight into early Saturday morning accompanied by a few showers. Lingering moisture behind the cold front may produce a brief period of light snow or flurries early Sunday morning (less than a 10% chance) across south central Louisiana. A light freeze is expected across the entire region away from the immediate coastline Saturday night into Sunday morning. Wind chills will be in the low to mid 20s. Breezy winds and low humidity behind the cold front will produce favorable conditions for wildfire development Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
