NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — A chance for strong to potentially severe storms Monday afternoon, June 9 as temperatures climb into the upper 80s and low 90s.

The chance for rain sticks around for the rest of the week with the highest chance on Wednesday. Soggy conditions continue for Southeast Louisiana.

There are currently no disturbances in the Atlantic and that continues for the next seven days.

There is currently activity in the Eastern Pacific with Tropical Storm Barbara and Tropical Storm Cosme, both located in the eastern Pacific basin off the coast of southwestern Mexico.
