Every year around this time, I celebrate my anniversary in New Orleans and my time at WWL. This city has a way of getting under your skin in the best way. The music, the food, the history, the people, it all wraps around you until you cannot imagine being anywhere else. I am so grateful.

Behind Erin there is a new spot to watch in thr Atlantic. It doesn’t look like much for a big part of this upcoming week. We will watch closely by next weekend! No threat from this anytime soon, but we’ll monitor. Hopefully it goes out to sea too, but we don’t really know yet.

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 16/08/2025

BREAKING: just unbelievable. Erin becomes a powerful Category 5 hurricane. the storm went from a Tropical Storm Friday morning to a Cat 5 Saturday morning. The current track still keeps it away from land. It will produce giant waves and rough seas along the East Coast next week.

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

Finally! After a blistering hot day, rain is moving in this evening! More passing showers will keep the heat less intense through the rest of the week. Thank the tropical disturbance moving through the Gulf.

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 05/05/2025

High-res models are still showing a flood threat for Tuesday night. A large area of slow moving rain moves in Tuesday evening and lasts into the night. Models show totals between 2-5 inches with isolated amounts over 6-12 inches. Flood Watch in effect from Tuesday night until Thursday evening.

073

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

Not done! More rain forming and moving in. Expect heavy showers and thunderstorms through the noon hour. Watch for street flooding.

010

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

Heads up! Scattered thunderstorms are expected Monday morning. A few may slow down the morning drive. The threats of severe weather and flooding are low, but there is a marginal risk.

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

WET SUNDAY: Hate to report this, but Sunday looks wet and chilly. The latest data still shows high chance for rain Sunday morning, afternoon and evening. At times rain will be steady. Temps will be mostly in the 40s.

020

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

HEAVY RAIN: Before the cold air arrives there will be heavy rain Tuesday evening into early Wednesday. Expect 1-3 inches of rain. The risk for severe weather is low but slightly elevated the closer to the coast. Freeze for most by Wednesday night!

040

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 15/02/2025

SEVERE WEATHER: Heads up for Saturday night. A line of severe storms will roll in between 10pm-1 am. There could be a few isolated storms around for the parades but the main line of storms will hold off until closer to the midnight hour. Risk for damaging winds and tornadoes.

044

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

BREAKING: Tornado Watch until 8 pm for the area.

021

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

UPGRADE: We now have an enhanced risk for a few strong tornadoes for areas north of the lake. Timing: a few severe storms this afternoon lasting into this evening. Stay weather aware!

014

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

We aren’t done with the cold weather just yet! Expect the chill to return Sunday amd last into ealry next week. There is a light freeze potential north of I-10 (and I-12) Monday morning.

030

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

WEATHER IMPACT ALERT: Severe storms are possible Wednesday afternoon/evening. Storms could produce gusty winds, isolated tornadoes and heavy rain. Another round of storms is expected later Saturday.

Yesterday was insane. As a snow lover, I'm not complaining, but we'll be back to normal soon. Make the most of these snow days. Who knows when we'll get another chance! Thanks for following along the past few days as this historic event unfolded.

I’m framing this. A once in a lifetime moment in the French Quarter.

Glad to see New Orleanians don’t rush to get milk during a winter storm but all the andouille sausage was gone 😂😂

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

Still looks like this could be a once in a lifetime event for some. Adjusting snow totals based on snowier. Went a little higher for southshore. A few spots could overperform in heavy snow bands. That's where 10" isn't impossible just hard to say for sure where that would happen. Dangerous travel

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

Here is my first take on snow/sleet accumulation. These numbers could easily change. If air is cold enough and most falls as snow then you can increase these numbers. Event starts late Monday nigh and ends Tuesday night. Icy roads Tue morning - Wednesday morning.

041

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

WINTER STORM WATCH: There is an increasing chance for significant impacts from sleet,snow and maybe ice next Tuesday for areas in blue. Timing could be as early as Monday night with the biggest accumulation potential on Tuesday. Impacts to roads would likely be an issue Wednesday morning as well.

1137

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 17/01/2025

Data continues to show an impactful winter storm next Tuesday across the Gulf Coast. It's too early to talk specifics like accumulation, but confidence is growing we see snow/sleet. Travel could be quite a mess Tuesday/Wednesday. Here are initial thoughts. Changes likely!

162

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 17/01/2025

Look it's hard to not get excited if you're a snow lover. A lot of data shows snow next Tuesday, but use caution. Yes the chance has increased for a winter storm, but the storm system is still days away and models will likely adjust some. There is a fine line between snow, ice,rain.

1135

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

European ensemble still says chance of wintry mix Tuesday and has shifted toward Gulf Coast. Models more aggressive this round. Will see if continues with further updates. Still not locked in. We have 5 days of model correcting possible. Errors could be quite high.

000

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

Here's what we know: It's going to be cold next week. Exact numbers will shift around, but the cold is coming. We don't know who sees ice/snow next week, but the chance is there across the south. Follow along as we track this Siberian air mass headed into the US.

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

Warm weather lovers look away. I don’t see any prolonged warm up anytime soon.This week it’s chilly but next week the coldest air of the season tries to slide south. Too soon to know where snow/ice might fall and exact temperatures but winter is staying locked in.

1216

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

It’ll be a cold, rainy night with strong winds gusting 30-40 mph inland and 50 mph in the Gulf. Expect a nasty Friday morning drive. Most 1-2 inches of rain.

A winter wonderland in north Texas! I want a snow day so badly. Taken in Archer City

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Wind chill could stay in the 20s and 30s all day Monday, Gulf Coast! 🥶 🥶 🥶

073

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

Our first long period of cold air this season is coming. It’s likely New Orleans stays in the 30s and 40s for nearly an entire week. A freeze for all is possible starting Monday night. Get ready 🥶

I'm grateful for another year of life. Thank you for the birthday love!

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 28/12/2024

Significant severe weather expected across the south today. Timing will be now lasting into tonight. Storms are already firing up & we will continue to see a threat until midnight or so. Tornadoes, damaging winds and hail are all on the table. Stay weather aware and have a tornado plan ready.

031

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 27/12/2024

HEADS UP: There is an enhanced risk for tornadoes Saturday afternoon into Saturday night. A few strong tornadoes are possible in the hatched area. Timing: A few severe storms possible Saturday afternoon, but widespread storms expected Saturday evening.

Here it is, your Christmas forecast. Expect the winter chill to return by Thursday and last until just before Christmas. I do see a warming trend leading up to Christmas Day, so for now we'll call for low 70s with a chance of for a few showers. No cold Christmas this year :(

Final days of fall in New Orleans. The trees are starting to change

Payton Malone @paytonmalonewx.bsky.social · 13/12/2024

All signs point to a big cold front late next week. This round of cold air could be our coldest yet and stick around for many days. Too early to say for sure, but if we time it out just right we might still have some cool weather for Christmas.

Heavy rain could lead to flooding Monday. More rounds of rain into Tuesday before turning colder and drying out Wednesday.
