New Orleans - Weather over New Year's
A couple friends and I are heading to New Orleans for a week over the New Year holiday. We want to do a couple of walking tours and plan to use walking and public transportation to get around. What is the weather like? I've read 50's and 60's this time of year. That seems warm to those of us from the Midwest, but I am thinking sweaters and a jacket will still be needed. Recommendations??? Thank you!

Dear americaine,
You are asking for a weather forecast almost one month in advance. Please keep in mind the National Weather Service has trouble with tomorrow's weather.
That said, I accept the challenge!!
You will have some rain....some sun...a breeze now and then, and occasional clouds. There is no threat of Hurricanes as that season ended the end of November.
I really hope this helps. If you are smart (??), I would plan on wearing layers and checking the forecast a day or two prior to your trip for some very general forecasts.

Thanks, Mr. Weather. Layering I will do. That's what I was thinking. I just have the feeling that my friends will not only ditch their heavy winter coats, but also be packing their sandals and shorts at the sounds of 60 degree weather. I'll be sure they add some layers and rain gear. THANKS!

I've been there twice at that time of year.
The first time, several people in our group left coats at home and we had cold, wet weather. I remember someone ended up buying a coat.
The next time, it was chilly, but sunny, so a sweater sufficed.
New Orleans is so damp that the thermometer doesn't have to go too low before you feel cold.
