A strong cold front will move through the area on Tuesday and usher in the coldest air of the season.
Moisture ahead and along the front will push east across the forecast area Monday night into early Tuesday. Cold temperatures will quickly filter in behind the front.

A wintry mix is possible from Baton Rouge to Washington parish Tuesday morning. Snow accumulation less than 1″ is possible mainly over parts of Walthall county, northern Pearl River county, northern Tangipahoa and Washington parishes and accumulation on elevated objects is possible.
While accumulating snow is not likely in south of Lake Pontchartrain or coastal Mississippi, rain could mix with or briefly change over to snow flurries Tuesday morning before ending yielding no impacts.
Brisk north winds along with cold temperatures will maintain wind chill values in the 20s all day on Tuesday. The coldest temperatures will be Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.
