NEW ORLEANS — The chilly weather has settled in, but the coldest isn't here just yet. We'll start to see light freezing rain northwest of the area Sunday morning, but we stay above freezing in SE Louisiana with showers possible. 
The Arctic air is forecast to move in by Monday. Models show the day starting in the 50s with temperatures plummeting into the 30s by the afternoon. It's possible some places north of the lake drop below freezing by Monday afternoon. The other important part of the forecast is the timing of the cold air and moisture. Models shows the potential for freezing rain and sleet starting by late Monday morning across parts of the northshore. The trickiest part of the forecast is determining if the cold air gets here before the moisture leaves. If they meet just right we could see ice through Monday afternoon/evening.
