I’m going to New Orleans this weekend and I’m so excited. While spring is just starting in the DC area, the weather has long been warming up in Nola. The first thing I always do when packing for a trip is check the weather (duh, right). For this weekend I’m looking at thunderstorms Friday through Sunday (yay) before the forecast switches to partly cloudy. All weekend it should be warm with highs around 80 and lows around 65.A good formula includes a light hooded jacket, shoes that are comfortable for walking, light basics for layering and flowy dresses. Since spring weather is temperamental I’ll include one pair of jeans just in case. If you scroll to the bottom of this post, I’ve made an easy checklist so you won’t forget anything while you pack!
