I’ve never gotten an answer as to whether the official Front Day temperature is measured from MSY, Lakefront, or the precipice of Mother’s a-hole.
Thinking Mother has called an incorrect Front Day anyways. Odds of getting below 60 south of the lake are low.

Wait, are you a TulaneLSU alter? Because that would make SO much sense.

Actually the rules are Mother’s. TulaneLSU just follows them.

This is what he posted in his Front Day thread last year:
Sunny skies
Dew point in the 50s or below
A high below 80
A low below 60
A Saturday

Saturday
High below 80
Low below 60
Dewpoints below 50
Mother feeling frisky and wanting to mix it up with a local pastor after a few hot chocolates.

This Saturday will NOT be Front Day. I don’t care what anyone says.
I follow Mother’s rules.

Still got love for T/LSU and mum.

Front Day only occurs in New Orleans and it is a celebration of the end of the tropical season. It is marked by the consumption of drinking chocolates. While outdoor celebrations may take place during the day, the merrymakings of chocolate and hymn singing occur at night, indoors. Hymns, fellowship, and hot chocolate are a perfect pairing, and I cannot see how you can celebrate Front Day without them.
These celebratory rituals are difficult to partake in on a weekday with everyone’s work schedule which is why Front Day must be a Saturday.

Dear Friends,
I write to you on Front Day Eve. What an exciting night that approaches the excitement of Christmas Eve. We were ever so close to having an early Front Day this year, but close does not cut it. This year, more than any other year, proves that we should all listen to Mother when it comes to weather. She always said, “Front Day is one of our most special days. It is a sign that God again is with us, not that God ever left us. It is a sign that the city has prevailed through another tropical season. Advent is near and hurricanes are in our rear. Let us rejoice and drink hot chocolate!” I could not say it better.
As you well know, the definition of Front Day is the first Saturday in New Orleans after a long and hot summer. The weather must be sunny. The high should be in the 70s and a low must be 60 or lower. The dew point will be in the 50s or lower. Usually there is a wind with a northern component. On some Front Days, it feels like it is the first time in months you can go outside and suck in a full breath of fresh and clean air. Although I predicted an early Front Day this year, for the fifth time in six years, Front Day is quite late again. I am grateful it did not wait until November. And it is Halloween! Front Day, since its inception three decades ago, has never fallen on Halloween. Nor has it ever followed a hurricane passing over our city. Thank you, God, that our city was spared from severe damage just two days ago. What a day Front Day will be this year! We, as I hope you, will be celebrating tomorrow with an enormous mug of hot chocolate.

Friend,
Front Day is not on the radar yet. I suspect fourth week of October, but that is pure speculation. Take a look back at previous Front Days:
1911: October 18 (77/53)
1912: October 24 (79/50)
1913: October 13 (79/56)
1914: October 15 (69/53)
1915: October 8 (74/56)
1916: September 30 (73/52)
1917: October 9 (77/51)
1918: September 21 (73/51)
1919: November 3 (78/54)
1920: September 30 (79/49)
1921: October 4 (79/59)
1922: October 9 (70/54)
1923: October 20 (68/50
1924: September 30 (71/53)
1925: October 20 (73/48)
1926: October 2 (79/58)
1927: September 23 (78/55)
1928: October 19 (78/58)
1929 October 21 (76/57)
1998: October 10 (75/56)
1999: October 23 (72/57)
2000: October 7 (71/56)
2001: October 20 (79/56)
2002: November 2 (66/53)
2003: November 15 (80/50)
Mother projected a high of 78 this day, but the mercury rose to 80. It was the only time in 25 years she has failed accurately to predict Front Day. We still had a brilliant Front Day, even with the warmer than normal temperature. It was a very good thing we celebrated on this day because the next day that met Front Day parameters was December 27.
2004: November 6 (71/47)
2005: October 29 (71/49)
2006: October 28 (69/54)
2007: October 27 (70/55)
2008: October 25 (77/52)
2009: October 17 (67/54)
2010: October 30 (76/50)
2011: October 22 (75/53)
2012: October 27 (64/53)
2013: October 26 (74/51) The week before met the temperature definitions, but it also was a rainy day.
2014: October 4 (73/57)
2015: November 14 (67/57)
2016: October 22 (75/57)
2017: November 11 (72/54)
2018: October 27 (75/55)
2019: October 26 (79/57)
2020: October 31 (70/52)
2021: October 30 (68/53)
2022: October 22 (79/56)
2023: November 4
The earliest Front Day in the last decade was October 22. Mother has not even mentioned it yet.
Yours,
TulaneLSU

I've seriously googled "Front Day New Orleans" several times in recent years thinking you all grew up with some Louisiana tradition I'd never heard of

Quite incredibly the most boring, plagiarizing poster on this forum.
