Warmer Weather Returns This Week In Baton Rouge

Short Term Forecast: It is a chilly morning across the Baton Rouge area with mostly clear skies and temperatures in the 40s. Better grab that jacket as you head out the door.

We will have a beautiful afternoon thanks to high pressure sitting over the Southeast U.S. Some high clouds will move across the city today, but that will only make it mostly sunny verses the totally sunny skies we had all weekend. It will become a little warmer with high temperatures in the lower 70s.

Expect a little chill still in the air tonight with mostly clear skies. Low temperatures will be in the mid 40s.

Week Ahead: The area of high pressure will remain over the Southeast U.S. on Tuesday through Thursday. This means we will have very pleasant weather all week. It will also stay warm with daily highs in the lower to mid 70s. There will still be some chilly temperatures at night with lows in the upper 40s.

Thanksgiving Day: It is going to be a fantastic day weather-wise! We will be mostly sunny and warm with highs in the mid 70s and lows will be in the upper 40s.

Black Friday: Any early morning deal shoppers you will want your jacket since the temperatures will be in the 40s, but it will warm up later in the day. A cold front is forecast to move across Baton Rouge later in the day, but it will be dry. Friday Night will be mostly clear and chilly with lows in the upper 40s.

Weekend Outlook: In the wake of the cold front, we will have plenty of sunshine with cooler temperatures. Expect mostly sunny skies on Saturday and Sunday with highs around 70 each day. Low temperatures will be in the mid 40s each night.

Tropical Outlook: All areas of the tropics are quiet and tropical cyclone formation is not expected through Tuesday.

Enjoy the wonderful weather and have a nice day! -Dave

The Unseasonably Cool Weather Continues

Short Term Forecast : It is a very cold morning across the Capital City with clear skies and temperatures in the 30s. A light freeze is expected! I hope that you brought in your plants last night. Take that jacket with you this morning. An area of high pressure remains over the Southeast U.S. today. This will keep us sunny and with the northwest winds over us, we will stay cool. High temperatures will be in the upper 50s. Another freeze is expected tonight for the Baton Rouge area. We will be clear with calm winds and very good radiational cooling. Low temperatures will fall into the upper 20s to lower 30s. The NWS has issued a Freeze Warning for areas along and north of the I-10/12 corridor from 2 AM to 8 AM Wednesday Morning. The freeze could last 2 to 6+ hours and that would be long enough to kill any vegetation. Make sure you bring in your plants or at least cover them tonight! Bundle up! Week Ahead : The area of high pressure will stay put through

Major Snowstorm Headed To Northeast US Tomorrow

For all of my friends and family that live in the Northeast US...here is my latest analysis of the winter storm heading your way on Friday into Saturday: The same area of low pressure that brought the heavy rain and thunderstorms to Louisiana last night and this morning will be moving up the East Coast on Friday. It will get much stronger and become a Nor' Easter that will impact all the major cities from Philly to NYC to Boston as well as inland areas. Delmarva to NJ Coastal Areas : Winter Storm Warning in effect from Friday AM until Saturday AM! It looks like it will start out as a brief period of snow along the coast in the morning then change into a windy rain during the day. Then go to a heavy snow late Friday into Saturday Morning. Snow accumulations of 4-8" are possible. Some minor ice accumulations are possible too. Winds will be sustained around 30+ mph and coastal erosion will be possible too. NE PA : Winter Storm Warning from 10 am Friday until 7 am Sat

Today Is The 5th Anniversary of Hurricane Gustav

Early in the morning on September 1, 2008, Labor Day, Hurricane Gustav made landfall near Cocodrie, LA. It was a strong category 2 hurricane with 110 mph winds. At one point, right before Gustav made landfall over Western Cuba, winds were as high as 150 mph (Category 4). It did weaken as it crossed Cuba, but did regain strength as it sat in the middle of the Gulf as it became a Category 3 storm with winds of 115 mph. This storm became the worst one ever to impact Baton Rouge, LA. Sustained winds around 70 mph with a 91 mph wind gust was reported at Baton Rouge Metro Airport, 108 and 117 mph wind gusts were reported in Houma, LA. That caused significant damage and, at one point, the entire city of Baton Rouge was without power. Hurricane Gustav moved slowly inland and the eastern-edge of the eye wall moved along the Mississippi River into Baton Rouge. It continued northward through West Feliciana & Pointe Coupee Parishes. The worst damage was seen along this line. Area
