A mild day with cooler temperatures tomorrow



Short Term Forecast:  We have a mostly clear to partly cloudy start to this Monday as some high clouds stream over South Louisiana.  It is a little chilly with temperatures in the upper 30s to lower 40s.  You will want to take that jacket with you this morning.

A cold front will move into and through Baton Rouge today.  This front will not have any moisture to work with, so we will not have any rain this afternoon.  Just look for those high clouds to continue to move over Baton Rouge.  We will have a mild day with highs in the mid 60s.

There will still be a few clouds lingering around tonight, so expect mostly clear skies.  It will still be a bit chilly with lows in the upper 30s.

Week Ahead:  High pressure will build in behind the front on Tuesday.  This will give us mostly sunny skies and some cooler temperatures too.  Highs will be around 60.  Tuesday Night will be clear and chilly with lows in the upper 30s.

The high pressure will start to move to the east of Louisiana on Wednesday.  This will keep us sunny, but the temperatures will start to warm up as highs will climb into the upper 60s.  Wednesday Night will not be as chilly with lows in the upper 40s.

Even warmer weather is on tap for Thursday with the high pressure sitting along the East Coast.  We will see more southerly winds and they will draw up moisture from the Gulf of Mexico.  Therefore it will be partly cloudy, and more humid with unseasonably warm highs in the lower 70s.  Thursday Night will be mostly cloudy and we could have some patchy fog along with a couple showers popping up.  Lows will be in the mid 50s.

The cold front will move through Baton Rouge on Friday with scattered showers and thunderstorms.  A few of them could be strong with gusty winds and heavy rain.  It will be warm and humid ahead of the front with highs in the mid 70s.  The front will be east and south of Louisiana on Friday Night.  The rain/storms will end and we will become clear and cold.  Lows will be in the upper 30s.

Weekend Outlook:  High pressure will sit over Louisiana on Saturday and it will give us plenty of sunny skies.  It will be much cooler with highs in the upper 50s.  Saturday Night will be clear and cold with a light freeze possible.  Lows will be in the lower 30s. 

Sunday will be another nice day as the high pressure quickly moves to th east of Louisiana.  It will be partly cloudy and warmer with highs in the lower 60s and lows in the upper 30s.

Enjoy the pleasant weather and have a great 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
