Warm and Muggy With Some Drizzle Today

...Dense Fog Advisory Until 10 AM...

 Short Term Forecast:  We have a mostly cloudy, warm, muggy and foggy start to this Tuesday across the Capital City.  Visibilities are less than 1/4 mile in some areas, so please use caution!  Temperatures are in the lower 70s.

The clouds look like they will stick around today just like yesterday.  This will keep us from getting too warm.  Some drizzle or mist will be possible throughout the afternoon as well as moisture continues to be drawn up from the Gulf of Mexico.  High temperatures will be in the lower 80s.

More clouds and dense fog can be expected tonight along with some mist or drizzle.  It will remain muggy with lows in the lower 70s.

Week Ahead:  Expect to have a mix of sun and clouds on Wednesday with a few showers popping up.  It will stay warm and humid with highs in the mid 80s and lows in the lower 70s.

Much of Thursday will have some pretty quiet weather with partly to mostly cloudy skies as a cold front moves closer to Louisiana.  Some isolated showers or thunderstorms may try to pop-up during the afternoon.  Highs will be in the lower 80s.

The weather is expected to get rough on Thursday Night as the cold front moves into Baton Rouge.  A squall line of thunderstorms is forecast to develop to our west and move into town by Friday Morning.  Some of these storms are expected to become strong to severe.  Damaging winds and large hail will be possible along with the chance of a tornado.  Lows will fall to the upper 50s.

We will have the scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms on Friday Morning until the cold front pushes through the city.  Then we will have some lingering showers that will end by the afternoon hours.  The skies are expected to clear by Friday Evening.  High temperatures will be MUCH COOLER as they only climb into the lower 70s.  Friday Night will be mostly clear and MUCH COLDER with lows in the mid 40s. Brrr!!

Weekend Outlook:  An area of high pressure will build in behind the cold front all weekend.  This will make for some gorgeous sunny skies on Saturday and Sunday.  It will stay cooler with highs in the lower to mid 70s and lows in the upper 40s to lower 50s.

Get ready for another muggy day.  Have a nice one! -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
