More Storms With Heavy Rain Today

Short Term Forecast:  It is a mostly cloudy morning with isolated showers across Southeast Louisiana.  We have very warm and muggy temperatures in the lower 70s.


You can expect another day today just like we had on Wednesday with scattered showers and thunderstorms.  This is all thanks to some deep tropical moisture moving over Louisiana from the Caribbean and daytime heating.  Some of the rain will be heavy at times and a few storms could be strong with gusty winds.  Highs will be in the upper 80s.

We will be mostly cloudy with a few showers tonight.  It will stay warm and muggy with lows in the lower 70s.

Some drier air aloft will move over Baton Rouge on Friday.  This will limit the amount of rain/storms we will see, but I can't totally take them out of the forecast.  Therefore, we will be partly cloudy with isolated to scattered showers and storms.  It will be hot and humid with highs around 90.  Friday Night will be partly cloudy and sticky with lows in the lower 70s.

Weekend Forecast:  Some of that drier air aloft will stay over us on Saturday.  That will give us the same type of forecast as I'm expecting on Friday - partly cloudy with isolated to scattered afternoon showers and storms.  Highs will be in the upper 80s.  Saturday Night will have some clouds and it will be muggy with lows in the lower 70s.

A cold front will move toward and into Baton Rouge on Sunday.  This will give us a much better chance of showers and thunderstorms.  A few storms could be strong with gusty winds and heavy rain.  High temperatures will be in the mid to upper 80s and lows in the lower 70s with a few showers Sunday Night as the front moves toward the Coast.

Watching the Tropics:  Barbara made landfall last night over Southern Mexico as a hurricane.  It is falling apart today as the remnants drift into the Southwest Gulf of Mexico, or Bay of Campeche.  Now many of you are wondering will the develop again??  Most of the forecast models are showing it meandering over the Bay of Campeche the next few days and not doing much.  However, a few models are showing it moving into the Eastern Gulf later next week and heading toward Florida.  Fortunately, a cold front will be moving over us on Sunday and it will be in the Northern Gulf early next week.  This "could" possibly keep it away from Louisiana, but that is not 100% certain.  At this point it is WAY too early to make a call as for if it will redevelop.  Needless to say, I'll be watching it over the next few days.
  


Also, there is a new rule that the National Hurricane Center has put into effect concerning if a storm comes from the Pacific to the Atlantic Basin and vice-versa!  It states that if it remains a tropical cyclone as it moves over Central America then it will KEEP the original name.  Only if the tropical cyclone dissipates with just a tropical disturbance remaining, will the NHC give the system a new name - assuming it becomes a tropical cyclone once again in the new basin.

Stay tuned!

Keep your umbrella with you and have a nice day! -Dave

I'm amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that's equally
educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head.
The problem is something too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
Now i'm very happy that I found this during my hunt for something concerning this.

Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long)
so I guess I'll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying
your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any points for newbie blog writers? I'd really appreciate it.

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
