Warmer With Plenty of Sunshine Today

Short Term Forecast:  We have a clear morning across the Capital City.  It is a little cool with temperatures in the 50s.  You may want that jacket as you head out the door.

Expect a gorgeous day all around the Baton Rouge area.  An area of high pressure remains over us, and that will allow for plenty of sunny skies today.  It will become warmer with highs in the mid 80s.

We'll have another comfortable night with mostly clear skies.  It will still be a little cool with low temperatures in the upper 50s.

Week Ahead:  The area of high pressure will move east of Louisiana on Wednesday, and that will allow for the winds to start pumping in more humid air from the Gulf.  We will be partly cloudy, warm and humid with highs in the lower to mid 80s.  Wednesday Night will have a few clouds with lows in the lower 60s.

A weak upper-level low will move from the Southwest U.S. into the Southeast U.S. on Thursday.  It will be moving into some dry air aloft, but moist air at the surface.  This is different from the low last week that had moisture aloft and at the surface.  That means this upper-level low will not have as much moisture to work with, and we will only have a slight chance of seeing a shower pop-up.  Otherwise, it will be partly cloudy, very warm and humid.  Highs will be in the mid 80s.  Thursday Night will be partly cloudy and muggy with lows in the mid 60s.

The low will move east of Louisiana on Friday, but we will still have some partly cloudy skies.  It stays very warm and humid with highs in the mid 80s and lows in the mid 60s.

Weekend Outlook:  Another ridge of high pressure will move over Louisiana this weekend.  This will give us mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies each day.  We will stay very warm, if not almost hot, Saturday and Sunday.  Due to this, we could see a stray shower or storm pop-up in the afternoon with the heating of the day.  This would be similar to what we would see in the Summer.  Highs will be in the upper 80s and lows in the upper 60s.

Be sure to get out and enjoy the warm weather.  Have a great day! -Dave

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

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

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
