Scorching Heat With Some Storms on Friday

Short Term Forecast:  It is another toasty afternoon/evening across the Baton Rouge area.  We have partly cloudy skies with only a spotty storm possible through the evening.  Temperatures are in the lower 90s, but will fall to the upper 80s through 8 PM.

A weak cold front will push toward the city tonight.  It will bring us partly cloudy skies with a chance of seeing a shower or storm overnight/early Friday Morning.  We will stay very muggy with lows in the mid 70s.

Friday will have partly cloudy skies with isolated showers and storms as the cold front moves toward the Coast.  Some of the storms could be strong to possibly severe with gusty winds and heavy rain.  Even though the cold front will push through town, it will NOT cool us down.  We will stay hot and very humid with highs in the mid 90s and the heat index will be around 100 to 105.

What is left of the dissipating cold front will be along the Louisiana Coast on Friday Night.  We will have mostly clear to partly cloudy skies in Baton Rouge.  Again, we will not cool down with this front, so it will stay muggy with lows in the lower to mid 70s.


Father's Day Weekend:  It will be quite oppressive with the heat all weekend.  An area of high pressure will build back over Louisiana and this will keep the weather pretty quiet...and HOT!  Saturday and Sunday will have partly cloudy skies with highs in the mid 90s and the heat index will be around 105 each day.  Expect warm and muggy weather each night with lows in the mid 70s.

Tropical Outlook:  All is still quiet!  See the graphic below...


Keep cool, stay hydrated and have a nice night! -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
