Very Hot and Humid With Some Storms On Father's Day Weekend

Short Term Forecast:  Good Friday Afternoon!  Whew...it sure is HOT!  Right now it is 94° with a heat index of 105° in Baton Rouge.  We have some isolated showers & t'storms popping up along a cold front & sea breeze.  Some of the storms could become strong to possibly severe with gusty winds & heavy rain.  Temperatures will stay in the lower to mid 90s and the heat index 100° to 110°.  Please be sure to drink plenty of water and try to stay in the A/C today!


The storms will end tonight and we will be left with mainly clear skies.  It will be a few degrees "cooler" with lows in the lower 70s vs. upper 70s this morning.

Father's Day Weekend:  An area of high pressure will sit over us on Saturday and this will give us partly cloudy skies with only one or two pop-up storms.  It will be very hot & humid with highs in the mid 90s.  The heat index will still be around 105° at times!

Sunday, Father's Day, will still be very hot and humid, but we will have a little better chance of some isolated storms popping up.  This is thanks to moisture returning in the upper-levels of the atmosphere.  We will have highs in the mid 90s with the heat index around 105°.

Next Week Outlook:  Monday is shaping up to be a pretty dry day with only a storm or two possible, but it will be hot with highs in the mid 90s and lows in the mid 70s.


More unsettled weather is expected Tuesday through Friday.  Each day will be partly cloudy with isolated showers and storms as a weak trough of low pressure and cold front move toward Louisiana.  They won't get to Baton Rouge, but will be close enough to set off some storms.  This will bring a little relief to the heat with daily highs in the lower 90s and lows in the lower 70s.

Tropical Outlook:  All is quiet in the tropics, and it will stay that way through the weekend.  Forecast models are hinting at a tropical wave moving out of the Caribbean into the Bay of Campeche late next week, but it does not look like it will impact Louisiana.


I hope all the Dads out there, including mine, have a great Father's Day Weekend! -Dave

With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems
of plagorism or copyright violation? My site
has a lot of unique content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any techniques to help reduce content from being stolen? I'd genuinely 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
