Short Term Forecast: We have a much warmer and slightly more humid start to this Monday. The skies are partly to mostly cloudy and there is some patchy fog. Temperatures are in the lower 60s.
The warm and more humid air mass will stay over Baton Rouge today thanks to winds coming out of the southeast as an area of high pressure sits over us in the mid to upper levels. This will lead to partly cloudy skies along with a spotty shower or two. High temperatures will be in the lower 80s.
Some clouds will stick around overnight and it will be a little muggy. Some patchy fog is also possible. Low temperatures will be in the lower 60s.
Week Ahead: The warm and humid air mass will stay over us on Tuesday and Wednesday as the mid to upper-level ridge stays over us. This will continue to give us partly cloudy skies and warm high temperatures in the mid 80s. Lows will be in the mid 60s each night with some lingering clouds.
The weather will be going downhill on Thursday, Halloween. A strong trough of low pressure will send a cold front toward Louisiana. Scattered showers and storms will form ahead and along the front during the day. Then a second round of showers and storms will move through Baton Rouge on Thursday Night into Friday Morning as an area of low pressure is forecast to form along the front and move to the northeast. These storms could be strong to possibly severe at times with damaging winds being the greatest threat along with some heavy rain. High temperatures will be in the lower 80s before the front moves in Thursday, and low temperatures will be in the upper 60s on Thursday Night.
There will be some lingering showers on Friday as the cold front will be still sitting over us. During the day another disturbance will move over Louisiana from the north and this will push the cold front to the east of us. We will become partly cloudy by the afternoon/evening hours. Highs will be in the upper 70s. Friday Night will be mostly clear and much cooler with lows near 50.
Weekend Outlook: An area of high pressure will build over the Southeast U.S. Saturday and Sunday. This will make for some beautiful sunny weather. It will also cool us down with highs in the mid 70s during the day. Each night will be clear and chilly again with lows in the upper 40s.
Tropical Outlook: Everything is quiet in the tropics and it will stay that way through Wednesday.
Get ready for some warmer weather and have a great Monday! -Dave
