Foggy Mornings With Unseasonably Warm Temperatures This Week

Our quiet weather pattern continues today as an area of high pressure stays over the Northern Gulf of Mexico. Once the fog dissipates, we will be partly cloudy and warm with highs in the lower 80s. More dense fog is likely tonight with mostly clear skies. Lows will be in the 60s.

Wednesday and Thursday will also be unseasonably warm and humid with more dense fog each morning. Highs will be in the lower 80s and lows will be in the 60s.

Our weather pattern will start to break down on Friday ahead of a cold front. We will have more clouds and isolated showers over the region. It does stay warm with highs around 80. Some rain and storms will return on Friday Night with lows in the 60s.

Saturday will be mostly cloudy with scattered showers and storms. Some of the storms could be strong ahead and along the cold front. It is possible that a squall line will form west of us and move through during the evening hours. Right now, the main threat would be strong winds. I will have to see how this system evolves throughout the week. By Friday, I will have a better idea on the timing and strength of the storms. Highs will be in the upper 70s. The rain and storms will continue into Saturday Night with lows in the 60s.

As of right now, the rain looks to come to an end on Sunday Morning. We will then be partly cloudy, but we will not cool down behind the front. Highs will be around 80.

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
