More pleasant and warmer weather today in Baton Rouge


Short Term Forecast:  We begin this Tuesday with a few clouds and chilly temperatures in the mid 40s.  Better take that coat with you again this morning.

If you liked the weather yesterday then you will like it again today!  Expect plenty of mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies this afternoon as a cold front moves through.  This front will remain dry, so all we will see will be the clouds.  It will stay warm with high temperatures in the lower 70s. 

We will still have a chill in the air tonight with mostly clear skies.  Low temperatures will dip into the upper 40s.

Wednesday is shaping up to be another gorgeous day with plenty of sunshine as high pressure sits over the Deep South.  It is going to remain warm with highs in the mid 70s.  Wednesday Night will be clear and a little chilly with lows in the upper 40s.

Thanksgiving Day:  More warm and delightful weather is on tap!  We will be mostly sunny with high temperatures in the mid 70s and lows in the upper 40s.  You can't really ask for better weather for Turkey Day! 

Black Friday:  Those of you that will go out really early in the morning to get that great deal will need to take that jacket with you.  It will be a chilly start to the day with temperatures in the upper 40s.  However, it will warm up nicely in the afternoon with partly to mostly cloudy skies as a cold front moves into and through Baton Rouge.  A sprinkle or two will be possible, but most of you will not see any rain.  Highs will be in the mid 70s.  Friday Night will be mostly clear and chilly with lows in the mid 40s.

Weekend Outlook:  An area of high pressure will sit over Louisiana on Saturday and it will become much cooler.  We will be sunny with a high in the mid 60s.  Saturday Night will be clear and cold with lows near 40.
The area of high pressure will quickly move to the east of Louisiana on Sunday.  We will have mostly sunny skies and it is going to stay cool with highs in the upper 60s.  Sunday Night will be mostly cloudy with isolated showers popping up as a strong cold front moves closer to Baton Rouge.  Lows will be in the upper 40s.

Tropical Outlook:  Everything remains quiet in the tropics and tropical cyclone formation is not expected through Wednesday.

Get out and enjoy the delightful weather.  Have a good 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...

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 ...

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...
