Short Term Forecast: The cold front that brought us the severe weather last night has pushed into the Gulf of Mexico this morning. We are left with some lingering clouds and temperatures in the 50s.
The clouds will dissipate this afternoon and we will become sunny as high pressure builds in behind the front. It will be much cooler with high temperatures in the mid 60s.
You can expect a pretty chilly night with clear skies across Southeast Louisiana. Low temperatures will dip into the lower 40s. Better take that jacket with you!
Week Ahead: After a chilly start to Wednesday we will have a beautiful afternoon with sunny skies as that high pressure remains to the northwest of Louisiana. Highs will be around 70. Wednesday Night will be clear and cold with a low near 40. BRRR!
Some reinforcing colder air will move in from the north on Thursday. This is due to the Nor' Easter that will be moving up the East Coast. We will have a nice sunny day, but it will be a little cool with highs in the upper 60s. Thursday Night will be clear and chilly with lows in the lower 40s.
Finally some warmer temperatures arrrive on Friday as the northerly winds are replaced with easterly winds. This will give us mostly sunny skies and high temperatures in the mid 70s. Friday Night will be mostly clear and not as chilly with lows in the lower 50s.
Weekend Outlook: More warmer weather is on the way all weekend thanks to winds coming out of the south as high pressure moves east of Louisiana. It will be partly cloudy on Saturday with highs in the upper 70s. Saturday Night will be mostly clear and mild with lows in the upper 50s.
Sunday will have another warm day with partly cloudy skies and we could see some late-day showers popping up. This is in response to a cold front moving toward Louisiana during the day. High temperatures will be in the upper 70s. Sunday Night will be mostly cloudy with isolated showers as the strong cold front moves closer to Baton Rouge. Lows will be in the upper 50s.
Tropical Outlook: All areas of the tropics are quiet and tropical cyclone formation is not expected through Wednesday.
Take your coat with you and have a great day! -Dave
