Still chilly today, Freeze Warning tonight, but warming up tomorrow


...Freeze Warning from Midnight tonight to 9 AM Thursday...

 Short Term Forecast:  Better bundle up this morning as you head out the door!  We have partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the mid to upper 30s.  BRRR!! 

The clouds will break up today and it will become mostly sunny.  This is due to the upper-level moisture moving to the east of Louisiana.  We will still be chilly with highs in the upper 50s. 

Get ready for some freezing temperatures tonight and stay bundled up!!  We will be clear with calm winds and the low temperatures will fall into the lower 30s.  Patchy frost is expected to cover any plants or bring them inside!!  The NWS has issued a Freeze Warning from Midnight tonight until 9 AM Thursday due to threat for freezing temperatures for an extended period of time.

Week Ahead:  An area of high pressure will remain over us on Thursday and that will make for a beautiful day with sunny skies.  It will be a little warmer with highs in the lower 60s.  Thursday Night will be clear and cold with lows in the upper 30s.

Friday is going to be a transition day from the nice weather to some rainy weather this weekend.  Expect partly cloudy skies with warmer high temperatures in the upper 60s.  Friday Night will be mostly cloudy and we could see a shower pop-up late.  Lows will be much warmer too as they only fall to the lower 50s.

Weekend Forecast:  Forecast models are showing that we will have a dreary and soggy weekend.  Another cold front is forecast to move into Baton Rouge and that will bring us some rain and thunderstorms.  Saturday will be mostly cloudy with isolated showers developing during the day.  It will be warmer and more humid with highs in the lower 70s.  Saturday Night is forecast to have mostly cloudy skies with isolated showers.  Lows will be in the mid 50s.

The cold front will move into Baton Rouge on Sunday now and that will bring us scattered showers with a few thunderstorms.  We will stay warm and humid with highs in the lower 70s.  Sunday Night will still be mostly cloudy with the scattered showers and storms continuing.  Lows will be in the lower 50s.

Enjoy the return of the sun, bundle up and have a great 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...
