Sunny and pleasant weather today

Short Term Forecast: It is a clear, calm and cold start to this Thursday. Temperatures are in the mid to upper 30s. Some patchy frost is possible in areas north and east of Baton Rouge. Be sure to take that jacket with you as you head out to work and school!

We will have a gorgeous afternoon thanks to high pressure building in behind the cold front that came through yesterday. This will provide us with sunny skies and cool temperatures in the lower 60s.

You can expect another pretty chilly night across the Capital City. We will be clear with low temperatures in the mid 30s. Some patchy frost is possible.

Friday will be another delightful day with mostly sunny skies. A dry cold front will move across the state, but it will only bring a few clouds with it. We will stay cool with a high in the lower 60s. That is the temperature is it supposed to be this time of year. Friday Night will be mostly clear and still chilly with lows near 40.

Weekend Outlook: A weak disturbance will move across the state on Saturday. This will tap into what little Gulf Moisture moves back over us, and that will give us a sun/cloud mix. A few sprinkles will be possible later in the day. Highs will be in the upper 60s. Saturday Night will be mostly cloudy with a few sprinkles. Lows will be in the mid 40s.

The disturbance will be east of Louisiana on Sunday and we will become partly cloudy. It will be mild with highs in the upper 60s and lows in the mid 40s.

Enjoy the sunshine and have a nice 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...
