The sunshine finally returns today!


Short Term Forecast:  It looks like the wintry weather will remain north of Baton Rouge this morning.  We did have some reports of a rain/snow mix last night, but it did not last long.  We have partly to mostly cloudy skies on this Thursday Morning and there is a slight chance we could see a few flurries.  However, the greatest chance will be around McComb, MS where they have been reporting light snow for a few hours!!  Temperatures are in the lower to mid 30s around town.

We will finally see a return to the sunshine this afternoon.  The upper-level low that is causing the winter storm across parts of the Deep South will move east of Louisiana.  In the wake of that we will have an area of high pressure build in.  This will make it sunny and still cool thanks to the northerly winds associated with it.  High temperatures will be in the lower to mid 50s.

Expect clear skies tonight with a light freeze as the lows dip into the lower 30s.

Friday is going to be a gorgeous day with plenty of sunshine, but we will still be cool.  High temperatures will be in the upper 50s.  Friday Night will be clear and cold with lows in the mid 30s.

Weekend Forecast:  The area of high pressure will remain over us Saturday and Sunday.  This means more sunny and dry conditions!  It will become a little warmer with highs in the lower 60s each day.  Saturday Night will be clear with lows in the lower 40s.  Sunday Night will still be clear as a dry cold front moves into Baton Rouge.  This will make it a little colder with lows in the upper 30s.

Enjoy the sunshine and have a great day! -Dave

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 ...

Flash Flood Watch now until Thursday Evening for WBRZ Viewing Area

The NWS in Slidell, LA has issued a  Flash Flood Watch for all of the WBRZ Viewing Area starting now and continuing until Thursday Evening. Rain has been falling for the last few hours and we have already picked up over 1.30" in Baton Rouge.  This is WAY more than the forecast models were predicting for this time.  The area of low pressure continues to develop over South Texas and a warm front will move up from the Gulf of Mexico by Wednesday Morning.  This will spread widespread rain and a few thunderstorms over Southern Louisiana all night and into Wednesday.  Then it looks like we will taper off the rain to just scattered showers during the day on Wednesday. On Wednesday Night, a cold front will move out of Texas into Louisiana.  As this happens, a squall line of thunderstorms is expected to move ahead of it and through Baton Rouge on Thursday Morning.  Some of these storms could be strong to severe with damaging winds and a few tornadoes. ...

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...
