Warmer temperatures arrive today


Short Term Forecast:  You will still need that light jacket this morning as the chilly air is sticking around Baton Rouge for the moment.  We have clear skies with temperatures in the upper 30s to lower 40s.

Much warmer temperatures will arrive this afternoon and you will not need that jacket anymore.  The area of high pressure that was sitting over us yesterday will move east of Louisiana.  This will shift the winds from the east to the southeast and that will allow us to warm up.  We will still be sunny with high temperatures in the lower 70s.

It is not going to be as chilly tonight with mostly clear skies.  Lows will drop into the upper 40s.

Rest of the Week:  The warm air will continue to be pumped in from the Gulf over us on Thursday and it will become a little more humid too with partly cloudy skies.  Highs will be in the mid 70s.  Thursday Night will be partly cloudy with some patchy fog.  Lows will be in the mid 50s.

The forecast has now completely changed for Friday.  The last few days the forecast models were showing a strong cold front moving through town.  Now they have that front stalling north of Louisiana.  This means we will not see much rain and the warm air sticks around.  Therefore, the forecast now calls for a mix of sun and clouds with only spotty showers.  Highs will be in the mid 70s.  Friday Night will be mostly cloudy with patchy dense fog and a few showers will be possible.  Lows will be in the upper 50s.

Weekend Forecast:  Since the cold front will not move through Baton Rouge we will now stay warm all weekend.  Saturday will have a mix of sun and clouds with high temperatures in the lower 70s and lows in the mid 50s.

Expect partly to mostly cloudy skies on Sunday.  It will stay warm and humid with highs in the mid 70s and lows in the upper 50s.

Enjoy the warmer weather 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...
