Sweet Weather On This Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!

Short Term Forecast: We begin this Thursday with mostly clear skies and chilly temperatures in the upper 30s. Better take that coat with you this morning!

Expect the skies to clear this afternoon and that will make for a sweet forecast! High pressure will sit over us today and that will make it sunny and mild with high temperatures in the lower 60s.

If you are going out this evening it will be a little chilly so be sure to have a coat for your sweetie! Temperatures will be falling into the lower 50s. Overnight will be clear and cold with lows in the lower 40s.

Friday will be another pleasant day with mostly sunny skies and it will be a little warmer as the high pressure moves east of Louisiana. Highs will be in the upper 60s. Friday Night will be partly cloudy and there could be a few sprinkles over Southern Mississippi as a cold front moves into town. Lows will be still cold as they drop into the upper 30s.

River Flooding: Area rivers are continuing to rise from all of the rain we had since Sunday. Some flooding is expected on parts of the the Amite, Tickfaw and Tangipahoa Rivers. River Flood Warning have been issued along these rivers. Most of them will crest on Friday and Saturday. If you experienced flooding in January, then you could see flooding again. For the latest river stages and forecast crests please click here.

Weekend Forecast: The cold front will bring us partly cloudy skies on Saturday, but I am not expecting any rain. Some cold air will filter in behind the front, so high temperatures will only get into the mid 50s.

Saturday Night will be clear and pretty cold with lows in the mid 30s. Outlying areas east and north of town could see a low near 32, so a light freeze is possible!

Sunday will be a gorgeous day with mostly sunny skies as another area of high pressure sits over Baton Rouge. Highs will be warmer as they get to the mid 60s and lows in the upper 40s.

Enjoy the sunshine and have a Happy Valentine's 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 ...

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...

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. ...
