Happy Spring!
Short Term Forecast: Spring officially arrives at 6:02 AM today. We will begin the morning with mostly cloudy skies and a few showers or sprinkles as a weak disturbance moves through town. The radar will look like a lot of rain is headed our way, but we have some pretty dry air over Baton Rouge. That will limit the amount of rain that makes it to the ground, this is called virga, but plan on some rain for the morning commute. Temperatures will be in the 50s. Take your umbrella with you!
The mostly cloudy skies will stick around into the early afternoon hours before we become partly cloudy. Any rain we do get will come to an end after lunch as the disturbance moves southeast of Louisiana. High temperatures will be around 70.
We will become mostly clear and chilly tonight. Low temperatures will be in the lower 40s.
Rest of the Week: A dry day is on tap for Thursday as we get ready for some more wet weather to head our way. Expect mostly sunny skies with highs in the lower 70s. Thursday Night will be partly cloudy with lows in the mid 50s.
A warm front will move over Baton Rouge on Friday and that will warm us up. It will also help to draw in plenty of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and that will allow for isolated showers and storms to pop-up. A few storms could become strong. Highs will be in the mid 70s. More showers and storms are expected on Friday Night with lows in the lower 60s.
Weekend Outlook: A cold front is forecast to move closer to town on Saturday. This will set off scattered showers and thunderstorms. Some of the storms could become strong to possibly severe at times. Highs will be in the upper 70s. The cold front will move through Baton Rouge on Saturday Night into Sunday Morning. The showers and storms will continue with lows in the lower 60s. v
Sunday will start out with some rain and storms as the cold front moves east of town. Then we will gradually become mostly sunny by the afternoon. It stays warm with highs in the mid 70s. Sunday Night will turn much colder with lows in the upper 40s.
Watch out for a few showers today and take your umbrella. Have a good one! -Dave
