Gorgeous Weather Returns Today


Short Term Forecast:  It is a mostly clear and chilly start to this Tuesday Morning with temperatures in the 40s.  Take that jacket with you!

We will have a gorgeous day as high pressure builds into the Southeast U.S.  Expect a few highs clouds to stream over us for the first part of the day, but it will become totally sunny by the afternoon.  We will be a little warmer with high temperatures in the upper 60s.

Clear skies are on tap for tonight and it will stay chilly.  Low temperatures will fall to the lower 40s.  Another night for jackets and sweatshirts!

Week Ahead:  The area of high pressure will remain over the Deep South on Wednesday and Thursday.  This will keep it sunny and we will have mild temperatures.  Highs will be in the mid to upper 60s and lows will be in the upper 30s to mid 40s each day.

The area of high pressure will move east of Louisiana on Friday and that will allow us to become much warmer.  Return flow will pump in the warmer air from the Gulf.  We will stay sunny with highs in the mid 70s and lows in the lower 50s.

Weekend Outlook:  The sunny and dry weather will continue on Saturday.  It will stay warm with highs in the mid 70s and lows in the mid 50s.

Some extra moisture will move into the Gulf Coast on Sunday and that will allow us to have partly cloudy skies.  It will still be dry and warm with highs in the upper 70s and lows in the upper 50s.

St. Patrick's Day Parade: The weather is still looking fantastic for the Annual Wearin' of the Green St. Patrick's Day Parade! The parade starts at 10 AM and we will be sunny with temperatures in the 60s. When the parade ends around 1 PM it will be sunny with temperatures in the 70s.

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 ...

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. ...
