Much Warmer Temperatures Return Today

Short Term Forecast: We have one more chilly morning to get through today with clear skies and temperatures in the upper 30s. Better take that jacket with you once again.

We will become much warmer this afternoon! This is thanks to the area of high pressure moving east of Louisiana and the winds will come out of the southeast. Some high clouds will also stream by making it mostly sunny, but it will still be a beautiful day. High temperatures will be in the lower 70s.

It will not be as cold tonight thanks to the southeasterly winds. Expect mainly clear skies with low temperatures in the mid 40s.

Friday will become even warmer, but we will have partly cloudy skies overhead. A stray sprinkle can't be ruled out, but most of you will stay dry. High temperatures will be in the mid 70s. Friday Night will be mostly cloudy with lows in the mid 50s.

Easter Weekend: It still looks like we will have some rain this weekend, but it will mainly fall on Easter. Right now, the latest forecast models show a few showers popping up on Saturday with a mix of sun and clouds thanks to a weak disturbance passing through Baton Rouge. High temperatures will be in the mid 70s and lows in the lower 60s.

Easter Sunday will start out with mostly cloudy skies for the Sunrise Services along with a few showers. However, the bulk of the rain will start by midday and continue into Sunday Night as a weakening cold front moves into town. A few thunderstorms are possible too. It will be warm and humid with highs in the upper 70s and lows in the lower 60s. The Easter Bunny may need its raincoat! I wouldn't cancel any Easter outdoor plans, yet, but it might be a good idea to have a backup plan.

Get ready for the warmer temperatures, and have a good 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...
