Pleasant and cool weather today


Short Term Forecast:  It is a clear and much cooler start to this Wednesday.  Temperatures are in the lower 40s.

We will have a gorgeous day as high pressure sits over the Southeast U.S.  Expect sunny skies and much cooler temperatures in the wake of the cold front that moved through Baton Rouge yesterday.  Highs temperatures will be in the lower 60s.

More clear skies are on tap tonight with some chilly temperatures.  Lows will dip into the upper 30s.

Week Ahead:  The area of high pressure will remain over us on Thursday, and that will make for another nice day.  We will have a few high clouds streaming by us, so I'll call for mostly sunny skies.  It will still be cool with highs in the lower 60s.  Thursday Night will be mostly clear and chilly with lows in the lower 40s.

We will start to warm up on Friday as the area of high pressure moves to the east of Louisiana.  This will shift the winds from the northeast to the southeast.  That will bring in the warm air from the Gulf.  We will become partly cloudy with highs in the lower 70s.  Friday Night will be mostly clear with lows in the upper 40s.

Weekend Outlook:  Another day of partly cloudy skies is in the forecast for Saturday.  We will stay warm, but become a little more humid with highs in the lower 70s.  Saturday Night will be partly cloudy with lows only in the upper 50s.

*Remember to Spring Forward one hour Saturday Night for Daylight Saving Time!!!*

The weather will start to change on Sunday as another cold front moves closer to Baton Rouge.  Most of the day will be dry, but it looks like rain and storms will arrive late in the day.  Therefore, we will be partly to mostly cloudy with isolated showers developing.  Highs will be in the mid 70s.

The cold front will move into Baton Rouge on Sunday Night.  This will bring us scattered showers and thunderstorms.  Lows will be in the lower 50s.

Enjoy the sunshine and comfortable weather.  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. ...
