Short Term Forecast: A cold front has moved through Baton Rouge this morning and it is bringing us showers and thunderstorms. Some heavy rain is possible too. Temperatures have fallen into the 40s. Take your jacket and umbrella with you today!
The rain will come to an end this afternoon and we will become partly cloudy. It will stay cool with temperatures only climbing back into the upper 50s.
It will become clear and much colder tonight. Low temperatures will fall to the upper 30s. Better bundle up on Tuesday Morning!
Week Ahead: An area of high pressure will sit over us on Tuesday and this will make it sunny. We will stay cool with northwest winds moving over Baton Rouge. Highs will be in the mid 60s and lows in the lower 40s.
The area of high pressure stays parked over the Southeast U.S. on Wednesday, but a weak disturbance moves across the Gulf Coast States. We will not see much of an impact on this disturbance other than it keeps us cool longer. Expect to have plenty of sunshine with highs in the upper 60s, but lows will fall back into the upper 30s on Wednesday Night.
More sunny weather is on tap for Thursday with highs in the upper 60s and lows in the mid 40s.
The area of high pressure moves east of Louisiana on Friday. This will still keep us sunny, but it will allow the winds to shift from the northwest to the south. We will start to warm up again with highs in the mid 70s. Friday Night will be clear, but not as chilly with lows near 50.
Weekend Outlook: The warming trend continues all weekend. Saturday will be sunny and warm with highs in the mid 70s and lows in the lower 50s.
Sunday will still be warm, but more moisture will stream up from the Gulf. This will make it partly cloudy with highs in the upper 70s and lows in the mid 50s.
