Mostly Cloudy and Calmer Weather Today

Short Term Forecast:  We start out this Thursday with much calmer weather over South Louisiana.  It is mostly cloudy and cooler with temperatures in the lower 50s.

The calmer weather will persist today as the cold front has stalled along the coast.  This will keep mostly cloudy skies over the area, but it will be a little warmer since some sunshine will pop-out from time to time. It will be less humid too.   High temperatures will be in the mid 70s.

The cooler temperatures will continue tonight with some lingering clouds.  Lows will fall to the lower 50s.

Friday will be a pretty nice day as high pressure sits to the northeast of Louisiana.  We will be partly cloudy and it will become warmer with highs in the lower 80s.  Friday Night will have some clouds and it will not be as cool with lows in the lower 60s.

Weekend Forecast:  It looks like the cold front will retreat back to the north this weekend and stall along
the I-10 corridor.  At the same time, some upper-level disturbances will move over the state from the west and northwest.  This will all lead to some rain and storms each day.  Saturday will be partly cloudy with isolated showers and a few thunderstorms.  It will be warm and more humid with highs in the lower 80s and lows in the lower 60s.

Sunday is forecast to be partly to mostly cloudy with more scattered showers and thunderstorms popping
up.  Some heavy rain will be possible according to the latest forecast models.  A few storms could also be strong at times!  SPC has us in a general risk to a "see text" for thunderstorms.  Highs will stay in the lower 80s and lows in the lower 60s Sunday Night.

Enjoy the less humid weather 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. ...
