Are you ready for the sunshine to return?! I know I am, and guess what...it will later today! We will also have some fantastic weather this weekend. Check it out...
An area of high pressure will build across the Southeast U.S. this afternoon. This will clear out the clouds and make for some sunny skies. It will also allow us to warm up thanks to the high sun angle. High temperatures will climb to around 70.
It is expected to be clear and chilly again tonight. Lows will fall to the mid 40s.
Weekend Outlook: The area of high pressure will sit right over the Deep South on Saturday. This will keep us mostly sunny as a few high clouds stream by overhead during the day. We will become warmer as the winds shift from the northeast to the southeast. This will be some great weather for Kite Fest Louisiane! Be sure to check it out this weekend in Port Allen at the Soccer Complex!! High temperatures will rise into the upper 70s. Saturday Night will be mostly clear, but some patchy dense fog will form. Lows will be in the mid 50s.
Sunday will start out foggy, but then we will become partly cloudy as more moisture streams in from the Gulf of Mexico. We will be warm and more humid with highs in the upper 70s. Sunday Night will have more patchy fog with partly cloudy skies. Lows will be in the upper 50s.
Next Week Outlook: We start the new week with more dry and warm weather across Baton Rouge. Monday and Tuesday will be partly to mostly cloudy with highs in the lower 80s and lows in the mid 60s.
The weather will start to go back downhill on Wednesday. A cold front will approach the city from the west and it will set off scattered showers and thunderstorms. We will still be warm and humid with highs in the lower 80s before the storms move in. Wednesday Night will have more and and storms with lows in the lower 60s.
The cold front will push through town on Thursday, and this will bring us even more showers and storms. Some could be strong at times! High temperatures will be in the mid 70s. It will become partly cloudy and cooler on Thursday Night in the wake of the cold front. Low temperatures will be in the lower 50s.
An area of high pressure will build over Louisiana on Friday behind the cold front. We will be mostly sunny, but it will not be much cooler. High temperatures will be in the upper 70s and lows in the 50s.
