Warm and Muggy With Some Drizzle Today

...Dense Fog Advisory Until 10 AM...

 Short Term Forecast:  We have a mostly cloudy, warm, muggy and foggy start to this Tuesday across the Capital City.  Visibilities are less than 1/4 mile in some areas, so please use caution!  Temperatures are in the lower 70s.

The clouds look like they will stick around today just like yesterday.  This will keep us from getting too warm.  Some drizzle or mist will be possible throughout the afternoon as well as moisture continues to be drawn up from the Gulf of Mexico.  High temperatures will be in the lower 80s.

More clouds and dense fog can be expected tonight along with some mist or drizzle.  It will remain muggy with lows in the lower 70s.

Week Ahead:  Expect to have a mix of sun and clouds on Wednesday with a few showers popping up.  It will stay warm and humid with highs in the mid 80s and lows in the lower 70s.

Much of Thursday will have some pretty quiet weather with partly to mostly cloudy skies as a cold front moves closer to Louisiana.  Some isolated showers or thunderstorms may try to pop-up during the afternoon.  Highs will be in the lower 80s.

The weather is expected to get rough on Thursday Night as the cold front moves into Baton Rouge.  A squall line of thunderstorms is forecast to develop to our west and move into town by Friday Morning.  Some of these storms are expected to become strong to severe.  Damaging winds and large hail will be possible along with the chance of a tornado.  Lows will fall to the upper 50s.

We will have the scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms on Friday Morning until the cold front pushes through the city.  Then we will have some lingering showers that will end by the afternoon hours.  The skies are expected to clear by Friday Evening.  High temperatures will be MUCH COOLER as they only climb into the lower 70s.  Friday Night will be mostly clear and MUCH COLDER with lows in the mid 40s. Brrr!!

Weekend Outlook:  An area of high pressure will build in behind the cold front all weekend.  This will make for some gorgeous sunny skies on Saturday and Sunday.  It will stay cooler with highs in the lower to mid 70s and lows in the upper 40s to lower 50s.

Get ready for another muggy day.  Have a nice one! -Dave

Comparison between Hurricane Matthew's possible forecast track loop vs Hurricane Betsy's

Some of you have been calling to say that Matthew's forecast to do a loop in the Atlantic Ocean off the SE U.S. is the same as what Hurricane Betsy did back in 1965. Well...that is not true. Betsy formed on August 27, 1965 just off the Leeward Islands. It quickly became a tropical storm on the same day, and then became a hurricane on August 29.  It made a few loops in its track with one north of Puerto Rico and a second north of the Bahamas.  There is a strong area of high pressure that was preventing Betsy from moving to the north, and that is what caused it to loop.  After the second loop, it then moved SW across the Bahamas, then turned west to move over far South Florida and then into the Gulf.  It eventually turned to the NW and quickly tracked right to New Orleans where it made landfall as a major hurricane on September 9th. Hurricane Matthew formed in the Atlantic east of the Leeward Islands as a tropical storm on September 28. It quickly moved west into t...

The Great Flood of 1983

It was 30 years ago that the Baton Rouge area experienced what is likely the worst flood in its history!  On April 5-9, 1983 we were hit with 6 to 13 inches of rain from a slow-moving storm.  This rain quickly ran off into the Amite, Comite, Tickfaw and Tangipahoa River Basins.  Some of the highest rainfall totals were in the headwaters of the Amite River in the Felicianas and South Mississippi.  Also, there were some strong easterly winds which slowed down the water from draining into Lake Maurepas and Pontchartrain.  These were some of the reasons why the flooding occurred in Baton Rouge & Denham Springs.  The weather map to the right shows the weather for April 8, 1983. A stalled front over the Southeast U.S. lead to the heavy rain event and flooding. The rivers quickly rose and spilled out of their banks.  The rain didn't stop, so the water continued to rise and rise.  Rivers rose to what are still the record levels.  The Amite in D...

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 ...
