Short Term Forecast: It is a pretty quiet and cool start to the day across the Capital City. We have partly to mostly cloudy skies with temperatures in the lower 50s.
You can expect some pleasant weather this afternoon as the area of high pressure moves east of Louisiana. This will bring back southeast winds over the state and that will give us partly cloudy skies. A stray shower is possible as well, but most of you will not see any rain. We will be warmer too with high temperatures in the lower 80s.
It will not be as cool tonight thanks to the southeast winds. We will have some clouds with lows falling to the lower 60s.
Weekend Forecast: Some unsettled weather will return this weekend. Saturday is looking to be the best day with only a slight chance of seeing some rain/storms, but a lot of rain is expected on Sunday.
Saturday will be partly cloudy, warm and more humid as a weak disturbance moves across the state. This disturbance, or upper-level low, will set off isolated showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon. Most of you will not see any rain. Highs will be in the mid 80s. Saturday Night will be mostly cloudy with spotty showers. Lows will fall to the mid 60s.
The weather will really go downhill on Sunday as a cold front moves into Baton Rouge. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will develop in the morning and they will continue all day. Some of the storms could become strong with gusty winds. Forecast models are showing we could pick up a few inches of heavy rain, and some flash flooding will be possible. We will stay warm and humid with highs in the upper 70s thanks to the rain. Sunday Night will be mostly cloudy, but the rain will taper off as the cold front stalls along the coast. Lows will be in the lower 60s.
Next Week Outlook: The cold front will stay stalled along the I-10 corridor to the coast on Monday and Tuesday. Each day will be partly cloudy with pop-up afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Highs will be in the lower to mid 80s and lows in the lower 60s.
Another cold front is forecast to move through Baton Rouge on Wednesday/ Thursday Morning. This will bring us another round of scattered showers and thunderstorms. Some heavy rain will be possible again. Highs will be in the lower 80s Wednesday and near 60 Wednesday Night.
The cold front will be east of Baton Rouge by Thursday Afternoon and the rain will end. We will become partly cloudy by the afternoon. It will be cooler with highs in the lower 70s. Thursday Night will be partly cloudy and MUCH COOLER with lows in the lower 50s.
High pressure will build over the Southeast U.S. on Friday. We will be sunny and MUCH COOLER with highs only in the lower 70s.
Keep an eye on the radar this weekend. Have a great one! -Dave
