Fantastic Weather For Memorial Day Weekend

Short Term Forecast:  All of the heavy rain and storms from last night have dissipated.  We are left with mostly clear to partly cloudy skies this morning.  Temperatures are in the mid to upper 60s.

A cold front will sweep through the Baton Rouge area today.  This will give us partly cloudy skies and help to set off isolated showers and thunderstorms.  A few storms could be strong at times with heavy rain and gusty winds.  We will still have a hot day with highs in the upper 80s to around 90.

The front will be in the Gulf of Mexico tonight and the skies will be mostly clear to partly cloudy.  It will turn less humid and much cooler with lows in the lower 60s.

Memorial Day Weekend Forecast:  If you have any plans this weekend to be at the Gonzales Jambalaya Festival, Bayou Country Superfest or anything else then you will love this forecast!!  An area of high pressure will sit over the Southeast U.S. all weekend.  This will give us mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies Saturday through Monday with low humidity levels!  If you are outdoors for those events you will love the comfortable humidity levels!  It will still be very warm with highs in the upper 80s each day.  We will be cool at night with lows in the lower to mid 60s.  How nice does that sound?!?

Next Week Outlook:  Monday, Memorial Day, will still be pleasant with partly cloudy skies and low humidity.  Highs will stay in the upper 80s and lows in the mid 60s.

The area of high pressure will move east of Louisiana on Tuesday, and that will bring back the southerly winds to the state.  We will be partly cloudy, very warm and more humid with highs in the upper 80s.  Tuesday Night will stay partly cloudy with lows in the upper 60s.

The more humid weather will stick around Wednesday through Friday.  At the same time a few disturbances will move across the Southeast U.S.  This will help to set off daily isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms.  Highs will be in the upper 80s to around 90 and lows will be in the lower 70s each night.

Keep that umbrella today and enjoy the wonderful weather this weekend!  A speical thank you goes out to all of those that have served this great country and those that are currently serving it!!  You are the best!!  -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. ...
