Short Term Forecast: We have a very warm and muggy start to the day in Baton Rouge. It is mostly cloudy with temperatures in the lower to mid 70s. Ugh!
An area of high pressure remains over the Southeast U.S. This will limit the amount of rain we will see today, but with daytime heating we could have a few showers or storms popping up. Otherwise, it will be partly cloudy and almost hot with high temperatures in the upper 80s.
You can expect another sticky night with very warm low temperatures in the lower 70s under mostly cloudy skies.
Week Ahead: More of the same weather is on tap for Tuesday - partly cloudy, very warm and humid with spotty afternoon showers. Highs will be in the upper 80s. Tuesday Night will be mostly cloudy and very muggy with lows in the lower 70s.
The weather will start to change a little on Wednesday. The area of high pressure will be well east of Louisiana. Also, a cold front will move into parts of the Southeast U.S. along with a few disturbances. This will help to set off isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening hours. A few storms could be strong at times. See SPC's Day 3 discussion. Otherwise, it will be partly cloudy, still very warm and humid with highs in the upper 80s. Wednesday Night will have some clouds with lows in the upper 60s.
Thursday will be similar to Wednesday with partly cloudy skies along with isolated to scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Highs will be around 90 and lows in the upper 60s.
The chance of rain will be a little lower on Friday as the cold front moves away from Louisiana. We will be hot and humid with just some pop-up afternoon storms. Highs will be around 90 and lows will be in the upper 60s.
Weekend Outlook: The very warm and humid weather will persist into the weekend with partly cloudy skies. A few afternoon storms can't be ruled out due to the almost hot and humid weather. Highs will be in the upper 80s and lows in the upper 60s both Saturday and Sunday.
Stay cool and have a nice day! -Dave
