Short Term Forecast: We have a mostly cloudy and muggy start to this Wednesday Morning across the Baton Rouge area. Temperatures are in the upper 60s.
Get ready for some rain and thunderstorms today. This is thanks to a plume of deep tropical moisture streaming north from the Caribbean. At the same time a trough of low pressure will be inching closer to Louisiana. Combine that with daytime heating and a sea breeze, and we will get scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. A few storms could be strong with gusty winds and heavy rain. High temperatures will be in the mid 80s.
The bulk of the rain will end tonight, but we could still have a spotty shower popping up overnight. Otherwise, it will be partly to mostly cloudy with lows in the lower 70s.
Rest of the Week: The deep tropical moisture will remain over us on Thursday as well as the trough of low pressure. A weak disturbance is being pick up by the forecast models and that will help to give us a greater chance for rain. Therefore, expect more numerous showers and storms with heavy rain on Thursday. It will still be very warm and humid with highs in the mid 80s. Thursday Night will be mostly cloudy and steamy with lows in the lower 70s.
Some drier air will move over the state on Friday, and that will help to reduce the amount of rain we will have. Expect partly cloudy skies with isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms. Highs will be around 90. Friday Night will be partly cloudy and very muggy with lows in the lower 70s.
Weekend Outlook: We will still have some unsettled weather this weekend, especially on Sunday. The
deep tropical moisture will be east of Louisiana by Saturday, but we will still have a very humid air mass over us. It will be partly cloudy with scattered showers and thunderstorms popping up during the afternoon and evening on Saturday. Highs will be in the upper 80s before it starts to rain, and lows will be in the lower 70s on Saturday Night.
A weak cold front will move into Louisiana on Sunday into Monday. This will tap into the humid air and set off scattered to numerous showers and storms. Some storms could be strong with gusty winds and heavy rain. High temperatures will be in the upper 80s and lows in the lower 70s.
Be sure to take your umbrella with you and have a good day! -Dave
