Warm With A Few Storms On This Memorial Day

Short Term Forecast:  We start this Memorial Day Monday with mostly clear skies and temperatures in the mid to upper 60s.

We will have a decent day weather-wise, but thanks to a weak disturbance and Gulf Moisture, we will have to dodge a few showers and storms today.  Otherwise, it will be partly cloudy with highs in the mid to upper 80s.

Expect a few clouds to stick around tonight and it will be a little muggy.  Low temperatures will be in the mid to upper 60s.

Week Ahead:  We will be partly cloudy with only spotty showers and storms on Tuesday as some drier air moves over the state.  Highs will be in the upper 80s.  Tuesday Night will be partly cloudy and muggy with lows in the upper 60s.

A surge of Gulf Moisture will move up from the Southern Gulf toward Louisiana on Wednesday and Thursday.  Combine that with daytime heating and we will see scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms develop.  Some storms could be strong at times and contain heavy rain.  Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s before the rain starts.  Each night will be partly to mostly cloudy and muggy with lows in the lower 70s.

It will be a little drier on Friday, but we will still have a few storms popping up with the daytime heat under partly cloudy skies.  Highs will be in the upper 80s and lows in the lower 70s.

Weekend Outlook:  Expect more of a Summer-like weather pattern this weekend.  We will start each day with partly cloudy skies, but will have isolated showers and thunderstorms popping up in the afternoon.  Highs will be in the upper 80s to around 90 each day.  We will have sticky nights with partly cloudy skies and lows in the lower 70s.

Thank you to all of you who have served or are currently serving this great country on this Memorial Day! Have a great day! -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. ...
