Short Term Forecast: We begin this Wednesday Morning with mostly cloudy skies and isolated showers. The rain is coming from a stalled cold front that is sitting over us and a disturbance that is moving along it. Temperatures are in the lower 70s.
Look for more scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop throughout the morning and afternoon hours. Some storms could be strong with gusty winds and heavy rain. Otherwise, we will be mostly cloudy, hot and humid with highs in the lower 90s. Some of you may not even get to 90 today if you receive more rain.
The clouds and a few showers will linger tonight. It will be warm and muggy with lows in the lower 70s.
Rest of the Week: The cold front will fall apart along the Louisiana Coast on Thursday and some drier air aloft will move over Baton Rouge. This will limit the amount of storms we will have. You can expect partly cloudy skies with only isolated pop-up variety storms. It will be hotter with highs in the lower 90s. Thursday Night will be partly cloudy and sticky with lows in the lower 70s.
Friday will be another hot day with only pop-up storms expected in the afternoon hours under partly cloudy skies. Highs will be in the lower 90s and lows in the lower 70s on Friday Night with a few clouds.
Weekend Outlook: The forecast models are showing the drier air moving east this weekend and a weak disturbance will move over Louisiana. This will give us a slightly better chance of thunderstorms each day. Therefore, we will be partly cloudy with isolated showers and storms. We stay hot and humid with highs in the lower 90s and lows in the lower 70s at night.
Tropical Outlook: Tropical Depression #2 has emerged back over water in the Southern Bay of Campeche. It is showing some signs of organization and could strengthen a little before it makes landfall a second time in Mexico. The latest information shows TD 2 becoming a tropical storm before landfall, and it would get the name Barry. Once it makes landfall it will quickly dissipate.
Elsewhere...the rest of the tropics are quiet and will stay that way through Thursday.
Keep that umbrella with you and have a nice day! -Dave
