More Heat With Little Rain Through Father's Day Weekend

Short Term Forecast:  It is another hot and humid evening across the Capital City with mostly clear to partly cloudy skies.  A few storms have popped up along Highway 90 close to the Coast.  We could see a few more around Baton Rouge, but most of you will not see any rain through 8 PM.  Temperatures are in the 90s now, but will fall into the 80s by 8 PM.

Expect some clouds tonight and it will be very muggy with lows in the mid 70s.

Rest of the Week:  The ridge of high pressure will stay over us on Thursday, and that means another pretty hot day in Baton Rouge with partly cloudy skies.  Do not look for may storms as only a few are possible.  High temperatures will be in the mid 90s with the heat index around 100 to 105 at times.

A weak and dissipating cold front will move toward Baton Rouge from the northeast on Thursday Night and Friday.  This will give us partly to mostly cloudy skies on Thursday Night with a few showers and storms.  Lows will be in the mid 70s.

The front will not likely get to Baton Rouge on Friday, but it will be close enough to set off some isolated thunderstorms during the day.  Otherwise, it will be partly cloudy, hot and humid with highs in the mid 90s.  The heat index will stay around 100 to 105.  Friday Night will have mostly clear skies with lows in the lower to mid 70s.

Father's Day Weekend:  Get ready for more hot and humid with with little to no rain on Saturday and Sunday.  We will be partly cloudy with only a few storms popping up each afternoon/evening.  High temperatures will be in the mid 90s with the heat index around 100 to 105.  Each night will be mostly clear to partly cloudy with muggy lows in the mid 70s.

Tropical Outlook:  Everything remains quiet for the next few days.

Have a great evening and keep cool! -Dave

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...

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 ...

Today Is The 5th Anniversary of Hurricane Gustav

Early in the morning on September 1, 2008, Labor Day, Hurricane Gustav made landfall near Cocodrie, LA.  It was a strong category 2 hurricane with 110 mph winds.  At one point, right before Gustav made landfall over Western Cuba, winds were as high as 150 mph (Category 4).  It did weaken as it crossed Cuba, but did regain strength as it sat in the middle of the Gulf as it became a Category 3 storm with winds of 115 mph.  This storm became the worst one ever to impact Baton Rouge, LA.  Sustained winds around 70 mph with a 91 mph wind gust was reported at Baton Rouge Metro Airport, 108 and 117 mph wind gusts were reported in Houma, LA.  That caused significant damage and, at one point, the entire city of Baton Rouge was without power. Hurricane Gustav moved slowly inland and the eastern-edge of the eye wall moved along the Mississippi River into Baton Rouge.  It continued northward through West Feliciana & Pointe Coupee Parishes.  The worst...
