Scorching Heat With Some Storms on Friday

Short Term Forecast:  It is another toasty afternoon/evening across the Baton Rouge area.  We have partly cloudy skies with only a spotty storm possible through the evening.  Temperatures are in the lower 90s, but will fall to the upper 80s through 8 PM.

A weak cold front will push toward the city tonight.  It will bring us partly cloudy skies with a chance of seeing a shower or storm overnight/early Friday Morning.  We will stay very muggy with lows in the mid 70s.

Friday will have partly cloudy skies with isolated showers and storms as the cold front moves toward the Coast.  Some of the storms could be strong to possibly severe with gusty winds and heavy rain.  Even though the cold front will push through town, it will NOT cool us down.  We will stay hot and very humid with highs in the mid 90s and the heat index will be around 100 to 105.

What is left of the dissipating cold front will be along the Louisiana Coast on Friday Night.  We will have mostly clear to partly cloudy skies in Baton Rouge.  Again, we will not cool down with this front, so it will stay muggy with lows in the lower to mid 70s.


Father's Day Weekend:  It will be quite oppressive with the heat all weekend.  An area of high pressure will build back over Louisiana and this will keep the weather pretty quiet...and HOT!  Saturday and Sunday will have partly cloudy skies with highs in the mid 90s and the heat index will be around 105 each day.  Expect warm and muggy weather each night with lows in the mid 70s.

Tropical Outlook:  All is still quiet!  See the graphic below...


Keep cool, stay hydrated and have a nice night! -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 ...

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. ...

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...
