Very Hot and Humid With Some Storms On Father's Day Weekend

Short Term Forecast:  Good Friday Afternoon!  Whew...it sure is HOT!  Right now it is 94° with a heat index of 105° in Baton Rouge.  We have some isolated showers & t'storms popping up along a cold front & sea breeze.  Some of the storms could become strong to possibly severe with gusty winds & heavy rain.  Temperatures will stay in the lower to mid 90s and the heat index 100° to 110°.  Please be sure to drink plenty of water and try to stay in the A/C today!


The storms will end tonight and we will be left with mainly clear skies.  It will be a few degrees "cooler" with lows in the lower 70s vs. upper 70s this morning.

Father's Day Weekend:  An area of high pressure will sit over us on Saturday and this will give us partly cloudy skies with only one or two pop-up storms.  It will be very hot & humid with highs in the mid 90s.  The heat index will still be around 105° at times!

Sunday, Father's Day, will still be very hot and humid, but we will have a little better chance of some isolated storms popping up.  This is thanks to moisture returning in the upper-levels of the atmosphere.  We will have highs in the mid 90s with the heat index around 105°.

Next Week Outlook:  Monday is shaping up to be a pretty dry day with only a storm or two possible, but it will be hot with highs in the mid 90s and lows in the mid 70s.


More unsettled weather is expected Tuesday through Friday.  Each day will be partly cloudy with isolated showers and storms as a weak trough of low pressure and cold front move toward Louisiana.  They won't get to Baton Rouge, but will be close enough to set off some storms.  This will bring a little relief to the heat with daily highs in the lower 90s and lows in the lower 70s.

Tropical Outlook:  All is quiet in the tropics, and it will stay that way through the weekend.  Forecast models are hinting at a tropical wave moving out of the Caribbean into the Bay of Campeche late next week, but it does not look like it will impact Louisiana.


I hope all the Dads out there, including mine, have a great Father's Day Weekend! -Dave

With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems
of plagorism or copyright violation? My site
has a lot of unique content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any techniques to help reduce content from being stolen? I'd genuinely appreciate it.

Comparison between Hurricane Matthew's possible forecast track loop vs Hurricane Betsy's

Some of you have been calling to say that Matthew's forecast to do a loop in the Atlantic Ocean off the SE U.S. is the same as what Hurricane Betsy did back in 1965. Well...that is not true. Betsy formed on August 27, 1965 just off the Leeward Islands. It quickly became a tropical storm on the same day, and then became a hurricane on August 29.  It made a few loops in its track with one north of Puerto Rico and a second north of the Bahamas.  There is a strong area of high pressure that was preventing Betsy from moving to the north, and that is what caused it to loop.  After the second loop, it then moved SW across the Bahamas, then turned west to move over far South Florida and then into the Gulf.  It eventually turned to the NW and quickly tracked right to New Orleans where it made landfall as a major hurricane on September 9th. Hurricane Matthew formed in the Atlantic east of the Leeward Islands as a tropical storm on September 28. It quickly moved west into t...

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. ...
