Short Term Forecast: We have a partly to mostly cloudy start to the day in Baton Rouge thanks to some showers that are in South Mississippi. These showers are coming off an outflow of thunderstorms that were in Northern Mississippi last night. The showers should dissipate before getting down to Baton Rouge. It is warm and muggy with temperatures in the mid to upper 70s.
You can expect another sweltering day across town. A ridge of high pressure sits over the Southeast U.S. and stretches all the west into New Mexico. This is limiting the amount of storms that will pop-up with the heating of the day. We will have a mix of sun and clouds with only spotty showers and storms today. High temperatures will be in the mid 90s. The heat index will be 100° to 105°.
Some clouds will linger across Southeast Louisiana tonight. It will be very warm and muggy with lows in the mid 70s.
Rest of the Week: The ridge of high pressure will remain in place on Thursday and Friday. This means more of the same weather - partly cloudy, hot and humid with spotty afternoon storms popping up each day. Highs will be in the mid 90s with the heat index around 105°. Lows will be in the mid 70s under partly cloudy skies each night.
Weekend Forecast: The hot and mainly dry weather pattern continues into Saturday as well. We will be partly cloudy and hot with only a few storms popping up. Highs stay in the mid 90s and lows in the mid 70s.
The eastern edge of the ridge starts to weaken on Sunday, and this will lead to a slightly better chance of seeing some rain. You can expect us to have partly to mostly cloudy skies with isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms. Highs will be in the lower 90s and lows in the mid 70s.
Tropical Outlook: The remnants of Dorian have fizzled out and are not expected to develop into anything as they drift to the west.
Elsewhere...the rest of the tropics are quiet, and the will stay that way through Friday.
Find a way to keep cool again and have a nice day! -Dave
