Short Term Forecast: We have a partly cloudy start to the day in the Baton Rouge area with some showers and storms popping up along the Louisiana Coast as a weak disturbance moves by. Temperatures are in the 70s.
It is going to be a hot and humid afternoon across Southeast Louisiana just like it should be for late-August. A tropical wave is located over the Eastern Gulf of Mexico and that will be moving toward the Northern Gulf later today and tomorrow. We will be partly cloudy with scattered showers and storms popping up over the afternoon and evening hours thanks to the sea breeze and heating of the day. High temperatures will be in the lower 90s.
The showers and storms will dissipate by 10 PM and then we will be left with partly cloudy skies overnight. It will be warm and sticky with lows in the lower 70s.
Friday will have more scattered showers and storms developing as the weak tropical wave moves along our Coast. Otherwise, it will be partly cloudy and hot with highs in the lower 90s. Friday Night will have a few clouds with lows in the mid 70s.
Weekend Forecast: An area of high pressure starts to move from the west to the Southeast U.S. this weekend. There will be enough moisture over us to set off scattered afternoon/evening thunderstorms on Saturday and Sunday with partly cloudy skies. Highs will be in the lower 90s and lows in the lower 70s.
Tropical Outlook: There are still a few tropical waves from the Eastern Gulf to the Caribbean and in the Atlantic, but NONE of them are expected to become a tropical system. Therefore, I am not expect any tropical systems to form over the next 3 to 5 days.
Stay cool, watch out for some rain and have a good day! -Dave
