Short Term Forecast: Once again we have a very pleasant start to the day with clear skies and cool temperatures in the 50s. If you needed your jacket the last few mornings, you will want it again today.
The ridge of high pressure is still sitting over us this afternoon and that will keep the awesome weather in Baton Rouge. We will be sunny and delightful just like the last few days. However, it will be a little warmer with high temperatures back in the lower 80s.
We will not be as cool tonight compared to the last few nights. This is thanks to some moisture that will start to return to the area from the Gulf. This will give us mostly clear skies with patchy dense fog. Low temperatures will be near 60.
Week Ahead: The area of high pressure will move to the east of Louisiana starting on Thursday. This will shift the winds from the north to the southeast and that will pump in the Gulf Moisture over us. We will have partly cloudy skies on Thursday and Friday. It will be much more warmer and humid with highs in the mid to upper 80s. Each Night will have some clouds with patchy dense fog. Lows will also be warmer as they only fall to the mid 60s.
Weekend Outlook: More and humid weather is on tap for this weekend as the southerly winds persist over Baton Rouge. We will be partly cloudy on Saturday and Sunday, but there will be a slight chance of a stray shower on Sunday. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s and lows in the mid 60s each day.
Tropical Outlook: An area of low pressure, Invest 98L, continues to churn out in the far Eastern Atlantic Ocean, or about 325 miles SSW of the Cape Verde Islands. Showers and thunderstorms are increasing in coverage, but are displaced from the center of circulation. Conditions appear to be favorable for some development during the next day or so. Then on Friday, upper-level winds become stronger and development is less likely by then. NHC is giving this disturbance a medium chance of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 2 to 5 days. It is moving slowly to the WNW at 5 to 10 mph.
Elsewhere....the rest of the tropics are quiet.
Be sure to enjoy this last less humid day. Have a nice one! -Dave
