Short Term Forecast: It is a cloudy, warm, muggy morning with patchy fog. Temperatures are in the 60s.
The clouds will stick around all day as a cold front moves into Louisiana. We will gradually see scattered showers developing throughout the afternoon hours. A few thunderstorms will also be possible. It will be warm and humid with high temperatures in the mid 70s.
The cold front will move into and through Baton Rouge overnight/Saturday Morning. Expect scattered showers to pass over the city, but I'm not expecting any heavy rain. Low temperatures will fall to around 60.
Weekend Forecast: The cold front will move through the city during Saturday Morning. There will be a few showers along the front, but I'm expecting more rain behind the front too. These will just be isolated showers and will last through the afternoon. High temperatures around 60 will occur in the morning before the front moves through. Then they will fall through the 50s all afternoon.
The showers will come to an end by Saturday Evening and we will become partly cloudy overnight. It will be quite chilly with lows in the upper 30s.
A dry day is on tap for Sunday. We will be partly cloudy and cool with highs in the mid 50s. Sunday Night will have a few clouds and it will be chilly with lows in the mid 30s. Some areas of South Mississippi and the Felicianas could get close to freezing.
Football Forecast: If you are headed to the LSU game be sure to dress warmly!! Tailgating weather will be cloudy with a few showers and temperatures around 60. Kickoff will be cloudy with a few sprinkles and temperatures falling to the mid 50s. By the time the game is over it will still be cloudy with a few sprinkles and temperatures will be around 50.
Next Week Outlook: An area of low pressure aloft and at the surface will move across Louisiana on Monday and Tuesday. The surface low will develop in the Western Gulf of Mexico and move northeast over us. This will send plenty of heavy rain across Baton Rouge starting Monday Afternoon and last until Tuesday Afternoon when the low moves away from us. Then the upper-level low will move over us and that will keep showers in the forecast until Wednesday Morning. It will be a cold rain with highs in the lower to mid 50s and lows in the lower 40s.
We will dry out on Wednesday with mostly sunny skies. It will stay cool with highs in the mid 50s. Wednesday Night will be clear and COLD with lows in the lower 30s.
Thanksgiving Day is shaping up to be a beauty! We will have an area of high pressure over us and that will allow us to be sunny. It will still be cool with high temperatures in the upper 50s and lows in the lower 40s.
Black Friday will also be sunny, but a tad warmer. Highs will be in the lower 60s and lows still in the 40s.
Tropical Outlook: Tropical Storm Melissa is not longer a tropical system as it sits near the Azores.
Elsewhere...the rest of the tropics are quiet.
Take your umbrella today and have a great weekend! -Dave
