Short Term Forecast: The cold front has finally moved through Baton Rouge, but the cooler air is lagging behind it. The rain has ended and it is a mostly cloudy start to the day with some patchy fog. Temperatures are in the 60s.
Much drier and less humid air will move over Baton Rouge this afternoon. This will clear out the clouds and make for a very pretty day. Expect sunny skies with high temperatures in the mid to upper 70s.
It will be clear and cooler tonight. You may want a light jacket if you are headed out on the town with low temperatures falling to near 50.
Weekend Outlook: The trough of low pressure will finally move through the Deep South on Saturday. This will bring us the MUCH COOLER temperatures. An area of high pressure will build over us and that will make for some gorgeous sunny skies all weekend. Saturday will have high temperatures in the lower 70s. Get ready for some VERY CHILLY temperatures on Saturday Night with lows in the lower 40s under clear skies. Brrr!! Bundle up! Sunday's temperatures will struggle to get to 70 for the high and it will stay chilly Sunday Night with lows in the mid 40s.
Next Week Outlook: The area of high pressure will stay over us on Monday, but it will move east of Louisiana by Tuesday. This will give us dry weather to start the work week, but it will become more humid on Tuesday as southerly winds return to the state. Then on Wednesday another trough of low pressure will send a cold front to Baton Rouge. This will set off scattered showers and thunderstorms over us according to the long-tern forecast models. However, the GFS model says the front will move through by Thursday Monring, but the ECMWF model says the front will not push through town until Friday. At this time, the GFS seems to have a better handle on the current weather, so I'm going to go with that forecast. Therefore, expect scattered showers and storms on Wednesday into Thursday Morning. Then it will clear out by Thursday Afternoon through Friday.
Temperatures will be in the mid 70s for highs all week. Low temperatures will be in the 50s on Monday Night, 60s Tuesday Night as the rain moves over us, and then back in the 50s for Wednesday and Thursday Nights.
Tropical Outlook: Everything is still quiet in the tropics and it will stay that way through the weekend.
Make sure you get out and enjoy the Fall Weather this weekend! -Dave
