Sunshine Finally Returns Today With A Light Freeze Tonight

Short Term Forecast:  It is a cloudy, cold and breezy start to this Tuesday.  The showers have come to an end as the cold front has now moved east of Baton Rouge.  Temperatures are in the 30s, so bundle up as you head out the door.  Some places in South Mississippi may get close to the lower 30s this morning.


The clouds will gradually start to dissipate by this afternoon and it will become partly cloudy.  We will not warm up too much today with some cold air following the cold front.  High temperatures will be in the lower 50s.

Get ready for a pretty cold night across the Baton Rouge area.  We will be mostly clear with low temperatures in the lower 30s.  A light freeze can be expected, so be sure to bring in any pets and plants that you may have outside.

Week Ahead:  An area of high pressure will move over the Southeast U.S. on Wednesday and Thursday.  This will give us mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies each day.  It will still be pretty cool with high temperatures in the mid 50s.  Each night will be chilly with low temperatures in the mid to upper 30s.

Our weather will change again on Friday as an upper-level disturbance, or upper-level low, and cold front will move into Louisiana.  Some slightly warmer and more humid air will return with southeasterly winds across South Louisiana.  Those systems will tap into that moisture and set off scattered showers and a few thunderstorms late in the day.  High temperatures will be around 60.


You can expect a heavy rain event on Friday Night through the first part of Saturday.  Lows will be in the lower 50s.

Weekend Forecast:  The heavy rain will continue on Saturday Morning, but it will taper off by Saturday Afternoon.  We will be left with cloudy skies and some light rain showers.  High temperatures will be in the mid 60s.  Saturday Night will continue to be cloudy with a few lingering showers.  Lows will be in the mid 40s.

The two systems will be east of Louisiana on Sunday.  This will put an end to the rain and we will become partly cloudy.  It will be cooler with highs in the upper 50s.  Much colder air will arrive on Sunday Night with lows in the upper 30s on mostly clear skies.

Grab that warm coat as you head out the door, and have a great day! -Dave

The Unseasonably Cool Weather Continues

Short Term Forecast :  It is a very cold morning across the Capital City with clear skies and temperatures in the 30s.  A light freeze is expected!  I hope that you brought in your plants last night.  Take that jacket with you this morning. An area of high pressure remains over the Southeast U.S. today.  This will keep us sunny and with the northwest winds over us, we will stay cool.  High temperatures will be in the upper 50s. Another freeze is expected tonight for the Baton Rouge area.  We will be clear with calm winds and very good radiational cooling.  Low temperatures will fall into the upper 20s to lower 30s.  The NWS has issued a Freeze Warning for areas along and north of the I-10/12 corridor from 2 AM to 8 AM Wednesday Morning.  The freeze could last 2 to 6+ hours and that would be long enough to kill any vegetation.  Make sure you bring in your plants or at least cover them tonight!  Bundle ...

Major Snowstorm Headed To Northeast US Tomorrow

For all of my friends and family that live in the Northeast US...here is my latest analysis of the winter storm heading your way on Friday into Saturday: The same area of low pressure that brought the heavy rain and thunderstorms to Louisiana last night and this morning will be moving up the East Coast on Friday.  It will get much stronger and become a  Nor' Easter that will impact all the major cities from Philly to NYC to Boston as well as inland areas. Delmarva to NJ Coastal Areas :  Winter Storm Warning in effect from Friday AM until Saturday AM!  It looks like it will start out as a brief period of snow along the coast in the morning then change into a windy rain during the day.  Then go to a heavy snow late Friday into Saturday Morning.  Snow accumulations of 4-8" are possible.  Some minor ice accumulations are possible too. Winds will be sustained around 30+ mph and coastal erosion will be possible too. NE PA : Winter Storm Warning from 10...

Flash Flood Watch now until Thursday Evening for WBRZ Viewing Area

The NWS in Slidell, LA has issued a  Flash Flood Watch for all of the WBRZ Viewing Area starting now and continuing until Thursday Evening. Rain has been falling for the last few hours and we have already picked up over 1.30" in Baton Rouge.  This is WAY more than the forecast models were predicting for this time.  The area of low pressure continues to develop over South Texas and a warm front will move up from the Gulf of Mexico by Wednesday Morning.  This will spread widespread rain and a few thunderstorms over Southern Louisiana all night and into Wednesday.  Then it looks like we will taper off the rain to just scattered showers during the day on Wednesday. On Wednesday Night, a cold front will move out of Texas into Louisiana.  As this happens, a squall line of thunderstorms is expected to move ahead of it and through Baton Rouge on Thursday Morning.  Some of these storms could be strong to severe with damaging winds and a few tornadoes. ...
