Short Term Forecast: It is a very warm and muggy start to this Wednesday with mostly cloudy skies. Temperatures are in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Normally we should be in the 40s for morning temperatures this time of year.
Get ready for another Spring-like afternoon across the Baton Rouge area. The area of high pressure is still sitting east of Louisiana and that is allowing southerly winds to pump in Gulf Moisture over us. This is making it unseasonably warm and humid for December. We will be mostly cloudy with some spotty showers this afternoon. High temperatures will be in the lower 80s.
More muggy weather is on tap tonight with mostly cloudy skies. Some fog is also expected across Southeast Louisiana with a few showers. Low temperatures will fall to the upper 60s.
Rest of the Week: The Spring-like weather continues on Thursday with more weather like we are expecting today. However, we could see a few more showers popping up. Highs will be around 80 and lows will be in the upper 60s with mostly cloudy skies on Thursday Night.
The weather will start to change on Friday. A strong cold front will move into Louisiana and push through Baton Rouge during the day. This will tap into the warm and humid air mass over us and that will set off scattered showers and thunderstorms. A few storms could be strong with gusty winds and have heavy rain. High temperatures will only be in the lower 70s.
The cold front will stall along the Louisiana Coast on Friday Night. We will turn MUCH COOLER in Baton Rouge with lingering clouds and showers. Low temperatures will be in the lower 40s.
Weekend Outlook: The front will remain stalled along the coast all weekend. This means we will have to deal with cool and dreary weather Saturday and Sunday. Each day will be mostly cloudy and cool with scattered showers. Highs will only be in the upper 40s on Saturday, but will be warming to the lower 60s on Sunday as an area of low pressure is forecast to form in the NW Gulf and push the front inland. Lows will be in the 40s both Saturday and Sunday Nights.
Enjoy the warm weather and have a great day! -Dave
