Warm and Humid Today With Isolated Showers

I'm back after taking some time off for Thanksgiving.  It was nice to see my family and I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving too!

Short Term Forecast:  We have a warm and muggy start to this Tuesday with mostly cloudy skies, a few showers and some patchy fog.  The rain will be spotty for the morning hours and the fog will dissipate around the 9 AM hour.  Temperatures are in the 60s.


We will stay warm and humid today as an area of high pressure, located east of Louisiana, sends southwest to south winds over the state.  These winds will pump in the Gulf Moisture and that will give us a mix of sun and clouds this afternoon.  We will also continue to see isolated showers.  High temperatures will be in the upper 70s.

The clouds and spotty showers will stay over us overnight along with patchy fog.  It will be warm and muggy with lows in the mid 60s.

Week Ahead:  More of the same weather is on tap for Wednesday and Thursday.  We will have partly to mostly cloudy skies with spotty to isolated showers each day.  It will be warm and humid with high temperatures in the upper 70s and lows in the mid 60s.


A strong cold front will move into Louisiana on Friday and will push through Baton Rouge by Friday Night.  We will have scattered showers and storms ahead and along this cold front.  Some of the storms could be strong with gusty winds and have heavy rain.  High temperatures will be in the lower 70s.  Friday Night will have more rain and storms as the cold front pushes through town.  It will turn MUCH COLDER with lows in the lower 40s.

Weekend Outlook:  The cold front is forecast to stall along the Louisiana Coast all weekend.  This will keep it cool, but it will also keep rain in the forecast as the winds will push the rain over the city Saturday and Sunday.  Therefore, we will be mostly cloudy with scattered showers each day.  Highs will be in the lower 50s on Saturday and upper 50s on Sunday.  Lows will be in the mid 40s on Saturday Night and lower 40s on Sunday Night.

Take your umbrella with you and have a nice 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. ...
