Becoming warmer today with a few cold fronts headed our way this week

After a cold start to the day we will start to warm things back up today. An area of high pressure will be east of Louisiana today and that will bring back the southerly winds. We will become partly cloudy and milder with highs in the lower 70s. Tonight will be partly cloudy and not as cold with lows in the lower 50s north and around 60 south of the lake.

More mild temperatures are expected on Wednesday ahead of a cold front. This front will actually be dissipating as it moves into Southeast Louisiana. However, it will have enough energy to set off isolated showers and a few thunderstorms starting in the afternoon and lasting into Wednesday Night. Highs will be in the upper 70s. Lows will be in the mid 50s north and lower 60s south.

Thanksgiving Day looks to be partly to mostly cloudy and dry now as the remnants of the cold front sit along our coast. There could be a few showers along the coast, but the inland areas should remain dry. It will be mild with highs in the upper 70s.

Another cold front will hold together and move through on Friday/Friday Night, but this will not impact your Black Friday shopping interests in the early morning. Friday Morning will be partly cloudy and cool with temps. in the 50s to 60s. Then we will be mostly cloudy with only a few showers during the day on Friday since the front will not have much moisture to work with. Highs will be in the upper 70s.

We will become clear and a tad cooler this weekend. Saturday will be sunny with highs in the upper 60s. Sunday will be mostly clear with highs in the lower 70s. Lows will be in the 40s north and 50s south each night.

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.

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 ...

Today Is The 5th Anniversary of Hurricane Gustav

Early in the morning on September 1, 2008, Labor Day, Hurricane Gustav made landfall near Cocodrie, LA. It was a strong category 2 hurricane with 110 mph winds. At one point, right before Gustav made landfall over Western Cuba, winds were as high as 150 mph (Category 4). It did weaken as it crossed Cuba, but did regain strength as it sat in the middle of the Gulf as it became a Category 3 storm with winds of 115 mph. This storm became the worst one ever to impact Baton Rouge, LA. Sustained winds around 70 mph with a 91 mph wind gust was reported at Baton Rouge Metro Airport, 108 and 117 mph wind gusts were reported in Houma, LA. That caused significant damage and, at one point, the entire city of Baton Rouge was without power. Hurricane Gustav moved slowly inland and the eastern-edge of the eye wall moved along the Mississippi River into Baton Rouge. It continued northward through West Feliciana & Pointe Coupee Parishes. The worst...
