Cold and windy weather today

The cold blast is here as an area of high pressure sits north of Louisiana!  Get ready for a blustery day across Southeast Louisiana.  We will become mostly sunny today, but it will stay windy.  It is going to be a cold day with highs only in the upper 40s, but the wind will make it feel like the 30s and 40s.  Make sure you bundle up!  

Tonight will be colder, but not as windy with clear skies.  Lows north of the lake will fall into the upper 20s with a light freeze likely.  Make sure you protect plants, pets and people.  South of the lake will drop into the upper 30s with some frost, so protect plants, pets and people there too.  

Saturday will be a beautiful day, but it will not be as cold.  However, it will still be cool with highs in the mid 50s.  Saturday Night will not be a cold either with lows in the upper 30s north and upper 40s south.  

The area of high pressure will move east of Louisiana on Sunday, and that will shift the winds from the NE to the SE.  This will warm us back up with partly cloudy skies.  Highs will be in the lower 70s.  

Next week will become more active, but not very cold.  One cold front will bring us rain on Monday with highs in the 70s.  The front stalls along the coast for Tuesday and Wednesday with a few showers possible each day.  Highs will stay in the lower 70s.  Then it looks like a stronger cold front will move through by Thursday, and this one will drop temperatures again with highs in the 50s.

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 ...

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. ...

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...
