Staying Blustery All Day In New Orleans

We will have a blustery day across the New Orleans area. Expect to see plenty of clouds with more cold and windy conditions. We could also see some drizzle or light rain from time to time. Highs will only be in the mid 40s and it will feel like the 30s. Bundle up all day! Tonight will be partly cloudy and cold with lows north of the lake in the lower 30s and south of the lake in the upper 30s. Protect plants, pets and people.

Some sunshine will return on Tuesday, but it will stay cool as an area of high pressure sits just north of us. Highs will be in the mid 50s. Tuesday Night will not be as cold with lows in the 40s. We will warm up on Wednesday as the high pressure moves east of Louisiana. It will be partly cloudy with highs in the mid 60s.

Our next cold front is forecast to move through on Thursday and it will bring us a few showers. However, it is not going to be as strong as this last one. Highs will be in the 60s, but they will likely fall slowly in to the 50s during the day.

High pressure will build over us on Friday with plenty of sunshine and highs in the upper 50s.

Christmas Weekend: Saturday will be partly cloudy and warmer as southerly winds return. Highs will be in the upper 60s. Christmas Day is forecast to be a warm one with partly to mostly cloudy skies and a slight chance for a shower. Highs will be in the lower 70s.

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...

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...
