Today will be another gloomy one across the region. We will have foggy conditions sticking around for the morning with mostly cloudy skies all afternoon.  It will be mild with highs in the upper 60s.  Dense fog will be an issue tonight across the area with mostly cloudy skies.  Lows will be around 60.  

Get ready for a mild and foggy Christmas Weekend!  An area of high pressure over the Gulf of Mexico will slowly move to the east toward Florida. This will bring back southerly flow over SE LA all weekend, and that means much warmer temperatures.  We will start out Saturday/Christmas Eve with some dense fog and it could stick around well into the day. Otherwise, it will be mostly cloudy and mild with highs in the mid 70s.  Saturday Night will be cloudy with more dense fog. Santa will need Rudolph to guide his sleigh for sure!! Lows will be in the 60s.  

Christmas Morning will be very foggy with some mist and temperatures in the 60s.  The fog will likely stick around for much of the day with cloudy skies, so please be careful if you are traveling.  Visibilities will likely be less than 1/4 mile.  We will stay mild with highs in the mid to upper 70s.  

Next week continues to be foggy and mild with a slight chance for rain Monday through Wednesday as the ridge remains off the East Coast.  Highs will be in the 70s.  Then on Thursday/Friday Morning a strong cold front is forecast to move through and this will bring us scattered showers and storms.  It will also help to drop the temperatures by Friday with highs in the 50s or cooler. 

I want to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Kwanzaa! -Dave Nussbaum

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...
