Spring Is Officially Here and It Will Feel Like It!

Spring officially arrived at 5:28 AM today, but it has felt like Spring here for the last few weeks!

We will feel like Spring today as high pressure sits in the Central Gulf of Mexico. This will keep SW winds over us today with partly cloudy skies. High temperatures will be in the lower 80s. Tonight will be partly to mostly cloudy with patchy fog. Lows will be in the 60s.

Tuesday through Thursday will continue to be warm and delightful even as a dry cold front moves through Wednesday Night. It will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy each day as the area of high pressure remains in the Gulf. We will have daily highs in the lower 80s. Lows will be in the upper 50s north to lower 60s south of the lake.

Friday will be a transition day from the nice weather to some stormy weather as a strong cold front heads our way. We will be mostly cloudy with a slight chance for a shower. Highs will be around 80. Friday Night will be mostly cloudy with scattered showers and thunderstorms. Lows will be in the 60s.

The cold front will move through on Saturday. It will set off scattered showers and storms as it taps into Gulf Moisture. Some of these storms could be strong to possibly severe. I will have a better idea on the strength of the storms by Friday. Highs will be in the mid 70s.

We clear out the rain on Sunday with mostly sunny skies. We will not cool-down behind the front as highs will be in the upper 70s.

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...
