Much Cooler and Breezy Today

The cold front has moved through and we will see an end to the rain today. An upper-level low will move across Tennessee and this will help to keep some clouds over us today. Expect partly to mostly cloudy skies with much cooler and breezy northwest winds around 15-20 mph. Highs will only be around 70°! This will make for some great weather for the New Orleans Air Show in Belle Chasse.

Tonight will become mostly clear and cool to chilly. Lows north of the lake will be in the upper 40s and south of the lake in the mid 50s. You will want a jacket on Monday Morning!

After a cool/chilly start to the day on Monday, we will have some very comfortable weather. High pressure will build over us from the west. We will have plenty of sunshine and milder highs in the upper 70s. Monday Night will not be as cool with lows in the 50s on both sides of the lake.

The area of high pressure will move east of us on Tuesday, and this will bring back southerly winds. We will be mostly sunny and warmer with highs in the lower 80s.

Forecast models are now showing a cold front moving into the area on Wednesday. We will be partly cloudy with a slight chance for a late-day shower. Highs will be in the mid 80s. The cold front will move through on Wednesday Night with a few showers or storms. Lows will be in the 60s.

We will not cool-down with this front. Actually, we will warm up behind it! Thursday and Friday will both be partly cloudy warm and becoming more humid. Highs will be in the mid 80s. Lows will be around 70.

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 up! Week Ahead : The area of high pressure will stay put through

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 am Friday until 7 am Sat

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 damage was seen along this line. Area
