Weather Report - February 27, 2013

Staying dry through the weekend

The WAFB forecast keeps the weather on the "dry side" through the weekend and into at least the early part of next week. The trade-off for the rain-free weather in the coming days is that we'll turn a bit cooler by Thursday, with highs only reaching the 50°s for most WAFB communities from Thursday through Sunday. But maybe the bigger story is the potential for freezes over the weekend given the relatively mild winter we've had thus far: only 6 freezes so far for Baton Rouge! However, our historical stats tell us that there is still nearly a 50-50 chance for another freeze, and it's looking like that will happen over the weekend. So stow the umbrella, but grab the jackets and sweaters! -- Jay Grymes / WAFB Storm Team
