Mainly Dry and Hot Pattern Continues Friday

High heat and high humidity will be around for a couple more days before a cold front arrives Saturday. Friday will continue the trend with limited rain chances. Only iso’d afternoon showers and t-storms will be possible. A few iso’d to sct’d t-showers are possible during the early morning start to Saturday as a trough works into the area. A cold front will then push into Southeast Louisiana during the afternoon once again triggering sct’d showers and t-storms. The front will stall along the coast allowing for drier, less humid, and slightly cooler air to work into the state for the start of next week. The biggest change will be morning lows which will be 5-10 degrees cooler. Afternoon highs will only decrease by a handful of degrees. Rain chances will start to increase towards the middle of the week as the front slowly drifts north back over the area. - Jeff Morrow, WAFB Storm Team

Hot, Mainly Dry on Thursday

Strengthening high pressure will keep things rather hot and relatively dry once again on Thursday. Look for highs to reach the mid 90°s around metro Baton Rouge, with rain chances less than 20%. The ridge of high pressure should begin to shift westward by Friday, allowing for a little better chance of rainfall. We'll go with a 30% rain chance on Friday and 30% - 40% for Saturday. It now looks like some drier air will sneak in for the second half of the weekend, keeping rain chances rather low on Sunday. Slightly cooler temps, along with scattered showers and t-storms, are expected early next week. - Steve Caparotta / WAFB Storm Team

Bit Drier Rest of This Week

Our weather should be somewhat drier through the remainder of the week as a ridge of high pressure centered to our west expands eastward a bit. We won't be rain-free, but daily rain chances should run about 20% through Friday. The lower rain chances will likely translate into a little more heat, with highs ranging from the low to mid 90°s. We don't see any huge changes in the extended outlook, with perhaps just a slightly better chance of showers and t-storms by the weekend. - Steve Caparotta / WAFB Storm Team

FW: Weather Report - June 20, 2013

Not As Wet Today

The wet weather yesterday led to highs only reaching the low to mid 80°s! Today though we see highs back into the 90°s. Rain coverage will be less today at about 30%. Morning lows Friday and through the weekend will be in the low to mid 70°s. A 20% coverage of afternoon t-showers will be possible on Friday meaning we’ll crank the heat up a couple of degrees with highs reaching the mid 90°s. Triple digit heat index values will be possible Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Sct’d showers and t-storms will be possible during the weekend. Some folks could pick up as much as 2” of rain. The weather turns drier for the start of the work week. An iso’d shower or t-storm will be possible meaning highs will be back into the mid 90°s. - Jeff Morrow / WAFB Storm Team

 

Weather Report - June 18, 2013

Better Rain Chances Today

The combination of an approaching cool front and several passing upper-air disturbances will result in better rain chances over the next couple of days. We'll go with a 50% chance of showers and t-storms both today and Wednesday, with highs topping out in the lower 90°s. It looks as though we may briefly see somewhat drier weather at the end of the week before better rain chances return over the weekend. - Steve Caparotta / WAFB Storm Team

Weather Report - June 10, 2013

Lower Rain Chances Today

Hotter and drier will be our weather words of choice for the upcoming week. We'll still see a few isolated showers and t-storms today, but rain chances will only run about 20% (a little higher closer to the coast). Even with a decent amount of cloud cover at times, highs should top out around 90° this afternoon. A ridge of high pressure currently centered to our west will build overhead as the week progresses. That will not only limit our rain chances to 20% or less each day, it will also help highs reach the mid 90°s by the mid to latter part of the week. And as it stands right now, it looks like hot and fairly dry weather will continue into next weekend. - Steve Caparotta / WAFB Storm Team

Weather Report - June 7, 2013

A Few T-Showers Today

Don’t worry; the weather will be mainly dry for tonight’s big super regional baseball game. A few sct’d t-storms will be possible around noon, but we should see drier conditions by late this afternoon. Highs today will top out in the upper 80°s. Highs will be back into the 90°s on Saturday as rain chances remain at about 10%. So rain should stay at bay once again for game 2 Saturday night. A summerlike pattern will then set up to start next week. Sunday will see hot and steamy conditions with a few iso’d to sct’d showers and t-storms possible each day. This trend will continue until a ridge of high pressure builds towards the end of the work week. Highs will reach the mid 90°s starting Wednesday as the ridge moves closer. - Jeff Morrow / WAFB Storm Team
