No...this isn't somewhere up north! This is Lafayette, Louisiana, getting near blizzard conditions as they are under a Blizzard Warning! Baton Rouge NOT under that warning, but still a Winter Storm Warning. 4-8 inches expected. wafb.com?utm_medium=social&u…
Good news and bad news...First, the bad news. This weekend is shaping up to be a wet one as a COLD FRONT and ample Gulf/tropical moisture surge across our region. If you have outdoor plans this weekend, you may need a backup plan, with high rain chances both Saturday and Sunday.
Get ready to break out the rain gear, but not yet, as we'll open the work week dry. Rain chances will rise Thursday into the weekend as a COLD FRONT moves into our area. There will be plenty of moisture coming in from the Gulf, which could cause bigger rain chances / amounts.
How bout this to start your weekend...64 this Saturday morning in Baton Rouge! This is the coolest we've been since MAY 14th!!! Great weather this weekend with lower humidity. The football forecast looks nice for both LSU Football and Southern Jaguars Athletics. Have fun!
Here's a look at the GRAF model for the upcoming Nor'easter. Looks like multiple major cities will be in the path of high winds, rough seas, and heavy rains this weekend.
NOR'EASTER APPROACHING THE EAST COAST...Rough seas this Friday morning along the Atlantic coast. This is the boardwalk at Ocean City, New Jersey on SKY9.
Hey, Baton Rouge...SIX SEVEN! Maybe it isn't cool to say anymore, but it sure feels cooler on this Friday morning! The weekend weather looks great, get out and enjoy the lower temperatures and lower humidity!
Rhyming storm names. POLO, NOLO, AND GONZALO. Hurricane Polo is still a beast at cat 5 and 160 mph winds this Friday morning as it moves away from Mexico; while another hurricane, Nolo, is moving near Hawaii. Tropical Storm Gonzalo formed off the African coast, and is no threat.
POLO, NOLO, AND THE NOR'EASTER! There is a trio of big storm systems. Hurricane Polo is a major, category 5 off the Pacific coast of Mexico, Tropical Storm Nolo will become another major hurricane, moving towards Hawaii, and a Nor'easter is expected to impact the northeast!
HURRICANE POLO INTENSIFIES BACK TO A CAT 5! Scary-looking storm off the Mexican Pacific coast, as Polo is up to 160mph winds this Thursday morning. It will move away from the Mexican coast, but still producing flooding rains down there.
The Autumnal equinox is this Tuesday at 7:04 PM CDT, marking the beginning of the fall season. We get the four seasons due to the earth's 23.5 degree tilt...just in case you were wondering. We'll get the next cool front late Wednesday, dropping humidity at the end of the week.
Here's the football forecast for both Oxford, Mississippi (LSU vs Ole Miss) and for Baton Rouge (Louisiana Christian vs Southern) this Saturday night. It will be warm and dry, with mainly clear skies and light winds. Enjoy the games! Happy TGIF!
WE DID IT! Temperatures starting in the upper 60s this Friday morning, for the first time since June 5th in Baton Rouge! We could hit upper 60s again Friday night into Saturday AM! Let's geaux Fall!
