September 2009 Archives
An autumnal area of high pressure will remain overhead today. This means lots of sunshine, low humidity, and highs only around 80. Enjoy it while we've got it, though, because humdity will slowly creep back in tonight. This will be followed by a muggier day on Thursday. As moisture increases Thursday, so will the clouds, but we still should remain rain-free. A cold front will quickly roll in on Friday and with lots of humidity around, sho... It will remain very nice for another day and half before humidity starts to increase on Thursday ahead of a strong front on Friday. Some strong thunderstorms are possible on Friday. Cool lows overnight north of the lake with low to mid 50s. South of the lake in the low to mid 60s. Nice sunshine and low 80s Wednesday afternoon. Same for Thursday morning, 50s north and 60s south. Highs in the mid 80s with more humidi... Dry, cooler air will continue to pile-drive in from the north as a strong cold front moves well off the coast. Today and tomorrow, expect lots of sunshine, mixed with a few patchy clouds, accompanied by low humidity and comfortable temperatures. Highs through Wednesday afternoon should only get up into the lower 80's and in fact, Wednesday, and even Thursday, morning temperatures should start off only in the 50's on the Northshore and 60's ... After a hot and humid, but rain-free, Sunday we're going to do it all over again for our first day of the new workweek. Today should be the end of the 90's and stickiness though! A cold front will swing through later today, ushering in much cooler and drier weather by tonight and tomorrow. Lows tonight under clearing skies and free-falling humidity levels should reach near 70 in the city and along the coast, with generally 60's elsewhere, a...
Over the next few days, after peaking on Saturday, rain chances and discomfort levels should on the decrease. One cold front has turned stationary nearly overhead, not making much difference in our weather, except providing an increased 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms today. Saturday, as our next front approaches from the north and west, the chance of rain will increase to 50%, along with continued warmth and humidity. This front sh...
Sunday will be not as humid with a 20% chance for a shower or thunderstorm....
Some drier and slightly cooler air will make it's way for Monday & Tuesday. ...
30% on Thursday with highs around 90. Rain chances go up again Friday through Weekend at 40-50%. Drier air may reach the area on Tuesday. Tropics remain quiet. ...
Rain chances will continue all week with highs in the upper 80s to around 90. A front will stall to our west this week and not push through. There are signs that maybe by next Monday, some drie... After a relatively rain-free weekend spent in-between slow-moving systems, rain chances will ramp up again during the new workweek. Monday may be the one last relatively dry day as a cold front slowly edges in with a 40% chance of showers and storms by the second half of the day. Otherwise, for the very beginning of the week, expect partial sun, with humidity, and highs near 90. The sluggish front moving in from the west will finally... Sunday is looking like a carbon-copy of Saturday with partial sunshine and just a 30% chance of a spotty shower or thunderstorm, as we remain in between systems. The same regime will hold for Monday, as well, with a reduced chance of rain and some sunshine. Tuesday, our next slow-moving system will move in from the west, making for an unsettled middle and end portion of the workweek. With lots of humidity, highs each day should make 85 to ar...
Spotty thunderstorms may be around in the afternoon in Baton Rouge for tailgating. Kickoff's rain chance around 20%. Game will start in the low to mid 80s then fall into the upper 70s around 4th quarter. An area of low pressure in the central Atlantic will... As our stalled out storm system slowly slides nearby our neighborhood today, the chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms will creep up to 50%. With lots of moisture around, we'll see a good chance of a few downpours, especially during the midday and afternoon. With extra clouds and extra rain, temperatures should be capped in the mid and upper 80's. During the weekend, our storm will slowly weaken and begin to limp off to our east, us...
Friday morning will have a 30% chance for spotty showers or thunderstorms... A storm system remains stalled out to our northwest, drawing in plenty of Gulf moisture and warmth for the next couple of days. This should kick our chance of showers and thunderstorms up to about 40% to 50% through Friday. Skies will feature partial sun today and mostly cloudy skies tomorrow with highs both days 85 to 90. Finally, our system may creep off to our east by the weekend, drawing in somewhat drier air which will lower our rain c... As a storm continues to spin just out to our west, we will sit in a bit of a dry slot today, just like we did yesterday. By no means will this entail a totally dry day everywhere, but thunderstorm coverage should be limited to only 30% during the day. With some sunshine, temperatures should again vault to near the sticky 90-degree-mark. The storm will approach a bit closer Thursday and Friday. This means an increase in clouds and a ... Today will be almost a carbon copy of yesterday. With a storm nearly stalled out just to our west, expect extra clouds and a continued chance of showers and storms popping up (about a 40% chance of rain). In fact, rain chances may increase for Wednesday and Thursday as the storm slowly plods in our direction. Finally, toward the end of the week, the storm may slug far enough east of us to bring, again, only about a 40% chance of rain. Duri...
Tropics are quiet. ...An area of low pressure continues to swirl over us, cut off from the main highway of air that would typically take the storm quickly away. This means today as well as tomorrow will include about a 50% chance of rain. The storm may bobble east of us on Wednesday leaving us with a bit more sun and a 40% chance of showers and storms, but rain chances look to creep back up to 50% again by Thursday. The storm should finally pick up anchor and mo...

Until 4pm, there is an Urban Flood Advisory for all parishes south of the lake and the river parishes as well. A large area of rain and heavy rain covers most of SE Louisiana. Street flooding is possible in many locations today. The parishes included are Assumption, Jefferson, Lafourche, Orleans, Plaquemines, St Bernard, St Charles, St James, St John, and Terrebonne. ...Rain, rain, and more rain expected this weekend! Periods of rain will continue for your Friday, although so far they have been moving, so no street flooding. What we'll have to watch for this weekend are "training cells" that follow one behind another and create lots of rain in a short time. Most of us will see on/off rain each day this weekend, so outdoor plans need to be re-evaluated. If you're headed to the LSU game (at Tiger Stadium, 6pm S...
Fred at 10pm Thursday has w...
More of the same expected Thursday & Friday with rain chances around 50% and highs in the upper 80s. Fred is now a Category 2 hurricane as winds have weakened at 10pm to 105 mph. It is still no threat to any land area. See our Hurricane page for more information. ...Fred is now a major hurricane, but still no threat to land. Fred is almost 4000 miles from New Orleans, and is expected to stay in the Atlantic and gradually weaken over the next week. This weekend is looking more and more wet as tropical moisture moves in from the Gulf. A trough (weakness) will set up along the Gulf, and feed moisture into LA. A few models forecast a weak low to form along that trough and enhance the rainfall for us. ... Fred has strengthened into a Category 2 hurricane, but it is still no threat to the U.S. or any other land area. The track will take Fred Northward, into the cooler waters of the Atlantic. Fred will then start to dissipate. ...
Fred continues to strengthen. Winds at 10pm are 75 mph and is a category 1hurricane. Fred should remain in the Atlantic. ...Fred is a tropical storm this morning, well over 4000 miles from New Orleans.

No threat here from Fred. ...Rain chances for the next couple of days will be about 30% for spotty showers or thunderstorms. Highs will be in the upper 80s to around 90.

Winds are at 40 mph and this is expected to strengthen more. See our hurricane page for more information... As the disturbance and moisture feed that pasted us with plenty of heavy rain on Sunday slugs off to our east, we'll see rain chances on Monday drop back to 30%. This looks a bit more conducive for outdoor plans than the most recent forecasts for Labor Day. Any significant chances of rain over 40% should actually stay away all week as an area of fair-weather high pressure tries to establish some influence over our area. By next weeke... As a disturbance slowly slides through and the Gulf opens up for the remainder of the holiday weekend, expect lots of clouds and also a better chance of some rain and thunderstorms. For Sunday, expect a 70% chance of rain, and Labor Day, a 50% chance of rain. With the extra moisture, temperatures will have a tough time crawling out of the tolerable, but muggy, middle and upper 80's. Having some alternate indoor weekend plans handy certainl... Rain chances will be on the rise for the Labor Day Holiday Weekend. As the area of fair-weather high pressure that's been protecting us from rain and humidity lately continues to trek north and east, away from us, expect a 50% chance of showers and storms to return by Saturday, followed by a 70% chance of rain and thunderstorms Sunday, and a 60% chance of more of the same for Labor Day Monday. As the Gulf really opens up, especially by Sunda...
