Baton Rouge weather: Slight increase in rain chances this weekend
TONIGHT: Skies will be mostly clear. Lows will be in the upper 60s and low 70s.
TOMORROW: Rain showers will be ongoing along the Louisiana coast for most of the day on Friday. Inland areas will stay mostly dry, outside of a stray shower or two. Highs will be in the upper 80s.
LOOKING AHEAD: Rain chances will remain fairly low through Saturday, outside of a stray shower or thunderstorm. The chance for rain will increase to 40% on Sunday, as an area of low pressure slings moisture into south Louisiana from the Gulf. The heaviest of the rain will remain along the Louisiana coast, but there will be passing showers and a few storms through out the day Sunday. There will also be minor coastal flooding due to a persistent east wind continuing through the weekend. A small craft advisory will be in effect through Sunday, so boaters be advised. Monday will feature a more summertime pattern with pop-up afternoon thunderstorms.
TRACKING THE TROPICS:
The National Hurricane Center has highlighted the central Atlantic with a low chance of tropical formation over the next seven days as another tropical wave moves off the coast of Africa. Organization is possible in the long range.
There is another area highlighted off of Florida’s southeast coast with a very low 10% chance of tropical development. This is the same tropical wave that will help to enhanced rain coverage along the Gulf Coast this upcoming weekend.
