Baton Rouge weather: Warming up through the week ahead

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Comfortable nights continue, along with warm afternoons.

TONIGHT: Clear skies, calm winds with cooler, less humid conditions will be the trend tonight as temperatures fall quickly into the 60s and finally the upper 50s for overnight lows.

TUESDAY: Expect another day of bright sunshine and northerly winds. Highs will warm up gradually into the upper 80s.

LOOKING AHEAD: Temperatures will gradually increase through out the week ahead. We will be in the upper 80s through the end of the week, with overnight lows returning to the 60s and even nearing 70 by Saturday morning. The mugginess will be on the rise as well. Another cold front will move through Saturday, into Sunday sparking up scattered showers and thunderstorms at times.

TRACKING THE TROPICS:

The only system that we are tracking in the tropics is Tropical Storm Lorenzo. Like most of the storms this season, Lorenzo will stay out in the open waters of the Atlantic. Elsewhere, tropical development is not expected over the next few days.
