WBRZ - Baton Rouge

We begin this Tuesday with more very muggy conditions and mostly clear skies. Temperatures are in the mid to upper 70s.

This afternoon will be just like yesterday. It is going to be hot and humid with isolated showers and thunderstorms popping up with the daytime heating along with the sea breeze. Some of the storms could be strong with heavy rain, gusty winds and frequent lightning strikes. This weather pattern is all part of the ridge of high pressure that is sitting over the Eastern U.S. There is just enough moisture in place to help give some of you the rain in the afternoon hours. High temperatures will be in the mid 90s and the heat index will be around 100 to 105 at times.

The storms will end during the evening and we will be left with partly cloudy skies tonight. It will stay very warm and steamy with lows in the mid 70s.
