Short Term: We will have one more day of dodging those afternoon showers and thunderstorms. However, the overall coverage of them will be lower thanks to some drier air moving toward Louisiana around an upper-level low sitting over the Northern Gulf of Mexico.

August 24, 2010

By Meteorologist Dave Nussbaum

Short Term: A stationary front is going to be moving through Baton Rouge today, and it will settle along the coast tonight. There will not be much energy with it, so I am not expecting much in the way of storms this afternoon. A stray one will be possible, but most of you... more »
