Tomorrow morning could have some areas of patchy fog. This week will have cool temperatures with highs in the 60's and lows in the 40's. Our next storm system could arrive this upcoming Saturday.

Tonight & Tomorrow: Tonight, we will bottom out around 51 degrees under partly cloudy skies. There also could be some patchy fog in the early morning hours. If you you encounter any of this fog while driving, just make sure to slow down. The clouds will thin out from what we are seeing right now by tomorrow. In the afternoon and evening hours, we will have partly sunny skies. These will mainly be high clouds. Under those clouds, our high temperature will get to around 68 degrees. There will also be no chance of rain.

Up Next: This upcoming week is going to be relatively quiet weather wise with highs in the 60's and lows in the 40's. We will be completely dry with lots of sunshine. Thursday morning looks to be the coolest morning with a low in the upper 30's. Temperatures will start to warm up by the end of the week in front of our next potential storm system on Saturday.

While we still will be dealing with mostly cloudy conditions for most of today, there should be a few peaks of sunshine especially in the afternoon and evening. There also could be some areas of fog early tomorrow morning.

Today & Tonight: We will finally dry out today as the rain threat is now over. The clouds are still expected to stick around though. Cloud cover will not be as thick as we have seen the last couple of days, so we could see a few peaks of sunshine. This should allow the high temperature to get into the lower 70's. Tonight, the low temperature will get to around 51 degrees under partly cloudy skies. There could be some areas of fog in the morning, so slow down if you encounter any fog.  

Up Next: Next week is going to be relatively quiet weather wise with highs in the 60's and lows in the 40's. There also should be a lot of sunshine as well. Thursday morning looks to be the coolest morning with a low in the upper 30's. We should start to warm up by the end of the week in front of our next best chance for rain on Saturday.

After much needed rain the past few days, Sunday will see lingering clouds around with mild conditions in place. No rain is expected over the next week.

Tonight & Tomorrow: As cloud cover lingers into the overnight hours, temperatures remain a bit mild and will dip into the upper 50s by daybreak. Overall, Sunday will be a comfortable and dry day. Sunshine should be able to break through the clouds at times and temperatures will rest in the lower 70s for the afternoon high. 

Up Next: The workweek's forecast is relatively quiet as a mix of sun and clouds can be expected each day with no rain chances. High temperatures return to the 60s on Monday with cooler morning lows in the 40s as well. By Wednesday, high pressure will dominate the area allowing for mainly sunny skies and temperatures during the day to be in the mid-60s. On Thursday morning we could see temperatures drop back into the 30s.

There is a FLOOD WATCH for Assumption, Ascension, St. James, Livingston, and Tangipahoa parishes today until 3pm. Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Low-water crossings may be flooded.

Isolated showers and storms continue to be possible early this morning. We’ll trend drier through the rest of Saturday with plenty of clouds hanging around. By Sunday, we’ll be completely dry – a trend that holds through next week.

Today & Tonight: The Tornado Watch has been lifted for all parishes in the WBRZ coverage area. This means the threat of severe weather is now over. 

After some early morning showers and storms, we will start to dry out for the rest of the day. There will be the chance of some spotty showers throughout the day, but most will stay dry. Highs will top out in the mid 70's under mostly cloudy skies. Tonight, we will bottom out around 57 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. 

Up Next: Clouds will stick around through Sunday but it will stay dry. Highs will be in the lower 70's. Relatively quiet weather sticks around next week also. We'll see a mixture of clouds and sun each day, and temperatures will get closer to "normal" values. By mid-week, we are looking at another potential cooldown with highs in the low to mid-60s. By Thursday morning, we might see lows dipping into the upper-30s.

The National Weather Service has issued a TORNADO WATCH for East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, Livingston, Ascension, Tangipahoa, Iberville, St. James, Assumption, and St. Mary parishes until 4 a.m. Saturday.

A TORNADO WATCH means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and/or damaging winds in and around the watch area. Be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. If a tornado warning is issued, seek shelter in a low-level, interior room of a sturdy building. Take pets (on a leash) with you, have on hard-soled shoes, monitor storm coverage on a wireless device and cover your head in the event of wind or tornado impact. For more on tornado safety, CLICK HERE.

In addition, a FLOOD WATCH takes effect at 6pm Friday evening and lasts into early Saturday morning for East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, Iberville, Ascension, Assumption, Livingston, St. James, St. Mary and Tangipahoa parishes.

Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. CLICK HERE for flood safety information.

Tonight & Tomorrow: Spotty showers on Friday afternoon will become more widespread as the night wears on. By 9-10 p.m., much of the area will be dealing with shower and thunderstorm activity. A ***FLOOD WATCH*** is in effect through late Friday night in areas that saw around 2-5" of rain on Thursday night. As a result, rain could runoff quickly leading to areas of flash flooding. In addition, rain intensity could lead to water piling up in the more urban areas leading to flash flooding in those areas. As a general baseline, we expect 1-2" of rain on Friday night. However, areas that end up under the heaviest rain may end up with 3"+.

A few storms on Friday may also be on the strong to severe side. While we do not expect widespread severe weather, be aware that a few storms may be capable of producing damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. A Tornado Watch is in effect along and south of the interstate until 4 a.m. Saturday. The best chance of that will in our southern parishes, closer to the coast. Be sure to have a way to receive weather alerts BEFORE you go to bed in case a Tornado Warning is issued in your location.

We'll see storms gradually becoming more scattered in the overnight hours, with scattered storms possible into Saturday morning. Cloud cover and rain will also keep temperatures on the mild side early Saturday, with lows in the mid to upper-60s. We'll see another lull in the rain late Saturday morning and into the early afternoon. That may be followed by another round of isolated or widely scattered storms by late afternoon and evening. It will get warm also, with highs in the mid-70s.

Up Next: The weather will turn much drier for the second half of the weekend. We'll keep mostly cloudy skies on Sunday, with high temperatures in the low-70s. Relatively quiet weather sticks around next week. We'll see a mixture of clouds and sun each day, and temperatures will get closer to "normal" values. By mid-week, we are looking at another potential cooldown with highs in the low to mid-60s. By Thursday morning, we might see lows dipping into the upper-30s.

Several waves of showers and storms are possible through Saturday, bringing locally heavy rain to the region. While there will be some dry time outside both on Friday and Saturday, rain gear may come in handy as we continue to dodge rain. By Sunday and early next week, the capital area will trend much drier.

Today & Tonight: Friday morning begins soggy with heavy rain and storms. Most of the heaviest rain is currently clearing out of the capital area, but areas to the east are still dealing with heavy rain. This activity should completely clear out of the viewing area by around 8am-9am. Throughout the rest of the day, spotty showers and thunderstorms will still be possible, just not to the extent we saw this morning. The high will top out around 79 degrees. Another wave of energy will pass through the atmosphere after dark and into the overnight hours. This is when we will once again see the possibility of numerous to widespread showers and thunderstorms. The low will bottom out around 67 degrees. An additional 1-2 inches of rain with isolated higher amounts will be possible through Saturday morning.

Severe thunderstorms will be possible with the activity during the day on Friday and in the overnight hours. As of right now, the lesser threat looks to be during the day, but there will still be the possibility of a spotty damaging wind gust. A little bit greater threat looks to be in the overnight hours. As of right now its still a low end threat (1/5), but there will be the chance of brief tornadoes, as well as damaging wind gust. 

Up Next: Clouds will stick around on Saturday and so will the threat of some isolated storms . It does not look to be an all day washout. Rain chances will diminish by Sunday but some clouds will still stick around.  It will be warm over the weekend with highs in the low to mid-70s. For next week, the overall pattern looks dry. We’ll also see a cooldown by midweek.

Several waves of showers and storms are possible through Saturday, bringing locally heavy rain to the region. While there will be some dry time outside both on Friday and Saturday, rain gear may come in handy as we continue to dodge rain. By Sunday and early next week, the capital area will trend much drier.

Tonight & Tomorrow: Showers return to the capital area late Thursday afternoon and evening. This could make for a soggy evening commute, so make sure to have the rain gear handy and prepare for weather-related delays on the drive home. While some of the activity may let up during the evening hours, we’ll still be dodging isolated to widely scattered showers.

Overnight, we’ll be watching a line of storms in central Louisiana. This appears to gradually shift toward the BR metro closer to daybreak, perhaps affecting the morning commute for some. There is an outside chance for one of these storms to be on the stronger side, especially in our southwestern parishes. The overall odds of severe weather are slim, but non-zero. Damaging winds and perhaps an brief spin-up would be the primary concerns.

Storm chances dwindle through the morning hours on Friday, with only a spotty shower chance during the afternoon. We might even see some breaks in the cloud coverage. This will help push high temperatures into the upper-70s. Despite a lull in rain coverage during the day, we expect another round of widespread showers and thunderstorms on Friday evening/night. Again, we can’t rule out a strong storm or two with the Friday night's round of storms.

Up Next: We’ll keep cloud cover into Saturday, along with a chance to see a few more isolated storms. If you have any plans on Saturday, know that it will not be a washout. Rain chances fade away on Sunday with clouds hanging around. By the time all things are said and done, it looks like we'll see roughly 2-3" across the area with locally higher amounts. It will be warm over the weekend with highs in the low to mid-70s. For next week, the overall pattern looks dry. We’ll also see a cooldown by midweek.

Rain and thunderstorms expected around the state today. Some storms could contain heavier downpours and gusty winds, especially this evening and overnight. While we do expect some dry time during the day Friday and Saturday, make sure to keep your raingear handy through the weekend as showers are likely each day. 

Today & Tonight: Thursday starts breezy and cool with clouds continuing to build and temperatures in the upper 40s across the state. Showers enter Louisiana this morning via the southwest corner and will make their way into SE Louisiana during the early morning hours. Temperatures this afternoon will be in the upper 60s. Isolated showers can be expected throughout the day and by the time you head home from work, some showers might be heavier in nature. Rain, and the breezy winds, with an occasional rumble of thunder and lightning will continue into the evening with the largest coverage occurring overnight tonight. Friday morning's commute could be a bit soggy as well, with possible spotty, strong thunderstorms with downpours and gusty winds.

 

Up Next: Some dry time is expected for the second half of Friday which will be mild with highs in the upper 70s. Any breaks of sun even leave a possibility for one or two spots to hit 80 degrees. Late Friday night, a cold front will push into the area with another round of rain and thunderstorms. Lingering showers could be around early Saturday but overall, the day does not look to be a total washout and activity is expected to wrap up by Sunday morning at the latest. Over the next few days, about 2-3 inches of rain is expected to add up with some isolated higher amounts. After weekend highs and lows in the 70s and 60s respectively, drier, more seasonable weather is expected next week.

A round of rain and thunderstorms will overspread the Gulf Coast later Thursday. The culprit storm system will cause unsettled weather to stick around into the weekend.

Tonight & Tomorrow: Clouds will continue to build in overnight as winds shift to the southeast. These two changes will likely cause lows in the upper 40s to occur closer to midnight with temperatures rising into daybreak. Thursday will be breezy with southeast winds of 10-20mph allowing moisture to flow into the region. Any glimpses of sunshine will be overtaken by overcast skies by midday as high temperatures top out in the upper 60s. Expect showers to begin during the afternoon hours. Some rain and slick spots will be possible for the drive home from work and school, so be prepared for slow going. The highest coverage of rain and thunderstorms will be Thursday evening and early into the night.

 

Up Next:  Once the main swath of rain passes on Thursday night, a more soupy and unstable environment will setup for scattered showers and thunderstorms to continue into Friday morning. In fact, spotty strong thunderstorms with downpours and gusty wind will be a possibility. Some dry time is expected for the second half of Friday which will be mild with highs in the upper 70s. Any breaks of sun even leave a possibility for one or two spots to hit 80 degrees. A cold front will push into the area Friday night into Saturday with another round of rain and thunderstorms. Timing that second round is a little bit more difficult at this time, but Saturday does not look like a total washout and activity is expected to wrap up by Sunday morning at the latest. All told, about 2-3 inches of rain is expected with some isolated higher amounts. After weekend highs and lows in the 70s and 60s respectively, drier weather and more seasonable temperatures are expected next week.

After a near freezing start to the day for many, a warming trend begins and will be noticeable tomorrow morning with lows at least 10° warmer. Thursday will bring the first round of showers and storms that will continue on and off throughout the weekend. 

Today & Tonight:  A *FREEZE WARNING* is in effect until 8am this morning along and north of I-10/12. The purple-shaded parishes and counties have the greatest chance of nearing the freezing mark. 

After the cold start, Wednesday afternoon will see temperatures in the mid-60s under mostly sunny skies. The more mild afternoon temperatures indicate the start of a warming trend. Later in the day, winds will shift to be out of the SE and will allow moisture to filter in from the gulf. Clouds will gradually increase throughout the afternoon and into the evening. Overnight lows will be much more seasonable, with thermometers reading in the upper 40s. 

Up Next: Breezy, southerly winds on Thursday will allow for a warm/moist flow off the Gulf.  We’ll see showers and thunderstorms moving into the region from west to east tomorrow. It appears that rain might not arrive until the afternoon or perhaps the evening in the capital area. The highest rain chances will be on Thursday night, with lingering showers and storms possible on Friday.

Grab your rain gear on Thursday and keep it with you throughout the weekend. Rain chances remain through early Monday as multiple waves of showers and storms could make their way through southern Louisiana. Keep in touch with the Storm Station we refine the weekend forecast in the coming days.

Cool and dry weather will remain in place for a little while longer as high pressure continues to control the area. The coldest air of the week arrives on Wednesday morning, where some may flirt with the freezing mark. We’ll lose the influence of the high-pressure system soon thereafter. As that happens, we’ll be trading the jackets for umbrellas.

Tonight & Tomorrow: Tuesday night will feature clear skies, light winds, and low humidity – a classic recipe for cooling off very efficiently. We’ll see a low temperature in the middle-30s in Baton Rouge. However, areas outside the city could reach the freezing mark. A *FREEZE WARNING* is in effect overnight and early Wednesday along and north of I-10/12. The purple-shaded parishes and counties have the greatest chance of nearing the freezing mark. You’ll want to protect tender plants from the cold by covering them up or bringing them inside, even if you’re a parish or two south of the Freeze Warning. Make sure outdoor pets and animals also have warm shelter.

Wednesday will be another mostly sunny day. There will be a few more high clouds, but it will still be warm with highs in the mid-60s.

Up Next: Southerly winds will kick into gear on Thursday, allowing for a warm/moist flow off the Gulf. As temperatures and humidity increase, rain chances follow suit. We’ll see showers and thunderstorms moving into the region from west to east on Thursday. It appears that rain might not arrive until the afternoon or perhaps the evening in the capital area. The highest rain chances will be on Thursday night, with lingering showers and storms possible on Friday.

A few more waves of rain will be possible over the weekend as well. As we get closer to the weekend round(s) of rain, we’ll be able to zero in on the finer details. Keep in touch with the Storm Station we refine the weekend forecast in the coming days.

Plenty of sunshine around today as an area of high pressure sits over the state. Temperatures remain chilly and the coldest temperatures of the week will be recorded tomorrow morning. By Wednesday afternoon we will begin to warm and rain chances return to the state by Thursday. 

Today & Tonight: After another cold morning, sunshine will be plentiful throughout the day today and temperatures will climb into the lower 60s. Dry conditions continue today and into the overnight. With clear skies and calm winds over the next 24 hours, temperatures early Wednesday will be the coldest of the week. 

There is a *FREEZE WARNING* in place for many SE Louisiana parishes and Mississippi counties Wednesday morning from 1-7am as sub-freezing temperatures as low as 30° are possible. Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold. To prevent freezing and possible bursting of outdoor water pipes they should be wrapped, drained, or allowed to drip slowly. 

Up Next: Overnight Wednesday, winds shift to be out of the south allowing for warmer temperatures and added moisture to move into the state from the Gulf of Mexico. Morning temperatures beginning on Thursday will be more comfortable and afternoon highs as well trend warmer as we head towards the weekend. With the shift in weather pattern, the chance to see rain showers and possible thunderstorms returns to SE Louisiana on Thursday, and will be on and off throughout the weekend. While some of the finer details may change in the coming days, the overall pattern seems to support more unsettled weather.

High pressure dominates our weather pattern for the first part of the week, keeping us cool and dry. That changes for the second half of the week as high pressure shifts east. Not only will we get warmer, but it opens the door for a few systems that could bring rain late this week and into the weekend.

Tonight & Tomorrow: A high cloud deck will be with us on Monday night. This will help hold back temperatures by a few degrees. Even so, it will be cold with temperatures in the 40s for much of the overnight stretch. We could even see temperatures dipping into the upper-30s by daybreak on Tuesday. Despite needing coats early on, we can trade those for jackets during the afternoon. High temperatures will climb into the 60s. The clouds will break as well, resulting in mainly sunny skies throughout Tuesday.

Up Next: High pressure remains in control through Wednesday, keeping us cool and dry. Wednesday morning looks like our coldest morning this week, with lows in the mid-30s. Rural pockets and areas north of the BR metro might even flirt with the freezing mark. Afternoon temperatures on Wednesday will be more pleasant, peaking in the mid-60s.

By Thursday, high pressure will have pushed east. This will allow winds to return out of the south, pushing warmer and muggier air inland from the Gulf of Mexico. This will also result in increased rain chances later this week and into the weekend. Our first wave of showers and storms arrives on Thursday from west to east. Rain coverage increases through the day, likely peaking on Thursday night. Friday looks like a drier day, but we still can’t rule out some lingering rain. A few more waves of showers look possible over the weekend. While some of the finer details may change in the coming days, the overall pattern seems to support more unsettled weather.

A cold but quiet start to the week in Louisiana as high pressure keeps temperatures down and rain chances limited. By Thursday we will begin to see a shift in the weather pattern and could see showers and storms by the weekend. 

Today & Tonight: Clear skies and cold temperatures kick off the last Monday of November. Temperatures that begin in the upper 30s will only climb around 58 degrees this afternoon. Clouds will build throughout the day and skies will be mostly cloudy by this evening. Coats will be needed both today and tomorrow morning as temperatures overnight dip back into the 30s!

Up Next: Grab your sunglasses on Tuesday as clouds will clear and sunshine will dominate! Afternoon temperatures return to the 60s tomorrow and Wednesday despite temperatures in the 30s each morning.

By Thursday when an area of high pressure that keeps us dry and cool for the first half of the week moves East, winds shift to be out of the south allowing for an increase in moisture around the state. That is when we will see the next chance of rain and the potential for showers and storms will stick through the weekend. Temperatures beginning Thursday will also shift as they head a bit above average into the 70s each afternoon. While it is still too far out to try to dig into the details, the overall pattern seems to support more unsettled weather late this week and into the weekend.

Tonight & Tomorrow: Despite some spotty light rain in the capital city during the morning, the rest of Sunday turned out sunnier and warmer than initially expected. A cold front will pass through on Sunday evening, setting us up for a much chillier start to the workweek. We anticipate a few high clouds into early Monday morning, and it will be cold. Morning lows should dip into the upper-30s. Coats will be needed as we head out the door!

Although we start the day with a fair amount of sunshine, high clouds eventually return. By late afternoon and evening, we’ll see skies turning partly sunny to mostly cloudy. It’ll be a chilly day too, with highs in the mid to upper-50s.

Up Next: Although clouds return on Monday night, they’ll exit the following morning. In fact, Tuesday looks like a mainly sunny day! An area of high pressure will controls our weather pattern for the time being, keeping us cool and dry at least through Wednesday.

However, that high will scoot east on Thursday, allowing winds to return out of the south. Not only will this warm us up for the end of the week, but it will also allow moisture to return. Rain chances begin increasing on Thursday evening and stick around through the weekend. While it is still way too far out to try to dig into the details, the overall pattern seems to support more unsettled weather late this week and into the weekend.

After some early morning showers, it will be dry throughout the rest of the day. A cold front will move through later today, and bring chilly temperatures for the beginning of this upcoming week.

Today & Tonight:  The northern half of the viewing area (including Baton Rouge) ended up dodging most of the shower activity earlier this morning. The highest rainfall totals with this system was closer to the coast and in the southern half of the viewing area. Regardless, this rain is now moving out of southeast Louisiana. The rest of the day is going to be dry with clouds sticking around. Our high temperature is going to top out around 65 degrees. The clouds will start to slowly clear by the evening.

Tonight, we will bottom out at a chilly 40 degrees under partly cloudy skies. Locations north of Baton Rouge could reach the 30's.

Up Next: Our high temperature on Monday will struggle to reach the 60's. Some clouds will move in Monday evening and last throughout most of the night. This will limit our low temperature, but it will still likely drop into the upper 30's. Plentiful sunshine is likely for Tuesday with highs in the lower 60's. We will stay dry through the middle of the week before a storm system potentially rolls through late Thursday into Friday.

Showers will be likely tomorrow, especially by daybreak. Accumulations look to be on the lighter side.

Tonight & Tomorrow:  Cloud cover will continue to build this evening and into the overnight hours. By daybreak, the temperature will be in the lower 50's and showers will be likely.

The best chance of showers tomorrow looks to be between 6am-10am. Showers look like they will be arriving a little earlier than previously thought. This makes sense because the cloud cover that is associated with this system has moved in earlier than expected. Accumulations look to be around 0.25'' - 0.50'' with isolated higher amounts (especially closer to the coast). Most of the shower activity should be out of here by the afternoon, giving way to cloudy conditions for the rest of the day. Our high temperature looks to only top out in the lower 60's.

Up Next: Temperatures will drop behind this system after a cold front moves through Sunday night. Highs will struggle to reach 60 degrees on Monday. We may even see low temperatures dipping into the middle and upper-30's on Tuesday and Wednesday morning. We will stay dry through most of the week, with our next best chance of rain coming at the end of the week.

The Tropics: A non-tropical low pressure system located over the eastern subtropical Atlantic is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. The low is forecast to move north-northeastward at 20 to 25 mph over much colder waters later today and tonight, and become embedded in a cold air mass with frontal boundaries. Therefore, it is unlikely that the low will transition to a subtropical or tropical cyclone.

Today will feature mild temperatures and plenty of sunshine. That changes tomorrow as showers look likely in advance of another cold front.

Today & Tonight: There will be plentiful sunshine today but it will be a bit filtered because of some high clouds. After a chilly morning start, we will warm up into the lower 60's for kickoff at tiger stadium. The high temperature today will be in the upper 60's. 

Cloud cover will begin to increase by midnight. By daybreak, the temperature will be in the lower 50's and there will be a chance of spotty showers.

Up Next: Shower activity will begin to increase as we go throughout the day on Sunday. This is due to an area of low pressure developing just off the coast. While showers will be spotty in the morning, we will see more scattered activity by the mid-morning and afternoon. Showers begin to exit after lunchtime, and we’ll be dry by evening. This rain should not accumulate to much. Most are looking at under 0.5”, aside from a few areas that end up under locally heavier pockets of rain.

Temperatures will drop behind this system after a cold front moves through Sunday night. Highs will struggle to reach 60° on Monday. We may even see low temperatures dipping into the middle and upper-30s on Tuesday and Wednesday morning.

The Tropics: Showers and thunderstorms remain disorganized in association with a non-tropical area of low pressure located over the eastern subtropical Atlantic. This system is forecast to move north-northeastward at 20 to 25 mph toward much colder waters and develop more pronounced frontal features during the next day or so, ending its chances of subtropical or tropical development.

If you have the opportunity to choose which day to get outside over the weekend, Saturday is the day! Despite a chilly start, afternoon highs will be rather comfortable. It’ll also be dry, which bodes well for the LSU game. However, Sunday will bring forth some changes. Another round of rain is possible, which might affect post-Thanksgiving travel.

Tonight & Tomorrow: The clouds were finally able to break on Friday, and we’ll see mostly clear skies sticking around on Friday night. Some high clouds may pass overhead in the overnight hours, but that won’t stop temperatures from getting very chilly. Morning lows on Saturday will likely end up in the middle-40s. Early tailgaters will want to layer up!

We’ll see more high clouds on Saturday, resulting in filtered sunshine through the day. Despite the chilly start, temperatures warm up nicely. We’re looking at temperatures in the lower-60s at kickoff for LSU’s final home game of the season. Afternoon highs will top out in the upper-60s to near 70°.

Up Next: An area of low pressure develops off the Gulf Coast early Sunday. This could bring another wave of showers to the region, potentially affecting post-holiday travel. A spotty shower can’t be ruled out closer to daybreak on Sunday. However, rain chances steadily ramp up through the morning. Rain coverage appears to be at its highest anywhere from mid-morning through about lunchtime in the capital area. Showers begin to exit after lunchtime, and we’ll be dry by evening. Overall accumulations should be on the lighter side. Most are looking at under 0.5”, aside from a few areas that end up under locally heavier pockets of rain.

We’ll turn cooler behind this system. Highs will struggle to reach 60° on Monday. We may even see low temperatures dipping into the middle and upper-30s on Tuesday and Wednesday morning.

The Tropics: A non-tropical area of low pressure is located over the central Atlantic. There is a small chance that the system could acquire subtropical or tropical characteristics during the next day or so. Beyond that, chances of further development are slim as the system moves into much colder waters. Regardless of what happens, there is no threat to the United States.

Temperatures will be in the mid 60's with partly sunny skies the next couple of days. Another cold front could enter on Sunday which will bring with it some potential rain and cooler temperatures.

Today & Tonight: After some early morning clouds and light sprinkles, clouds will start clear out by the afternoon. Clouds will go from overcast in the morning to partly sunny by the afternoon. Our high temperature is going to top out around 64 degrees. Tonight, we will get down to a chilly 44 degrees under partly cloudy skies.

Up Next: There will be come clouds around for Saturday but it will be more of the high cloud variety. This will give us "filtered" sunshine. Overall, Saturday is looking great for some college football. The high temperature is only going to top out around 67 degrees.

Sunday could be a different story. Clouds will return Saturday night and with them, some potential showers. This is all in advance of our next cold front. As of right now, rain coverage is held at 40% for Sunday morning and throughout the day.  We dry out into early next week, but the chill remains. Highs struggle to reach 60 degrees on Monday, and lows could dip into the 30's by Tuesday morning.

The Tropics: A non-tropical area of low pressure located over the central subtropical Atlantic is producing disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity, and the associated winds have decreased below gale force. This system could acquire some subtropical or tropical characteristics during the next day or two while it moves northeastward at 15 to 20 mph. The chance for subtropical or tropical development is likely to end by Sunday as the low moves over much colder waters.
