Tonight & Tomorrow: Overnight, with the passage of a weak cold front, temperatures will tumble into the lower-40s. Some parishes and counties north of Baton Rouge could see patches of frost early tomorrow morning. By Wednesday afternoon, high pressure will dominate our area, eliminating any lingering cloud cover and creating a comfortably cool day. Afternoon temperatures will rise into the lower 60s around southern Louisiana.

The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted all of central and northern Louisiana as a region to watch for a severe weather on Saturday. This zone does include the northwestern fringes of the WBRZ coverage area, including parts of Point Coupee and West and East Feliciana parishes. While Baton Rouge is not included for now, this remains a threat we will be monitoring closely in the coming days.
