Tuesday: Tuesday will be a near repeat of Monday. Some patchy to dense fog may be out there early and then the sun will come out. Mostly sunny skies will bring temperatures again into the mid-80s and overnight temperatures will be in the mid-60s.

Wednesday: The WBRZ viewing area is under a level 2-3 severe risk. The level 3/5 ENHANCED RISK is maximized north, in Mississippi, but areas north of Baton Rouge are included in this risk category. South of Baton Rouge is included in the level 2/5 SLIGHT RISK. All areas are at risk for strong storms with winds gusting between 60-75mph+. Large hail, a few tornadoes, and localized flooding will also be a possibility.

A line of storms will approach the area around 2p.m. and it will be stormy in the Baton Rouge area until about 8 p.m. This timeline will likely shift. Stay connected for updated forecasts.

Friday will be similar with morning temperatures in the 50s and afternoon conditions partly cloudy with temperatures in the mid-70s. On Saturday, a round of showers and storms will roll through.
