A boundary separating cool, dry air and warm, humid air will be set up between Zachary and New Roads. This means that temperatures will be trending about 10 degrees cooler for areas around New Roads. Click on the video forecast for the fill temperature track. Tonight, temperatures will be in the 60s for the Baton Rouge area and 50s for areas northwest.

On Thursday night, the boundary will move all the way to the coast. That will bring temperatures down into the 40s and 50s heading into Friday morning. Friday will have a few leftover showers after the boundary passes, skies will be partly cloudy, and temperatures will max out in the 60s. Temperatures falling into the 40s by Friday night for the first parades of the weekend. Saturday is looking clear and cool with temperatures in the low 60s in the afternoon.
