Another sunny, unusually warm day is ahead for Baton Rouge. The heat continues through the workweek, but a cold front arriving Friday night should finally bring a noticeable change for the weekend.
Today and Tonight: Patchy dense fog is the main concern early this morning, especially in low-lying areas and near waterways. A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 9 a.m. for parts of the region, so allow extra time for the morning commute if visibility is reduced.
Once the fog clears, expect plenty of sunshine and highs climbing into the lower 90s. Skies will stay mostly clear tonight, with temperatures dropping into the 60s.
Up Next: The sunshine and unusual warmth continue through Friday, with highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s and little to no chance of rain. Another round of patchy fog could develop early Wednesday morning.
A cold front will move through Friday night, bringing cooler air but very little, if any, rainfall. By Saturday and Sunday, highs should settle into the lower 80s, with overnight lows dipping into the 50s inland. It will finally feel more like fall across the Capital Region.
Tropics: The National Hurricane Center says development of a disorganized low-pressure system in the eastern tropical Atlantic is becoming unlikely as stronger upper-level winds move in. The chance of tropical development has dropped to near 0%.
