Summerlike weather is sticking around, with temperatures climbing into the upper 80s and lower 90s through much of the workweek. A cold front late Friday should finally bring cooler air for the weekend, although rain chances will remain very low.

Today and Tonight:  Plan on plenty of sunshine and another warm afternoon across Baton Rouge and the Capital Region. Highs will reach the lower 90s, with some locations potentially approaching record territory for mid-October. Drier air should keep nighttime conditions more comfortable, though a little shallow fog could develop in low-lying areas around daybreak.

Up Next: The heat isn't going anywhere just yet. High pressure will dominate through Thursday, keeping skies mostly clear and rain chances near zero. Afternoon highs will continue running well above normal, with upper 80s and lower 90s expected through the end of the workweek.

A cold front is forecast to move through Friday night, bringing a noticeable change for the weekend. Saturday highs should fall into the lower 80s, while overnight temperatures could dip into the 50s. The front isn't expected to produce much rain, but it should briefly deliver the cooler fall weather many have been waiting for.

Tropics: The National Hurricane Center continues to monitor a disorganized area of showers and thunderstorms in the eastern tropical Atlantic, west of the Cabo Verde Islands. Development chances remain low at 20% over the next 48 hours and through the next seven days, as unfavorable upper-level winds are expected to limit further organization.
