Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Louisiana Weather Podcast — it's Wednesday, February 25th. You woke up to 51 degrees.

You're hitting 73 degrees under mostly sunny skies. South winds running 5 to 15 miles an hour, just enough to feel pleasant. Tonight settles at 64 under mostly cloudy skies. Head up to the Capital Region and you started at 51 around 5 A.M. By 2 P.M., you're climbing to 74 degrees. Partly sunny with those same gentle south breezes. Tonight drops to 63 degrees.

Partly sunny with south winds steady around 12 miles an hour, gusting to 50 miles an hour. ...
