Good morning. Louisiana. I'm Michael Nally. If you woke up to the sound of rain hammering your roof, you weren't dreaming. Nearly five inches fell overnight across parts of the state. Baton Rouge took the worst punch — streets turned to rivers, drains gave up. That heavy band has finally pushed east, but the sky's not done with us yet. Today brings patchy fog and scattered thunderstorms rolling through. Down in New Orleans and the southeast, storms fire up this morning through early afternoon — peaking around 1 P.M. Highs hit 80 degrees with light south winds. Up in Baton Rouge, same story — storms most active through mid-morning, then easing. You'll also reach 80 degrees. Northwest Louisiana near Shreveport catches a break. Just a slight chance of rain before 10 A.M., then partly sunny skies take over. You'll top out at 76 degrees. Tonight, fog returns statewide. Lows drop to the upper 60s — 68 in New Orleans, 67 in Baton Rouge, 63 in Shreveport. Monday stays muggy and unsettled. Scattered showers and storms develop, especially across northern parishes. Highs climb to 82 in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, 79 in Shreveport. Tuesday and Wednesday turn hot — record-challenging heat with highs in the mid 80s. But a cold front barrels through Wednesday night with strong storms and gusty winds. Gusts could hit 40 miles an hour. Behind that front. Thursday clears out beautifully. Highs in the mid to upper 60s, much lower humidity. Friday and Saturday look gorgeous — sunny skies, highs in the mid to upper 70s. One more thing. Clocks spring forward tonight. You lose an hour of sleep, but we're gaining daylight. Sunrise tomorrow at 7:24 A.M., sunset at 7:09 P.M. See you this afternoon.
Good evening. Louisiana. I'm Michael Nally. In Here's situation, warm, unstable air from the Gulf is clashing with slightly cooler air filtering down from the north. That collision is fueling rounds of showers and thunderstorms. And some of them could pack a serious punch. Down in Southeast Louisiana. New Orleans and Baton Rouge are ground zero today. A Flash Flood Warning is in effect until midnight. Some spots have already seen 2 to 3 inches of rain. And another 2 to 4 inches could dump on top of that. That’s a recipe for street flooding, especially in low-lying areas. You’re sitting at 69 degrees this evening, but the humidity makes it feel heavier. By tomorrow, highs push to 79 degrees, but storms fire up again by noon. If you're heading to the French Quarter or out toward Slidell, keep the rain gear handy. In Capital sees same soggy story with a twist, fog. Patchy fog rolls in overnight, mixing with scattered storms that could drop half an inch to three-quarters of an inch of rain. Lows dip to 68 degrees—muggy even after dark—before rebounding to 79 degrees Sunday. The heaviest activity hits between 9 A.M. and 3 P.M., so if you're hitting the farmers market, watch the radar. Up in Northwest Louisiana. Shreveport and Monroe are catching a relative break. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect until 9 P.M. Near the Arkansas line, but the front weakens as it moves south. You’ll see heavy rain early—another half-inch to three-quarters—but the severe threat drops fast. Lows tonight fall to 60 degrees before Sunday highs reach 74 degrees. The bigger picture? We’re stuck in a pattern pumping warmth straight from the Gulf. Tuesday brings record-challenging highs in the mid-80s. A cold front finally knocks us back to near 70 degrees by Thursday, but we flirt with 80 degrees again by next weekend. Tonight, storms peak between 8 P.M. and midnight statewide. Fog develops after 10 P.M., dense near rivers and lakes. Watch for isolated strong storms capable of 60 mile an hour winds or quarter-sized hail, especially north of I-10. We’re 13 days from the spring equinox, but Louisiana is already in full spring mode—minus the azaleas, plus the thunderstorms. Charge your phones and keep the weather alerts on tonight. See you tomorrow.
Good morning. Louisiana. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside right now and you’ll feel it. That thick, tropical air is hanging over the state like a heavy, steamy blanket. We're sitting at 72 degrees under overcast skies. And yes, that’s exactly where we started the night too. There's no cooling off here folks, just pure, sticky March warmth. Here comes the stormy showdown. Northwest Louisiana is already in the thick of it with severe thunderstorms rolling through. You're seeing 81 degrees there, but it feels more like a summer squall line. Some of these storms could pack damaging winds, hail. And even an isolated tornado. Definitely not your typical March morning. Down in the Capital Region. Baton Rouge hits 85 degrees with storms firing up by midday. The front stalls nearby, so expect rounds of heavy rain through tonight. Some spots could see over an inch. If you're driving through low-lying areas later, watch for rising water. Southeast Louisiana, including New Orleans, stays milder at 82 degrees. Patchy fog lingers near the coast early, then storms bubble up by afternoon. The real story here's a soggy Sunday. Thunderstorms are likely, with some downpours lasting into Monday. Tonight, storms rumble statewide. Lows only dip to the upper 60s. You read that right—absolutely no relief from the humidity. Looking ahead, the wet pattern sticks around. Monday brings scattered storms, then a brief dry spell Tuesday before another front arrives midweek. By Thursday, we finally cool down. Highs near 70 and lows in the 50s feel almost normal for March. We're gaining nearly 2 minutes of daylight daily. Spring equinox is just 13 days away. Keep those gutters clear today.
