A few nice days before rain returns Saturday

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - A cold front that passed the area late last night will deliver nice weather to conclude the work/school week. Temperatures will take a nice dip in the coming days.

We top out in the low to mid 70°s today under mostly sunny skies. Friday will be even cooler. Grab a jacket for the early morning as lows dip into the mid 40°s. Clouds will be on the increase Friday, but most of the day stays dry. A few late evening showers will be possible as we await the arrival of our next rain maker.

An area of low pressure will be pushing east across the country over the weekend. Moisture streaming north out of the Gulf will trigger off and on rain showers through the day Saturday. While the entire day won’t be wet, make sure you have an indoor option for any outdoor plans Saturday.

A cold front will sweep through late Saturday into early Sunday morning. This will allow for a drier second half of the weekend. Temperatures will also stay cool through the weekend with the clouds and rain on Saturday and the passing front for Sunday.

We stay cooler than normal into next week as yet another rain maker and cold front moves through the area during mid-week. Tuesday rain will be likely. It’s too early to tell if severe weather will be an issue. Once again temperatures will take a slight dip to end next week.
