Majority below normal temperatures

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - A Sunday night cold front is setting the stage for a prolonged cool down into the work/school week.

Temperatures will be below normal (norm Lo: 51°; Hi: 73°) through Wednesday. The youngest kids will want a jacket for the morning bus stop with lows dipping into the 40°s. The afternoons will be very nice and comfortable.

A rapid warm-up takes place Thursday ahead of our next cold front. The cold front will arrive on St. Patrick’s Day Friday.

Showers and t-storms will be likely. We can’t rule out a potential for severe weather at this time. Rain amounts look to be manageable for most, but we also could see some periods of heavy rain. We still have to fine-tune the exact timing of storms on Friday, but it does look as though the majority of the rain will be out of here by the weekend.

Temperatures will take another decent dip next Saturday and Sunday. Outdoor plans may need a jacket in addition to sunscreen. Temperatures will remain below normal all the way into the middle of next week.
