A chance to dry out after pockets of heavy rain

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - The local area will get a window of opportunity to dry out after Monday and Tuesday’s heavy t-storms. Look for improving weather conditions for the rest of our Tuesday. Temperatures will be slightly cooler Tuesday through Thursday thanks to the passed cold front. Highs will be in the 70°s each day with lows in the 50°s.

A spotty shower or two can’t be ruled out Wednesday as a weak mid-level disturbance passes and Friday as we see a return of moisture from southerly winds. A weak cold front will try to reach the area over the weekend but is likely to stall and fizzle out before making it through. This will yield scattered t-showers in the forecast both Saturday and Sunday. The exact timing of when the best opportunity for rain both days will still need to be fine tuned. Don’t cancel any weekend outdoor plans at this time.

The first part of next week will be highlighted by a return of record threatening high temperatures. Highs are forecast to reach the upper 80°s and lower 90°s in a few neighborhoods Monday and Tuesday. Another weak front will arrive towards the end of our 10-day forecast helping to keep many from getting into those 90°s.
