Baton Rouge is getting one more warm, sticky day before the weather turns more unsettled. Monday starts cloudy with temperatures in the low 70s, then climbs near 81 degrees, with a small chance of showers and easterly winds.
Monday Stays Warm And Mostly Cloudy
Rain should remain limited Monday, with the best chance for a brief shower coming before late afternoon. Otherwise, skies should remain mostly cloudy as the day goes on, though the humidity will keep it feeling more like late summer than early November.
Monday night will remain mostly cloudy, with temperatures around 70 degrees and light southeast winds. The forecast is a modest shift from the previous outlook, which had Monday looking largely dry while putting more attention on Tuesday; Hoodline's earlier forecast covered that setup.
Tuesday Brings The Week's Main Weather Concern
Showers could begin Tuesday afternoon, with the chance of rain and thunderstorms increasing into the evening. The National Weather Service expects a high near 84 degrees before showers remain possible Tuesday night, though thunderstorm coverage is uncertain and stronger storms could occur.
The overall severe-weather threat is considered low, but a few stronger storms could produce isolated damaging wind gusts. Rainfall totals are expected to stay below one-half inch for most locations.
Cooler Nights Arrive After Wednesday
Wednesday could begin with a few showers before turning mostly sunny, with a high near 80 degrees. Drier weather settles in Wednesday night, when temperatures drop to around 58 degrees, followed by sunny skies Thursday and a high near 80.
Friday and Saturday look mostly sunny and milder, with highs near 78 and 75 degrees, respectively. Precipitation chances remain rather low through the end of the forecast period, with meaningful rain more likely beyond Saturday.
For Baton Rouge, Monday's weather is mainly a warm-day planning issue, while Tuesday night is the stretch to watch for changing conditions. Coastal flood and small-craft advisories are in effect for parts of the Louisiana and Mississippi coast, but those advisories do not cover Baton Rouge.
