Get Ready for Cozy Mornings and Ludicrously Cool Evenings

Baton Rouge, USASun Nov 17 2024
Brace yourselves for some delightful morning and evening temperatures! The weather is about to take a cozy turn, with light jackets becoming your go-to for the next few days. But don’t get too comfortable, because a big change is on the horizon. A mighty cold front is on its way, bringing rain and thunderstorms, and then a massive drop in temperature. Tropical Storm Sara is brewing in the Caribbean, so keep an eye on that too. This evening and tomorrow, you can expect crisp, clear skies. Temperatures will dip into the upper 40s and lower 50s, depending on where you are. Friday will be a beautiful day with sunny skies and low humidity, perfect for outdoor activities. Just make sure to grab a jacket for your high school football games, as the temperatures will plummet into the 50s during the evening. Over the weekend, the weather will shift again. Saturday morning will start chilly, with temperatures in the low 50s. The day will warm up but stay sunny, reaching the upper 70s. So, grab some layers if you’re heading to the Southern Jags game—you’ll need them once the sun goes down. Over in Gainesville, LSU fans can expect similar weather conditions. Check out the LSU Kickoff Weather Index to see just how rare these weather conditions are. By Sunday, expect some clouds to roll in as moisture returns to the air. Temperatures might even climb back into the 80s before the weekend ends. Early next week, get ready for a major weather event. A strong cold front will sweep across the country, bringing humidity and temperatures in the 80s by Monday and Tuesday. As the front moves in, there might be spotty showers on Tuesday, followed by a huge drop in temperatures. By the end of next week, highs could fall into the 60s, and lows into the 40s!
