Rain on the Horizon: What to Expect This Sunday

Baton Rouge, USASun Jan 12 2025
Hey there! If you enjoyed the sunshine on Saturday, prepare for a change. Sunday is bringing us mainly cloudy skies, with a good chance of rain as the day goes on. The clouds are moving in early, so don't expect much sun today. Rain will be light and scattered during the day. But as the sun sets, get ready for some heavier showers, especially close to the coast. Don't worry about severe weather, though—it's not expected. Rainfall could reach up to an inch, with a bit more near the coast and less further north. Temperatures will stay cool, with highs in the low 50s and lows in the upper 40s. Looking ahead, Monday and Tuesday will remain mostly cloudy, with a bit more sunshine by midweek. The weather will stay cool all week, with highs in the mid to upper 50s and lows in the mid to upper 30s. But watch out for a cold front approaching by the end of the week. It'll bring some warmer temperatures and more rain before things cool down again.
