About this listen

 Good morning. Louisiana. I'm Michael Nally. If you woke up to the sound of rain hammering your roof, you weren't dreaming. Nearly five inches fell overnight across parts of the state. Baton Rouge took the worst punch — streets turned to rivers, drains gave up. That heavy band has finally pushed east, but the sky's not done with us yet. Today brings patchy fog and scattered thunderstorms rolling through. Down in New Orleans and the southeast, storms fire up this morning through early afternoon — peaking around 1 P.M. Highs hit 80 degrees with light south winds. Up in Baton Rouge, same story — storms most active through mid-morning, then easing. You'll also reach 80 degrees. Northwest Louisiana near Shreveport catches a break. Just a slight chance of rain before 10 A.M., then partly sunny skies take over. You'll top out at 76 degrees. Tonight, fog returns statewide. Lows drop to the upper 60s — 68 in New Orleans, 67 in Baton Rouge, 63 in Shreveport. Monday stays muggy and unsettled. Scattered showers and storms develop, especially across northern parishes. Highs climb to 82 in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, 79 in Shreveport. Tuesday and Wednesday turn hot — record-challenging heat with highs in the mid 80s. But a cold front barrels through Wednesday night with strong storms and gusty winds. Gusts could hit 40 miles an hour. Behind that front. Thursday clears out beautifully. Highs in the mid to upper 60s, much lower humidity. Friday and Saturday look gorgeous — sunny skies, highs in the mid to upper 70s. One more thing. Clocks spring forward tonight. You lose an hour of sleep, but we're gaining daylight. Sunrise tomorrow at 7:24 A.M., sunset at 7:09 P.M. See you this afternoon.
