Sunday PM Forecast: Rain chances declining, but coming at a cost
Rain will be harder to find during the upcoming workweek. This in turn will allow temperatures to climb higher. Tonight & Tomorrow: The few showers and storms that were out and about on Sunday afternoon will gradually fizzle out with the loss of daytime heating. Expect a few clouds into Sunday night. It will be warm and humid with an overnight low near 78° in Baton Rouge. The area will fully be under the influence of an upper-level ridge of high pressure on Monday. This will crank up temperatures and reduce the number of rain-cooling showers. The latest Storm Station forecast calls for roughly 20% of the area to receive measurable rain on Monday – and that might even be a stretch.
