Discussion
A ridge of High Pressure is anchored over our region and will continue to influence conditions in Central Louisiana through Friday. This pressure will begin to start breaking down tomorrow as it moves to the East. Until then, expect a mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies with low rain chances and seasonably warm temperatures. Another LPS will develop in the Central Plains and move into our area bringing with it, a good chance for rain for the weekend.

Expect mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies with continued warm. Highs will climb to the upper 80's and lower 90's (seasonably above average). Expect muggy conditions with a light to moderate wind out of the South and East. Overnight, skies will become fair to mostly clear, lows will drop into the 60's and conditions will become mild with some patchy fog developing throughout the early morning hours (Before Sunrise).
