Discussion
Today, a ridge of high pressure is slowly moving to the East. As this ridge moves out, a weak cold front will continue to approach the area. This cold front is not bearing much rain at all. It doesn't have an extreme temperature change associated with is. Tomorrow this front will move over the area and break down. As this front fizzles out, rain chances will go down as well. In the wake of this system another ridge of high pressure will dig in and skies will become partly cloudy.  
  
For the rest of the day
Expect plenty of sunshine with a few clouds possible, becoming mostly sunny to partly cloudy at times. Otherwise, we will see a chilly start throughout Central Louisiana, followed by pleasant conditions. Highs will only climb to near the 20 degree mark and no rain is expected. Overnight, expect gradually increasing cloud cover and rising rain chances as a weak cold front moves into the area. Overnight lows will drop to around 60.

There will be a gradual warming trend through the midweek.
Expect pleasant conditions, clear skies and warming temperatures through the week. Altogether, rain chances will be low with the peak rain chances on Wednesday.

The later part of the work week will bring with it, seasonably warm temperatures (climbing to ear 90) and continued low rain chances, with lows in the 60's and highs in the mid to upper 80's.
