BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) – We are tracking our next cold front, and it can’t get here soon enough. Temperatures continue to be too hot during the afternoon hours with highs in the upper 80°s to low 90°s across the area this weekend. Thankfully this front late Tuesday will help provide a ten to fifteen degree temperature drop.
We’ll see highs jump from the upper 80°s Tuesday to the mid 70°s Wednesday and Thursday.
The front will also help with our current air quality issues. Ozone Action Days have been declared by DEQ for the remainder of Sunday and Monday. The approaching front will help produce breezy enough winds to help with ozone levels reduction on Tuesday. This means people with breathing sensitivities should limit the time they spend outside.
The cooler air won’t last very long. Temperatures will return above normal by the weekend. Thankfully it looks like we may be able to keep the 90°s away with our next warming trend.
