Dry conditions will prevail Wednesday and Thursday before humidity begins to creep back in over the weekend.

The National Weather Service has issued a FLOOD WATCH for southern Louisiana, including Baton Rouge as well as parishes east and south through Friday evening. Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop. About 3-6 inches of rain is expected in the watch area, though isolated higher amounts are possible.
