Louisiana commuters are navigating through pockets of fog and mist this morning, with visibility reduced to under two miles at times near Baton Rouge. The air feels damp and heavy at 68 degrees, and headlights glow along I-10 and Airline Highway.
According to the National Weather Service in New Orleans/Baton Rouge, patchy fog lingers through early morning before skies gradually brighten. A slight 20 percent chance of showers remains possible before midmorning, but sunshine takes over by afternoon. Highs climb to around 81 degrees with light north winds shifting northeast.
Road conditions improve quickly once fog lifts, but drivers should slow down in low-lying areas and near waterways. Humidity remains high, so bridges and elevated roadways could stay slick briefly.
Tonight turns mostly clear with lows near 55 degrees. Saturday delivers classic spring vibes, sunny and warm again with highs near 81. Calm winds make it ideal for outdoor plans across Orleans and East Baton Rouge parishes.
Sunday starts with another round of patchy fog before 7 a.m., then transitions to mostly sunny skies and highs near 81. Monday reaches 82 degrees under full sun. This steady stretch of warmth signals March arriving with early-season spring energy.
No cold snap or freeze is expected, and no snow concerns exist along the Gulf Coast. Looking ahead, the 6–10 day outlook favors continued above-normal temperatures into midweek, with highs staying in the lower 80s and only isolated shower chances late next week.
