BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Saturday will be on the drier side compared to recent days, but rain chances will quickly rebound from Sunday into next week.

WEEKEND OUTLOOK

Temperatures will be near-normal through the weekend, with only isolated showers and thunderstorms on Saturday, but rain chances climb to 50% by Sunday.

RAINY PATTERN RETURNS

The culprit behind increasing rain chances will be a surge of moisture associated with a weak tropical wave moving toward the northern Gulf Coast.

RAIN AMOUNTS

The latest outlook from the Weather Prediction Center suggests totals of 1″ or less north of the interstates, with 1″-2″ south of the I-10/I-12 corridor. I suspect those may be a little low and think 1″-3″, on average, is more likely, with locally heavier totals almost a certainty.
