BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) – Today looks to be another warm and humid day with highs in the 80s with only a 10% chance of showers/thunderstorms. This warm/humid pattern will continue through the end of the work week.

In the tropics, Category One Hurricane Rafael looks set to become a second cat, but there are still many uncertainties about a possible landfall location and timing.

Elsewhere in the tropics, another wave has a low chance of developing.

Our local rainfall will be close to an inch over the next seven days.

Eventually, we will see a drop in dew points and humidity once the front actually moves through the area.

Over the extended period, more rain chances on the way as we monitor the Gulf.
