Heat Wave Intensifies This Week | Baton Rouge News

Scorching heat and humidity are here to stay, with afternoon storms bringing scattered showers and possible street flooding — but don’t worry, they’ll fade by evening. Temperatures will climb into the low to mid 90s, feeling like 105°, and the oppressive heat intensifies toward Thursday and Friday, pushing heat index levels into advisory territory. Next weekend? Upper 90s are likely. And while it’s still early, a tropical wave off Africa has a 40% chance of becoming a storm — keep an eye on the Atlantic as we head deeper into August.
