Heatwave, Drought, and Tropical Watch | Baton Rouge News

This weekend’s heatwave is setting records—with temps hitting the upper 90s and possible triple digits, all while staying bone-dry. Heat advisories are in place as the heat index could soar to 108. Don’t forget: hydrate or risk overheating. And with drought conditions worsening, a flash drought may strike by next week. Meanwhile, a tropical wave in the Atlantic could brew into a depression by weekend’s end—so stay cool, stay alert, and keep an eye on both the thermometer and the tropics.
