Blood moon lunar eclipse coming to a theatre near you, this Tuesday morning, before daybreak. The blood worm represents the third full moon of the year. If you miss this one, the next one will be on Aug. 27, 2026. Happy hunting! wafb.com

Good Tuesday morning. Here's a look at this morning's Blood Moon Eclipse. We have fog all across the Gulf coast, but I was able to pull this up on Sky9 over St. Augustine, Florida...One of the only cameras where it was barely visible. wafb.com

COLD FRONT ON THE WAY....This front will arrive late Wednesday and move through by early Thursday AM. This system will yield a good chance of showers/storms, with between a level one and level two risk of severe storms. An additional one to two inches possible.

ANOTHER LOUISIANA EARTHQUAKE....The U.S. Geological Survey reports a magnitude 4.0 earthquake hit just north of Coushatta, Louisiana, at 4:41 a.m. on Monday. The quake occurred at a shallow depth of about 3 miles. This is most likely an aftershock from last week's quake!

Are your allergies bothering you??? Today in Baton Rouge, tree pollen is VERY HIGH with high levels of mold and grass pollen! Maybe this Wednesday's cold front and rain will wash most of it away! wafb.com

Here's the updated timing of this Wednesday night's cold front and showers/storms. We should see wet weather start late Wednesday afternoon, moving through mainly before midnight Thursday. Baton Rouge is on the border of level one/two. Much better weather moves in Thursday.

Tracking a STRONG COLD FRONT that looks to move through our area Wednesday night. We're at a level two slight risk of severe weather, with damaging winds and isolated tornadoes the higher threats. We could see isolated strong tornadoes up to EF-2.

Good Thursday morning...the day after...Check out all the reports of thunderstorm wind damage across our viewing area. Mostly reports of downed trees, so watch out for that as you make your commute. We also saw a reported tornado touchdown in Rapides parish.

Great weather through the weekend, but the next STRONG COLD FRONT is on the way for Sunday night. Your weekend plans are good to geaux, since the wet weather should hold off until Sunday night. Forecast lows for St. Patty's Day morning will be in the mid 30s!!!
