FIRST ALERT FORECAST: Wednesday, March 3 - Chilly start to the day, warmer weather returns By Steve Caparotta | March 3, 2021 at 4:58 AM CST - Updated March 4 at 4:39 AM BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - A chilly morning start gives way to a somewhat warmer afternoon compliments of returning sunshine. Highs will top out in the low 60s, while still below normal, it will feel much better than the 40s we were stuck in for most of the day on Tuesday. Thursday morning will deliver one more chilly start in the upper 30s to low 40s before temperatures moderate just a bit to end the week. Highs will climb to around 70° on Thursday under mainly sunny skies.
