TONIGHT: Mild & fair
SATURDAY: Hot & quiet
DISCUSSION
Welcome the weekend!
Unfortunately, our second heat wave this summer will continue through the weekend.
A HEAT ADVISORY will be in effect across Acadiana Saturday.
Plan on highs to push the upper 90s with heat indices in the 106°-112° range.
We'll favor a mostly sunny sky with some clouds trying to mix in by the afternoon.
Not much a breeze to help the cause... only out of the southwest at 3-6mph.
The high heat will slowly start to ease Sunday, but even more so into next week.
Isolated rain chances will return Sunday and Monday (20-30%).
Thereafter, I do anticipate an uptick in rain chances as more of a general weakness in the atmosphere begins to develop.
Additionally, highs will finally return to near-normal (lower 90s if you have forgotten).
Have a good weekend and stay cool!
TROPICS
Relatively quiet out in the Atlantic basin with only the remnants of Cindy out near Bermuda.
That is not expected to do much in the days ahead, so major issues out in the tropics at this time.
