Well, it has been another nice and mild day across Acadiana.

Clouds will be on the increase overnight, and with a southerly breeze in place, temperatures will only bottom out in the 50s.

We should see enough of a breeze to keep fog at bay.

A mostly cloudy day will be in store for Acadiana's Thursday.

Mild conditions as highs push the low-mid 70s.

A couple light sprinkles could be possible throughout the day with rain chances at around 20%.

Partly-mostly cloudy skies heading into Friday as highs climb into the mid-70s.

Once again, isolated rain chances will remain at 20%.

The pattern will then look to turn a little more unsettled heading into the weekend as rain chances become more scattered (40-60%).

I would plan to be prepared to dodge a few showers and storms for the parades, especially on Sunday.

Temperatures will remain seasonably warm in the mid-70s all weekend long.

We could still see a little lingering moisture early Monday (Lundi Gras), but overall, we will be transitioning to a drier and cooler pattern.

Temperatures Monday afternoon will only be in the 50s.

Most of us will then head for 30s/40s Monday night into Tuesday morning.

Hopefully, you did not pack up those winter jackets and coats quite yet!.

Mardi Gras Day looks to be mostly sunny with the exception of some high clouds mixing in at times.

Highs will push the upper 50s.

Have a great one!
