DISCUSSION
Strong storms are still set to arrive in Acadiana this evening.
Timing is after 5pm through about 9pm.
So, I'd advise to stay indoors if you do not have to be out.
Storms will primarily bring heavy rainfall and gusty winds.
However, there is a possibility for a few rotating thunderstorms as well (tornadic).
That will be something we'll have to watch closely through the evening hours.
Make sure you have the KATC weather app downloaded and notifications turned on in the event warnings are issued.
Otherwise, a HIGH WIND WARNING remains in effect for the entire area.
Winds could gust as high as 40-50 mph at times outside of storms (gusts higher in/near storms).
Additionally, easily 1-3" of rainfall can be expected, but isolated higher amounts will certainly be possible.
As a result, brief flash flooding may occur in spots.
After the storms tonight, it'll be back to a winter chill for the remainder of the week.
Highs in the 50s with lows in the 30s and 40s.
We may even get close to freezing Thursday night into Friday morning.
Have a good one!
