Taking a look at our radar currently... showers can be seen moving through our northern parishes. So what will happen tonight?
Tonight showers will continue with the potential to have some embedded thunderstorm activity and will continue through overnight. We are not expecting severe weather with these storms tonight. The storms will begin to clear out through the late morning hours. It's still a good idea to plan for a rainy/drizzly morning for our local bus riders/morning commuters.
While rainfall totals aren't expected to be a flooding concern tonight, we are expecting another two rain makers through the next 7 days. These will lead to some higher rainfall totals through the area. Heavy tropical moisture will be pulled into the area ahead of a cold front, setting us up for heavy rains next week. Exact totals can't be pinpointed yet, but the bottom line is that we will be seeing lots of rainfall throughout the week.
Tomorrow morning after our storms move out of the area, it will be a cloudy day with plenty of wind. Temperatures will drop throughout the day. We will start in the lower 60s and drop back down into the 40s through our overnight.
This pattern will continue throughout the next 7 days where we see rain on and off with roller coaster temperatures.

————————-
Temperatures, despite the clouds, will be a little warmer getting into the upper 60s by the late afternoon.
This slight warm up will be short lived with a cold front moving through late tonight/early tomorrow morning.
Showers and storms will start to pick up in the afternoon with scattered rain moving across areas north of Highway 190 during the evening commute.
Rainfall will then slide south through the night with heavy rain and some thunderstorms possible during the overnight hours, and clearing out of the area around dawn on Thursday.
Once the front passes temperatures will start to drop and Thursday looks like one of those days where we hit our high pretty early and will cool through the remainder of the day.
Clouds won't start to clear out until Friday and will quickly start to return to the area by the start of the weekend.
The weekend forecast is a little less clear, as another front is expected but this time looks like it will stall over Acadiana, ushering in a very unsettled stretch of weather.
Showers seem likely starting Sunday and continuing on and off for several days which could lead to some localized flooding, so that will be the thing to monitor over the next few days.
