Click here for Rob's Latest Update on This Weeks Storms
Our forecast continues to call for possible showers starting tonight. Temperatures will rise tomorrow as a warm front crosses through the area, and rain chances increasing through the day, topping off at 100% for Wednesday night. Storms are not expected to become severe, however, some isolated strong thunderstorms will be possible.
Rain will continue to be on and off throughout the week. Multiple rounds of storms will impact Acadiana, with total rainfall accumulation being estimated between 5-7 inches or higher in the heaviest areas throughout the next 7 days.
It should be noted that these totals are sometimes underestimated due to the nature of the moisture being pulled from the pacific sub-tropical jet, and some areas may actually see higher totals. We will have a better idea of this over the next few days.
Spectacular weather continues Tuesday with mild temperatures and plenty of sunshine.
After a chilly start to the day temperatures will push into the low 60s with a light breeze coming in from the north.
Temperatures will drop again tonight into the low 40s and clouds will start to push in along a warm front that will set up shop for Wednesday.
Clouds will thicken up through the day Wednesday and temperatures will be back in the upper 60s hovering around 70 by the end of the day.
A few light showers could creep into the area in the evening but most of the wet weather will hold off until the overnight hours.
Showers and a few thunderstorms will pick up early Thursday morning before the sun comes up, but most of them should be winding down by sunrise.
Clouds will stick around on Thursday and temperatures will drop through the day setting the stage for a chilly, grey Friday.
The overall pattern is looking a little more unsettled through the weekend and into next week.
