An upper-level disturbance is lingering over the western Gulf, bringing a surge of tropical moisture to Louisiana. This has increased the chances of rain in Acadiana over the Labor Day weekend. There is a possibility of heavy downpours and a few strong storms. However, temperatures will be pleasant, ranging from the 70s to 80s.
Acadiana could receive between 2-7 inches of rain over the next seven days, which will help alleviate the recent dry conditions in the area.
There is a disturbance brewing in the Atlantic. The chance of formation is up to 40% over the next seven days as it moves west across the southern Caribbean. A tropical depression could form next week.
