After a start in the mid-70s, we'll see temperatures rising into the lower 90s by the afternoon under partly cloudy skies.

Like Thursday, a few scattered storms will be possible (40%).

A few thundershowers will remain possible Saturday as highs reach the mid-90s.

Thereafter, rain chances will be down and the heat will be up big time.

Much of next week will features highs in the upper 90s to lower 100s with rain chances limited to 5%.

Get ready for another June heatwave Acadiana!

As a result, the storm is expected to weaken and go could dissipate altogether.

Regardless, it is no threat to Acadiana.

Tropical depression four is right behind it.

Although it is expected to strengthen a little in the days ahead, it will take a track into the open Atlantic down the line.
