Much milder and muggier conditions can be expected tonight.

Lows will only drop into the mid-upper 60s.

Mostly, warm and windy conditions will follow into Acadiana's Monday.

Southeasterly winds will come at around 15-25 mph with gusts at times in excess of 35 mph.

Highs will push the upper 70s.

Scattered daytime thundershowers will be possible throughout the day, but the day as a whole will not be a washout.

We'll have to be on the lookout for individual discreet cells tomorrow afternoon and evening as a few of them could be on the strong to perhaps severe side.

Damaging winds would be the primary threat, although a couple isolated tornadoes can not be totally ruled out.

Showers and storms will quickly kick out of here by daybreak Tuesday morning.

In fact, skies will gradually try and turn mostly sunny by Tuesday afternoon.

That will set the stage for a pretty nice, spring-like pattern for the rest of the week.

Highs will be in the 70s with lows in the 40s/50s.

Have a great week!
