SEVERE THREAT MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT:

Chilly and dry tonight as lows drop into the mid-upper 40s.

Although we'll see widespread scattered showers during most of the day Monday, the severe threat won't maximize in Acadiana until the evening hours once we get into the warm sector.

Timing will be between 6-11pm across Acadiana

Damaging wind gusts will be the primary threat, but hail and even isolated tornadoes (especially eastern Acadiana) will be possible.

There is also going to be a heavy rain threat with this system, so isolated flash flooding could be possible in spots—especially into southeastern Louisiana.

Once the cold front moves out of the area after midnight, the severe threat will come to an end with a few lingering showers thru early Tuesday morning.

It'll be breezy, regardless, outside of any storm activity, and it will remain windy into Tuesday behind this system.
