and last updated

Expect a mild and damp night ahead as lows only drop into the mid-upper 60s courtesy of southerly winds and cloud cover.

We'll certainly have a tropical "feel" across Acadiana tonight.

Mostly cloudy, mild and windy for Acadiana's Thursday with showers and thunderstorms becoming likely during the midday hours as a cold front moves in.

Turning cooler Thursday night/Friday morning as readings drop into the mid-upper 30s.

Wind chills will be in the upper 20s to lower 30s first thing Friday morning!

Fair to partly cloudy for our Friday with highs only in the 50s.

We'll see another morning in the 30s come Saturday morning.

We'll stay seasonably cool through most of the weekend, but will actually push the lower 70s come Sunday afternoon.

The pattern will turn milder and a bit more unsettled into next week.
