After a nice weekend, the pattern will be turning more active this week across Acadiana.

Southerly winds will yield to a mild night ahead.

Overnight lows only in the mid-upper 60s.

Clouds will be increasing across the area as well.

Partly to mostly cloudy skies heading into our Monday.

Breezy southerly winds at around 15-20 mph.

Sustain winds

You'll notice humidity on the uptick as well..

A few isolated showers could be possible by the afternoon, but better rain chances arriving Tuesday/Wednesday.

Essentially, impulses of upper-level energy, along with daytime heating and instability will lead to increased rain and storm chances for mid-week.

With enough energy available in the atmosphere, any storms that do develop could be on the strong to perhaps severe-side.

Strong winds and hail would be the primary concern, but an isolated tornado can not be ruled out.

Rain chances remaining non-zero heading into the end of the week.

A decent soaking of 1-2+" of rainfall could be possible before all is said and done.

Rain chances may start to taper off into the Easter weekend.

It'll be quite warm as highs push the mid-80s.

Models continue to hint at a cool down into the following week.

We'll see how the pattern evolves with time...

Have a great week!
