TONIGHT: Mild & somewhat breezy
THURSDAY: Warm & windy

DISCUSSION

Spring-like temperatures will continue across Acadiana for the foreseeable future.

Expect mild conditions overnight tonight as lows drop into the upper 50s to lower 60s.

Fog won't be much of an issue tonight due to increasing southerly winds.

Thursday will feature mostly cloudy skies and mild temperatures as highs push into the mid-70s.

There is the possibility we see a stray shower/sprinkle or two, but rain chances won't sit much higher than 10% as a front works through.

We won't see anything drastic behind this front, although we will notice a reduction in our humidity and a slight dip in our temperatures come Friday.

Chilly overnights and early mornings this weekend as lows settle into the 40s.

It is going to be a beautiful weekend with plenty of sunshine both Saturday and Sunday.

Highs will top out in the low-mid 70s.

Even warmer conditions will follow at least through the middle parts of next week.

Next chance of rain wouldn't arrive until the end of the month.

Have a great one, y'all
