Morning temperatures across Acadiana sit in the mid to upper 70s under partly cloudy skies. Humidity is high with dewpoints in the 70s, and a steady south wind is in place. No fog or rain to worry about early on.
24 Hour Forecast
Today will be hot and increasingly humid. Highs top out near 90°F, but it will feel warmer due to elevated dewpoints. Winds will blow from the south-southwest at 5–10 mph. Skies remain partly cloudy for most of the day, turning mostly sunny by late afternoon. A few isolated storms may develop after 3 PM, but rain coverage is expected to remain around 20% and would die down with sunset.
There are no Severe Weather Outlooks or Excessive Rainfall risks issued by the SPC or WPC at this time, we are just outside of it for most of Acadiana, but I wouldn't rule out a single strong thunderstorm or two if we get hot enough, or if cloud coverage is less than expected.
