We’ve got some good news—there’s no longer any severe drought in our state! The highest level now sits at moderate drought, which has decreased to 25% from 26% last week.
While we may not see much rain in Acadiana over the next 7 to 10 days, keep your eyes on Sunday as we could see our best chance for rain with a 30-40% likelihood!
We have a couple of showers in the area associated with a cold front that moves in tonight.
The rain will clear out well before midnight. While we won't see a drastic temperature drop like earlier this week, expect seasonable overnight lows in the 30s and 40s across CENLA and Acadiana, with tomorrow's highs topping out in the low 60s.
As we head into the weekend, humidity will be on the rise, leading to increased rain chances on Sunday. Just in time for Christmas, an upper-level ridge arrives, keeping rain chances to a minimum! While Christmas Eve will be a cool one in the 50s with partly cloudy skies, we're expecting a dry night for Santa’s arrival.
Looking ahead, the CPC forecasts warmer-than-normal temperatures by 10-15° going into the new year. Typically, we see overnight lows in the low 40s and daytime highs in the low 60s.
