The drought monitor is back in focus after months of being sidelined. It’s been mostly dry in Acadiana lately, and the forecast doesn’t show any measurable rainfall in the next 7-10 days. Unfortunately, the drought is continuing to spread! Currently, around 30% of the state is under abnormally dry conditions, with a small portion (about 0.1%) facing moderate drought.
As for the temperatures, they remain consistent with warm overnight lows in the upper 60s to low 70s, and daytime highs soaring into the low to mid-90s. It’s starting to feel a bit repetitive, but stay cool and hydrated, everyone!
The tropics are still fairly quiet. The NHC has highlighted an area where a tropical wave is expected to emerge off the coast of West Africa. However, development of this system remains slow over the next several days.
