Lower rain chances and higher temperatures heading into next week

Posted

The rain has been making its rounds across Acadiana, with some areas experiencing heavy downpours. It looks like we'll carry this pattern into tomorrow, but rain chances will drop to about 20%.

As we head into the week, an upper-level ridge is settling in, which means we're looking at a shift towards more typical summer weather—think isolated to scattered showers and storms. Expected rainfall amounts will only reach about a quarter of an inch before Tuesday.

With this change, prepare for rising temperatures, creeping closer to the low 90s (again), and feels-like temps hitting the mid to upper 90s. I'm definitely not mentally prepared for the summer heat! Bring back the mid-70s!
