Exciting news from this week's drought monitor! Major improvements are visible across our area compared to last week and the weeks prior.
Great news for Acadiana! Vermilion, Lafayette, Acadia, St. Martin, Southern St. Landry, and Northern Iberia Parishes are officially drought-free! The rest of Acadiana is under abnormally dry to moderate drought conditions.
As for the rest of Louisiana, only 16% is covered under an extreme drought. The recent rainfall has truly made a difference. Not too long ago, most areas were under burn bans. We have more rain to go, but it'll be served summer style with isolated to scattered showers and storms.
I know y'all feel that humidity outside! It’s definitely here to stay, with dew points lingering in the 70s for at least the next five days! This weekend is giving us all the summer vibes!
Feels-like temperatures climb into the 90s tomorrow afternoon and by Saturday afternoon, possibly near 100! Can you believe summer officially starts in just 25 days?
While the rain chances are pretty slim, they’re not completely out of the question—so showers and storms may pop up at any time.
Tonight is shaping up to be warm as well, with lows staying in the 70s and some patchy fog in spots.
Tomorrow, expect highs in the upper 80s. Stay cool and hydrated!
