The past few mornings have been quite foggy, and it looks like we can expect another foggy start tomorrow.
A Dense Fog Advisory is already in effect for Thursday morning.
Dense Fog Tips:
- Slow down
- Increase the distance between you and the driver ahead
- Turn on low beam headlights. High beams can reflect off the fog and reduce visibility even more.
- Plan for travel delays. Consider leaving earlier than usual to account for delays.

This Friday, we’ll see the approach of a weak frontal trough, bringing about a 40% chance of showers, and possibly a few thunderstorms. But don’t worry—severe weather isn’t expected.
As the front washes out, we’ll stay warm this weekend with highs around the lower 80s. While a lingering shower or two is possible on Saturday, expect partly to mostly cloudy skies overall.
Looking ahead to Tuesday, another frontal system is set to arrive, possibly increasing rain chances to 60%. There might be a low-end severe threat for Acadiana, but the risk for severe storms appears higher to our north and west.
By Wednesday, we’ll start to cool down, leading into Thanksgiving with highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s and lows dipping into the 40s. Heading into Black Friday, expect breezy north winds and temperatures in the upper 30s to lower 40s.
The coldest airmass begins to settle Thanksgiving weekend, with lows in the upper 30s. Luckily, we begin another warm up. Despite social media rumors, there's no signs of artic air in the next two weeks. We could see some significant cool-downs by the end of the first week of December.
