The weekend is upon us, and it looks like we’re in for a decent rainfall on Saturday night! Most of Acadiana is under a marginal (1/4) risk for flooding, with heavy rain at times—especially on those roadways.

Rainfall could reach anywhere from a tenth of an inch up to almost 2" in some areas. While we don’t expect severe weather, some rumbles of thunder are possible.

As for Sunday, it’s looking mainly dry and cool, with some windy conditions. We’ll start the day in the upper 40s to low 50s, and highs will be slightly below average in the low 70s. That sounds perfect to me!
