Breezy and cool weather will return to Acadiana into Friday with plenty of cool, lingering cloud cover likely through the weekend.
The same front that passed through Acadiana yesterday bringing cooler air Wednesday night moved back northward Thursday afternoon as temperatures once again neared 80°.
The same front is expected to push back through the region Thursday evening accompanied by scattered rain shower activity ahead, along and behind the front.
While rain chances will be on the high side...near 70-80% Thursday night, rain totals are expected to be light, generally 1/2" or less.
Temperatures will drop into the mid-40s by morning while wind chills push close to the upper 30s.
Lingering clouds, a few spotty showers, breezy and cool conditions are expected for our Friday with temperatures staying in the 40s most of the day, perhaps reaching the lower 50s for an afternoon high.
A few light sprinkles may be around for the COVID Heroes Parade in Lafayette Friday evening, with temperatures holding in the mid-upper 40s, accompanied by a little bit of a wind chill, so dress warmly and in layers!
