Acadiana will be in store for a couple of more nights of winter deep freezes before a gradual moderating trend kicks in this weekend.
A Hard Freeze Warning is in effect for most of Acadiana, from the I-10 parishes northward where temperatures by Friday morning will drop between 23-27° in most areas.
Add breezy north winds, and our wind chills Friday morning will be in the mid-teens!
Skies will clear Friday ushering in some much awaited sunshine that will help get the mercury into the lower-mid 40s for the afternoon.
But clear skies coupled with light winds will likely allow for another hard freeze Friday night into Saturday morning with lows closer to the low-mid 20s.
Expect more sunshine, perhaps mixed with some clouds Saturday, with temperatures climbing back into the relatively balmy low-mid 50s for the afternoon.
Clouds move in for Sunday, but temperatures are expected to climb further, thanks to southerly winds, and reach near 60° for an afternoon high.
A weak front will push through the area Sunday night and clear the region early Monday. This front should generate a 40% chance of showers, primarily near the pre-dawn hours Monday.
Although it will be slightly cooler Monday, a slow warming trend will follow next week with daytime highs climbing back well into the 60s to perhaps lower 70s by next Thursday, before the next weak front arrives.
