Even with temps in the low 80s and mostly clear skies, it's a beautiful calm day across the region. Winds are light and should stay that way a few more days. Some active weather possible late week.. we’ll be watching. Tropics? Quiet for now. Enjoy the low humidity! #LAwx

Final rain totals from 5/6–5/7: Some spots saw enough to trigger major flash flooding, esp. in Beauregard, Allen & Calcasieu. Data pulled from CPPJ gauges, PWS, & METARs. More rain possible tomorrow/weekend, but not expecting major flood issues. #LAwx

Light winds overnight, but we could see gusts over 20mph tomorrow ahead of a cold front for your Sat. A few strong to severe storms aren't off the table either. We’ll have a better handle on those details by tomorrow, so stay tuned and have a good night #lawx

Overnight strong storms possible (4/30–5/1):
Line moves in 12–3AM north, 2–5AM Acadiana/SWLA.
Most will just see rain & 40–50mph gusts, but IF it holds, pockets of 70+mph wind & hail possible. Tornado/flood risk low. Charge phones & multiple ways to get warnings tonight. #lawx

Hot & Muggy Is the Story...
Temps are sitting in the low to mid 80s across #southwestlouisiana and #acadiana this afternoon—and with those high dew points, it’s feeling every bit of it.
Cool weather is back on the way tho for the start of our work week!

The Front is Out.. Now What?
We’ve flipped from record snow & cold to a much milder start to Feb. Highs in the 70s this weekend, then pushing near 80° next week. Some clouds & spotty rain, but overall spring-like. That said, it's still Feb and patterns can flip fast. Stay tuned! #LAwx

Finally seeing some much-needed rain on radar. Models hint at more fronts bringing rain our way. Over the past few days, we’ve had 1-3" across most areas, with some bands seeing 4-7"+, and isolated spots over 9"! Expect this trend to continue into next week ahead of the next front. #lawx

Warm and somewhat pleasant for most, with fog likely tonight and tomorrow morning. Fog clears as winds pick up by Mon-Tues. By Wed, high pressure shifts east as a trough brings a front, but heavy rain looks unlikely—afternoon storms will be our main rain chances. #LAwx

At the end of the day, even the best meteorologist can't predict the exact outcome at this point. We know this storm could bring significant impacts to the east Gulf Coast (possibly us), so we need to keep a close eye on it. We will be sure to keep you advised.

Now for the hard part. With all the highs in place, the only path for this storm to really follow would be the trough that will be quickly moving out. It could either sneak past and exit through the Carolinas, or possibly get blocked by the ridge and re-curve back.

Models 1/2 days ago were showing mainly a SW Atlantic path pushing along the east coast, but with more models coming into the mix, it's showing that the high in the Atlantic will be stronger now, allowing for more of an east Gulf track before it possibly ends up near Florida.

We’ve been tracking that messy storm system in the Atlantic for a bit now, and it’s becoming more organized. The NHC now gives it a 70% chance of developing within the next 7 days. But once it forms, where will it go?

We now have 97L in the Atlantic, but that brings the question.. what can we see here? And how far will the impacts spread? Find that and more info below 👇

About on track for where we should be this time of year, but it's still been a rather hot and humid day with that ridge in the area. Heat advisories are up for Acadia Parish eastward for tomorrow, so be sure to stay hydrated. #acadiana #southwestlouisiana

A rather welcome sight: Cold front pushing in from the north will bring lows to the 50s in the northern states and the low 80s for a high in the southern region. The front will also act as a focus area for rain, potentially bringing some higher totals 👀
