More heat and humidity are in the forecast tomorrow with our usual 30% chance of scattered late afternoon showers and storms. Activity could pick-up a little for Thursday as an upper low will drift westward across the area. Scattered showers and storms will stay in the forecast into the weekend with highs continuing in the low-mid 90s. Rain chances may get quite healthy next week with much of Acadiana likely to see above normal rains to finish of July.Â
In the tropics, the area of disturbed weather of the East Coast was upgraded to a depression this morning and a tropical storm this afternoon. Tropical Storm Beryl should move to the north and possibly strengthen over the next few days while brushing the East Coast from the Outer Banks of North Carolina through the Delmarva Peninsula and Southern New England. The bulk of the weather with this system should stay mainly offshore. Elsewhere, a weak tropical wave spanninng from South Florida through the Yucatan and Northwestern Caribbean, may push into the Southwestern Gulf…no development expected here at this time.Â
