Winter is heading our way for tomorrow night into the weekend. A few adjustments to yesterday’s forecast would include the timing of the hefty storms, their intensity, and temperatures behind this system. The storms will be most likely tomorrow afternoon ending during the early evening hours. We are still under the slight risk threat for storms producing damaging winds…and since the storms should be moving between 55-60mph it may not take much to produce wind damage. Temperatures behind the front should drop into the upper 30s to lower 40s with wind chills likely in the upper 20s by Friday morning. We’ll be hard-pressed to make it out of the 40s for a high on Friday with the possibility of freezing temperatures, or slightly above, for Saturday morning. As I mentioned yesterday, another upper disturbance will roll through the area late Saturday night into Sunday opening up the door for a secondary surge of colder air that will carry us into early next week. The next chance of precipitation will be Wednesday…and it should be just patchy rain…but I wouldn’t be surprised if there would be a non-accumulating wintry mix just north of Acadiana, depending on the precipitation onset time…nonetheless, it’s going to feel like winter through much of next week…stay warm!
