Changes are on the way as showers and storms have entered the forecast for late Saturday into early Sunday. The Storm Prediction Center has been quite busy over the last few days with better than 60 tornadoes in the plains reported yesterday with more certainly on the way for tonight and tomorrow. As we have been saying, by the time the upper low gets closer to us it will be weakening and moving to the northeast, but there will be a slight risk of severe weather here late Saturday, Saturday night and possibly through early Sunday morning. Hopefully we’ll see the rain but not the nasty storms. We’ll talk more about this issue tomorrow. In the near-term, more of the same is expected for tonight through tomorrow with lows in the mid-60s and highs in the low-mid 80s. A significant cool front is on the horizon and is currently projected to reach Acadiana by early Wednesday. Temperatures late next week into Easter weekend should be at least 10 degrees cooler with highs in the lower 70s and lows dipping into the low-mid 50s. Â
