More splash and dash showers and storms are in the forecast…and once again, expect a couple of inches of rain in a few hot spots, with isolated 3-5†amounts possible. Today’s graphic depicts where the doppler estimated the heaviest activity occurred through 5pm today with a stripe of 1-2 inches from New Iberia to Lafayette. Isolated areas of 3-4†were found just to the southeast of New Iberia and in and around the Youngsville/Broussard area to near St Martinville. Plenty of tropical moisture will stay with us through Thursday with a gradual decrease in instability and available moisture for Friday. There continues to be a lack of any surface focusing mechanism so it is impossible to say who will be lucky or unlucky with respect to heavy rainfall tomorrow and Thursday. Drier more stable air will move in for the weekend which will translate to more sunshine and hotter temperatures. Daytime highs this weekend into early next week will be pushing into the lower 90s. Unfortunately the humidity will stick around this weekend, but lower humidity could move in for mid-next week. So expect wet and soggy conditions in the near-term with summer heat moving in and staying with us this weekend (and probably for the next three months).
More Splashing and Dashing!
