We are well on our way to much cooler conditions as we segue from July-like temperatures and humidity to January like numbers.  A strong upper low will get cut-off from the jet stream somewhere over the Arklatex keeping us in an anomalously cool pattern through the rest of the week.  Wrap around moisture in the form of mostly cloud cover will stay with us through Wednesday.  In the near term the moderate to heavy rains over the southeastern part of Acadiana will be slow to end tonight.  The severe weather threat mostly missed the area but at press time a tornado watch was in effect for Southeast Louisiana through southern Mississippi, Alabama and the western Florida panhandle.  Skies will be mostly cloudy early tomorrow with intervals of sunshine expected for tomorrow afternoon.  More clouds could move into the area again for tomorrow night and parts of Wednesday with more sunshine and eventually moderating temperatures anticipated for later in the week and into the weekend.  In the term, expect highs in the 60s over the next few days with lows dropping into the mid-upper 40s.
