We are still on track for the coldest temperatures of the season with Freeze Watches posted for the area for Tuesday and Wednesday nights. The cold front will sweep across the area this evening but we will stay well above freezing tonight as the coldest air won’t be arriving here until Tuesday evening. Most of Acadiana will see sub-freezing temperatures for several hours tomorrow night (with wind chills dropping to near 20) and for a solid 7-10 hours Wednesday night. We will see a nice warm-up later next week into the weekend with highs back into the 60s Friday and 70s this weekend. Rain chances will become slight this weekend with a better chance of showers and storms early to mid-next week. Interestingly enough, there may be more cold weather on the way in about 9-10 days with a more “interesting” winter storm pattern developing with the next cold snap so stay tuned!
