We’re entering a period of where we are going to see several rounds of shower and thunderstorm activity. Active weather will move in tonight with the jet stream becoming quite favorable for showers and storms. A series of nearly impossible to time disturbances in the sub-tropical jet will fuel the storms through tomorrow with more favorable dynamics for stronger storms developing tomorrow. We remain hatched in for a slight risk of severe storms tomorrow but the shear profiles aloft do not appear to be too impressive on a large scale. However, there could be a few storms that get out of hand especially tomorrow across Central Louisiana. Damaging winds with an increasing hail factor will be possible tomorrow so don’t be surprised if we are under some sort of weather watch area at some point tomorrow. The entire weather system won’t clear the area until midday Friday so the risk of showers and storms will linger into at least early Friday. It will start to feel quite soupy tomorrow with high humidity and temperatures likely to reach into the mid-70s. This weekend is still looking favorable, but some scattered shower activity may be possible for Sunday into Monday. Highs this weekend will be near 70 Saturday, mid 70s Sunday and possibly the upper 70s Monday. But a strong cold front should bring another chance of strong storms very late Monday night into early Tuesday with the a brief shot of arctic air likely mid-week. We could see frosty conditions for next Wednesday and perhaps Thursday mornings so don’t plant the pansies yet!
Unsettled and Stormy
