KATC StormTeam 3 Weather BLOG

We have moved into a more unsettled period as yet another frontal boundary coupled with upper disturbances will yield scattered showers and some thunderstorms across Acadiana through Tuesday evening.  Rain chances should be increasing toward tomorrow morning with daytime heating contributing to the instability producing some healthy thunderstorms, especially across Central Louisiana for Tuesday afternoon.  The Storm Prediction Center does have the northern and western portions of Acadiana hatched in for a slight risk of severe storms.  The main threat will be gusty winds and hail.  So we’ll keep an eye on the activity just in case.  Drier more stable air will advance into the region for Wednesday with rain chances going down for mid-week.  Another frontal trough will approach late in the week with perhaps a healthy round of storms developing for Friday night.  Hopefully the weekend will bring slight drier and slightly cooler air with mostly sunny skies.
