Acadiana’s Earth Day will be a warm and humid one. The weather pattern has transitioned to more of a summer-like scenario with a few daytime showers or thundershowers possible every day for the rest of the week into the weekend. With little or no focusing mechanism for precipitation, activity should stay widely scattered in nature with some subtle day to day differences. The models are split on what will happen as we get closer to the weekend with current thinking that we will eventually see more destabilization aloft with upper disturbances and an encroaching surface boundary. For now we’ll just call it warm and humid with scattered showers and a few storms through early next week, but will lean on slightly higher rain chances for this Saturday and next Monday. All in all it does not look like any particular day will be a wash-out for Festival International, but there may be a few hours of wetness wedged in between all the fun. Check out the Earth Day government link…there’s lots of good information here. Although we have day Earth Days on the calendar since 1970, the latest political and social climate is finally giving this day the attention it deserves. Hopefully we will all continue to appreciate the good things are planet has offered us and that we can pass it on for generations to come.
