Warm; Scattered Showers for Festival International

leave a comment

Our warm and humid weather will persist into the weekend with a few widely scattered showers or an afternoon thunderstorm possible through Thursday.  Rain chances will increase Friday into the weekend as disturbances aloft will help to destabilize the atmosphere but chance of getting wet should be a workable 30% for Friday and Saturday.  A vigorous front will likely engender a very good chance of thunderstorms by late Sunday or Sunday night.  Right now Festival International is looking pretty good but there will be a few showers to deal with through Saturday with hopefully the heavier storms holding off until after the festivities Sunday.  We could see a severe weather threat with the frontal system late Sunday…more on that in the days to come.  The Atchafalaya at Morgan City and Butte LaRose has crested near 7.5ft and 19.9ft respectively.  Boaters will need to continue to be very mindful of their wake for several more weeks.  Other than some local property erosion, no major issues are expected at this time.
