More heat and higher humidity are in the forecast throughout the weekend into much of next week. Our upper ridge will stay dominant through mid-next week but should flatten later next week opening the door for a little more in the way of tropical moisture and eventually a few daytime showers. Dew points and overnight lows will rise into the low-mid 70s into next week while daytime highs should rise into the lower 90s. This means it will certainly feel like mid-summer with heat indices approaching the 100 degree mark as early as Sunday and continuing for much of next week. Farther down the road the models continue to suggest that the deep tropical moisture across Central America and the Northwestern Caribbean will be advancing into the Gulf of Mexico by next weekend with much higher rain chances a possibility for Acadiana into the following week. There could be some sort of tropical development in the Gulf around the June 7-10th time period but there are way too many variables to resolve that far out…will see. So enjoy the weekend and the dry weather while it lasts!
