Mid-Week Changes

leave a comment

Our gorgeous weather pattern will briefly change mid-week with another good looking weekend anticipated.  A vigorous upper low will roll out of the Rockies this week inducing a Gulf return flow beginning late tomorrow.  Deeper moisture will move into the area Wednesday producing more clouds and the slight chance of a few showers by late in the day.  Healthy upper level dynamics will develop Wednesday night into early Thursday allowing fopr scattered showers and some storms.  The best dynamics for storms, and perhaps some strong/intense activity, should stay north of Acadiana.  The quality of moisture and lower level instability are in question during the late Wednesday through Thursday time-frame, but there should at least be a pretty healthy scatterring of showers and storms in the vicinity of a cool front that will arrive early Thursday.  In fact, the best upper dynamics may follow the front so it may just be showers with embedded thunder possible.  This will be the best chance of precipitation perhaps for the rest of the month so hopefully we’ll see some soaking showers and storms…we do need the rain.  Drier air will infiltrate Acadiana by Thursday afternoon/evening with fair to partly cloudy skies anticipated for Friday.  The weekend into early next week is looking quite favorable once again with lots of sunshine and cool fall temperatures expected again!
