As expected a different day and a whole new series of disagreeing computer models! In the near term it will be cold tonight with temperatures dropping into the upper 30s by morning. Some patchy frost and patchy shallow ground fog will also be possible tomorrow morning, mainly in the northern parishes of Acadiana. Mostly sunny skies will allow the temperature to rebound to near 70 tomorrow but high clouds will invade and begin to thicken by late in the day. That means milder conditions for tomorrow night with mostly cloudy skies still expected Thursday. A few light quick moving showers are possible for Thursday but rain chances shouldn’t be too high. Meanwhile the first of a couple of cold fronts will arrive Friday allowing for a better chance of scattered showers possibly a few storms. This is where the forecast gets murky as another upper disturbance could energize the frontal boundary in the Gulf allowing for weak low pressure to develop Saturday. Right now it looks like 90% of this system will stay offshore but I have kept rain chances for Saturday just in case. The second front pushes in for Sunday with atmospheric profiles look quite winter-like. This I am going with much colder temperatures than the computer guidance for Sunday through Tuesday…and it could be colder. Today it looks dry after Saturday until mid-next week. Tomorrow probably a different solution with the jet-stream so close to us. The bottom line…it looks to get quite cold by late in the weekend into early next week…stay tuned!
