KATC StormTeam 3 Weather BLOG

Acadiana will see another cool and crisp night with temperatures dropping into the mid-upper 30s for morning while lots of sunshine will bring our temperatures into the mid 60s for Saturday afternoon.  We continue to expect clouds to increase Sunday with patchy light rain developing during the afternoon.  Heavier showers will be possible as we head into Sunday night as low pressure begins to get cranked up in the Gulf of Mexico.  Some thunder will be possible Sunday night, mainly across the coastal areas, but the heavy duty storms likely form well offshore.  Rain totals will probably run between 1/4 and 1/2 inch with and inch or more possible in isolated areas across the coastal parishes Sunday night.  Rains should diminish Monday morning with some lingering clouds and cooler/colder temperatures to follow Monday night.  Model forecasts have backed-off from there cold solutions of yesterday and from the day before with lows getting close to the low-mid 30s by Tuesday morning…and there probably won’t be any moisture left when the colder air moves in.  Tuesday through Thursday of next week look cool and dry with a warm-up expected for Friday into next weekend.
