KATC StormTeam 3 Weather BLOG

Our spring-like pattern will continue over the next couple of days with breezy and warm conditions.  We’ll see a sun and cloud mix tomorrow and Friday with more cloudiness during the morning hours and longer intervals of sun during the afternoon hours.  Temperatures will rise into the upper 70s tomorrow afternoon and upper 70s to near 80 on Friday as gusty south winds should abate slightly Friday giving us a better opportunity for a nice warm-up.  With that being said our thickness of early moring cloudiness will dictate how warm we get based on the time it takes some of that moisture to burn-off. There is a signal for lower and thicker cloud cover for Friday morning; so this could be somewhat of a wildcard.  And with better low level moisture in the area Friday we could see that moisture manifest into a few pop-up showers Friday afternoon…but rain chances should stay at or below 20%.   A cool front will arrive early Saturday morning with the possibility of scattered showers very early Saturday morning and perhaps a few quick light showers Saturday afternoon as cooler air begins to pour into the region.  The juiciest dynamics with this front will either bypass to the north or get organized east of Acadiana so I’m not relly sold on anything more than scattered shower activity…but a few isolated storms could develop over toward Baton Rouge or New Orleans during the day Saturday.  For most of Acadiana we’ll see mostly cloudy skies Saturday and then it becomes breezy and chilly for Saturday night into Sunday.  Temperatures will be hard-pressed to reach 60 Sunday afternoon in spite of lots of sunshine returning to the area.   We could see lows dipping down into the upper 30s Monday morning but we should warm back to seasonal levels by Tuesday.
