Changeable Pattern Continues

leave a comment

Most of us missed out on showers and storms today but an isolated storm pulsed briefly to severe levels across western wednesday-april-1-2009and northern portions of Acadiana with a few reports of marble size hail.  The storms quickly lost their upper level support mid-afternoon so the severe thunderstorm watch posted through 500pm was dropped early.  Drier cooler air is moving in but the sub-tropical jet-stream will continue to scream overhead keeping lots of high clouds in the area through Wednesday.  Temperatures tonight will drop into the lower 50s while highs tomorrow may be limited by the high cloud cover.  Nonetheless Wednesday will be pleasant with highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s thursday-april-2-2009tomorrow afternoon.  Another dynamic quick-moving system will develop late tomorrow in the Plains states and could bring the chance of showers and storms back to the area for Thursday morning…perhaps through midday.  Once again it looks like the greatest chance of storms and possibly severe weather will stay mostly to the north of Acadiana.  If storms do get cooking close to home we’ll have to keep an eye on the northern portions of Acadiana.  Nice weather will return for Friday into the weekend with another chance of some storms early Suunday.  A better looking storm system could give us healthier rain chances and perhaps a better risk of severe weather by next Wednesday.  Rob
