Scattered showers and locally heavy thunderstorms dumped on Acadiana again this afternoon. Locally heavy tropical downpours accounted for more than an inch of rain officially in Lafayette with activity still fired-up as of 630pm. Activity will slowly diminish with the loss of daytime heating this evening. Tomorrow will bring more cloudiness along with another good scattering of showers and storms. The nearly stationary frontal boundary draped across our state will be slow to go through Friday and perhaps Saturday so there will be little in the way of major changes through then. Another frontal trough will approach by late Saturday, possibly enhancing our rain chances then, potentially bringing more stable air in later this weekend into early next week, but we are still going with some lingering rain chances Sunday and Monday. A secondary and decidedly drier front should usher in cooler and more comfortable conditions for Tuesday/Wednesday of next week. Highs mid-next week should drop into the mid-80s with lots of sun while overnight lows drop into the mid-60s…so something to look forward to! In the near term, keep that umbrella handy over the next few days.
Summer Showers and Humidity Persisting
