After our soaking Wednesday it looks like drier and mild weather…for the most part will finish off our 2009. Fog may become the immediate issue for tonight through tomorrow morning as light winds following the rainfall today may force the low cloud deck to settle down toward the ground. Foggy/cloudy conditions will likely be part of the start of our Thursday but we are cautiously optimistic that Acadiana may see a few intervals of sun tomorrow afternoon. Temperatures Thursday should top out in the mid-60s. A healthy cold front will race toward the area for our New Year’s Eve with the models robust enough aloft to possibly generate a few quick-moving showers or sprinkles right around the stroke of midnight give or take a few hours. Temperatures will drop back to about 10 degrees below normal for Friday and Saturday but there at least will be plenty of sunshine. As for Sunday into next week the models have changed their tune with respect to the colder air we thought we might see into next week. Instead of a good shot of arctic air it may just be a glancing blow at best. Atmospheric thermal profiles suggest a continuation of below normal temperatures along with some sun and clouds Sunday through Thursday, and relative low end precipitation chances…I don’t see any overt storm systems until around the 10th/11th of the month…with chilly air lurking nearby it will keep it rather interesting for the winter weather wishcasters!
