High pressure over the SE U.S. will push to the southwest ushering deep tropical moisture and a potential tropical system westward into Texas and Mexico over the next several days. This means rain chances will gradually decrease across Acadiana through Friday with typical July heat and humidity and surpressed rain chances Friday into the weekend.
In fact, the pattern looks rather sedate finally with respect to the tropics for the better part of a week (after the system in the Gulf moves inland by Friday) with no major suspect areas anticipated through the second week of July. We could see a more active tropical pattern redevelop for the 3rd week of this month…with the eventually that it will likely get very busy in the tropics from mid-August on. For now, enjoy the heat and humidity, but not too much, as heat indices will likely reach the 105-108 degree mark this weekend.
