    Little warmer temperatures expected across Acadiana on Thursday with highs sitting in the low 80s by the afternoon after a slightly warmer start compared to Wednesday. We're still looking at plenty of sunshine and overall there's not much change in the weather pattern. A little more moisture will lead to a little more cloud cover but sunshine will still be the dominant feature. Lows will be on the warmer side as well with temperatures only dropping down to about 70 for the next few nights.

    A beautiful start to the day on Wednesday with fresh temperatures and a light breeze for us as we head to work. It will stay very pleasant for the rest of the day with plenty of sunshine and dry conditions. Winds will be out of the east through a majority of the day, but will start to become southerly overnight which will mean a warmer, muggier conditions on the way. A little more cloud cover is expected by the end of the week with clouds mostly taking over for the weekend.

    Ultimately it will be a pretty quiet day out there Tuesday, even with a front pushing across the area early in the morning. Clouds will hang around through the morning and into the early afternoon before finally breaking up and allowing the sunshine to return. A few light spotty showers will be possible but rain chances will stay around 10% so don't expect anything that will have a major impact on your day.

    After an absolutely stunning weekend in the books it's time to drag ourselves out of bed and get ready for another work week. The weather should cooperate with us for the most part with plenty of sunshine on deck and temperatures that will remain mostly mild. Highs will average the low 80s and upper 70s over the next several days, with nights getting down into the low 60s and upper 50s.

    We've made it to the weekend, well, almost made it to the weekend. A front made it's way through the area overnight and it won't do much to our overall pattern outside of a few subtle changes to the forecast. The most notable will be winds out of the north through the day, and at times they'll be fairly breezy around 10-15 mph. Temperatures will still be warm Friday afternoon but will drop overnight into the low 50s/upper 40s and a cooler day will arrive on Saturday.
