Overnight temperatures will drop into the low 30s for most of Acadiana with northern parishes seeing some temperatures fall as low as the upper 20s potentially. This has prompted a freeze warning. Protect your pets and plants. Pipes shouldn't be a problem as it is not an extended hard freeze. Tomorrow morning will feel even colder. Thanks to strong northern winds the wind chill will bring our feels like temperatures into the 20s.

The 2024 hurricane season was an impactful season that met high expectation, despite a relatively slow start. The most active part came in the latter half of the season. The justification for the early season forecast included many factors, but two main focus factors for the predictions were the transition into La Nina along with higher than average sea surface temperatures, or SSTs. Hurricane season begins on June 1st and runs officially until November 30th.
