After everything we went through the last few weeks it's going to be so nice to have a quiet forecast for the next several days. We've got one last day with temperatures a little below normal before we start to see the inevitable climb into summer. Some of Sunday's clouds will linger into the first half of the day Monday, but gradually we'll see more and more clearing. Once the sun breaks through Monday we'll remain pretty sunny through the remainder of the week.

It was nice to not think about rain for a full 24 hours. As we head to the weekend, however, we've got to start thinking about more wet weather. Showers and storms will push in out of the Gulf and into the southern half of Acadiana Friday morning. Areas south of I-10 will see widely scattered showers through the first half of the day with a few thunderstorms in the mix. The showers are the result of an elongated low moving across the Gulf before traveling north up the mouth of the Pearl River.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Thursday it will archive its database of billion-dollar climate disasters, as the Trump administration reduces the resources available to the agency. The database has measured the direct costs of major weather disasters in the U.S. since 1980. It collects information from federal and state agencies and insurance companies to estimate the dollar impacts of individual events such as hurricanes or wildfires.
