WEATHER LAB.
HERE'S ERIC'S FORECAST.
>> TODAY WAS DEFINITELY A PERFECT DAY TO HEAD OUT TO THE POOL OR LAKE TO TRY AND COOL OFF AS THE HEAT WAS ON TEMPERATURES TOPPING OUT AROUND
90 TO 93 ACROSS ACADIANA MOST OF THE FEELING LIKE THE TRIPLE DIGITS AND WE'RE PRETTY MUCH GOING TO REPEAT THAT STORY FOR YOUR
SUNDAY. ALL THE WAY THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK'S A SUMMERTIME IS DEFINITELY YEAR AND IS HERE IN THE WE HAVE TO GET READY FOR THOSE DOG DAYS
OF SUMMER THAT WERE ALSO USED TO HERE IN SOUTH LOUISIANA.
TAKE A LOOK ACROSS THE COUNTRY THERE HAVE BEEN SOME SHOWERS MOVING THROUGH THE TENNESSEE VALLEY WHERE THEY ARE DEALING WITH NOW A TORNADO WATCH
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF ALABAMA A LITTLE SHORT WAVE ENERGY THAT'S MOVING THROUGH THAT AREA PRODUCING SOME STRONGER STORMS. WE ALSO HAVE SOME SCATTERED ACTIVITY BACK UP IN
THE NORTHEAST AREA AND ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE COUNTRY BACK TO THE GREAT PLAINS AND OVER INTO MONTANA AND DOWN INTO WYOMING, SOME
SEVERE WEATHER NOW THERE ARE THE MOVE OUT OF COLORADO AND PUSH INTO THE GREAT PLAINS.
BUT WE'RE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THIS HIGH PRESSURE CONTROL KEEPING US WHAT THAT SUNSHINE AND PLAYS HARDLY MUCH CLOUDS IN ACROSS THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON BUT THIS TYPICAL CARE TO MOST CLOUDS MOVING ACROSS THE REGION NOTHING REALLY SHOWING UP ON THE RADAR
AND THESE CLOUDS WILL BE IN THE FAYED AS WE PUSH INTO THE EVENING THIS AFTERNOON THOUGH IT WAS ALL ABOUT JUST HOW HOT IT FELT LIKE OUT THERE A HEAT
INDEX OF ONE OH 3 THIS AFTERNOON WAS THE HIGHEST WE GOT UP AROUND 03:00PM MOST AREAS GETTING CLOSE TO THE TRIPLE DIGITS DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND EVEN RIGHT NOW WE'RE STILL HANGING ONTO A HEAT INDEX OF 100 HERE IN LAFAYETTE AND OVER INTO RIVER.
MOST OTHER AREAS IN
THE MID UPPER 90'S GRADUALLY WILL BEGIN TO SEE THOSE FALL IS THE TEMPERATURES COOL OFF ONCE THE SUN GOES DOWN LATER THIS
EVENING JUST AFTER 08:00AM.
YOU CAN SEE NOT A WHOLE LOT GOING ON THIS EVENING, MAYBE SOME PASSING CLOUDS MOVE IN AND THAT'S HOW A WAKE UP TOMORROW MORNING. WE'LL CALL
IT PARTLY CLOUDY BEGIN THE DAY AND KEEP A FAIR AMOUNT OF CLOUDS WITH US DURING THE AFTERNOON, BUT SUNSHINE. WE'LL GET MIXED AND THAT COULD PRODUCE ONE OR 2 ISOLATED
SHOWERS BUT WILL ONLY GO ABOUT 10 MAYBE 20% CHANCE FOR THE RAIN SO AND THE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES FOR YOUR SUNDAY
SHOULD HAVE NO REAL ISSUES WITH THAT GOING INTO MONDAY NOTHING REALLY CHANGES AS THAT AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE AGAINST THE BILL RIGHT OVER THE VERY
SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA, KEEPING US HIGH AND DRY HERE IN ACADIANA COULD PRODUCE SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS BACK THROUGH ALABAMA
AND TO GEORGIA. BUT THAT'S WHERE THE RAIN'S GOING TO STAY AT LEAST FOR THE 1ST HALF OF THE UPCOMING WORKWEEK AS IT IS ALL ABOUT THE
TEMPERATURES FEEL LIKE TEMPERATURES GOING THROUGH THIS EVENING STILL HANGING ON TO THE 80'S BY TOMORROW MORNING AT 08:00AM
WE'RE ALREADY FEELING CLOSE TO 90 DEGREES HERE IN ACADIANA AND IN LAFAYETTE BY LUNCHTIME TOMORROW AFTERNOON. WE'LL SEE THOSE HEAT INDICES START TO MAKE THEIR WAY UP A LITTLE BIT
GETTING WITH THAT SUNSHINE TOPPING OUT I WOULD SAY AGAIN IN THE TRIPLE DIGITS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SO THERE YOU GO WE FINALLY GET THE GRAPHIC THE
START MOVING ONE OH ONE BY 03:00PM TOMORROW AFTERNOON HERE LAFAYETTE DOWN THE ABBEYVILLE 100 FOR JENNINGS AND NEW IBERIA FOR WHAT IT
WILL FEEL LIKE IN THAT SUNSHINE OF ALL THAT HUMIDITY AND ACROSS THE AIR AND THEN GOING INTO MONDAY WE PRETTY MUCH AS REPEAT. THE STORY
AGAIN IS TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT INDICES WILL BE THE THEME MOVING INTO THE UPCOMING WORKWEEK SO JUST GET READY FOR THOSE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER
BECAUSE THEY ARE HERE AND THEY'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE ANYTIME SOON SO VERY TYPICAL JUNE NIGHT, WARM AND MUGGY SLOWLY SEEING THOSE
TEMPERATURES FALL DOWN, ALTHOUGH 77 FOR THE LOW, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF A BREEZE OUT THOSE SOUTH AROUND 5 TO
10 THOSE WILL PICK UP AGAIN TOMORROW BRITNEY AND SOME RELIEF BUT STILL GOING TO ANOTHER HOT AND HUMID ONE
WE'LL GO 92, PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND THERE'S THAT JUST 10 TO 20% CHANCE FOR AN AFTERNOON PASSING SHOWER BUT MOST OF US
SUCH A DRY FOR OUR SUNDAY AND INTO THE 1ST HALF OF THE WEEK AGAIN HE FEELING LIKE THE TRIPLE DIGITS TEMPERATURES LOWER 90'S MAYBE A SLIGHTLY
BETTER CHANCE FOR RAIN WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY BUT THEN SEEING THE RAIN CHANCES DROP DOWN TO 10% FOR FRIDAY AND INTO NEXT WEEKEND.
SO AGAIN AND THE OUTDOOR PLANS THIS WEEK SHOULD BE OF NO REAL PROBLEMS, BUT IF YOU DO HAVE TO WORK OUTSIDE IN THIS HEAT
AND HUMIDITY MAKE SURE YOU'RE TAKING THIS PRECAUTION, STRICKEN PLENTY OF WATER WHERE IN THE SUNSCREEN HATS AND SUNGLA
