Drier days ahead as lower humidity settles into Acadiana

LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) – After a hot Saturday with a few coastal storms, humid air returns for one more night ahead of a cold front. Temperatures overnight will settle in the 70s with partly cloudy skies and an isolated rain chance. Sunday will see one or two showers possible before midday ahead of the front which will bring drier air and sunshine for the afternoon. A nice northerly breeze will usher in lower humidity as temperatures reach the upper 80s.

The tropics are looking much quieter as the one tropical wave we’ve been following has all but disappeared thanks to plentiful dry air. Development chances have decreased down to a low chance, but more than likely, this wave will fade away and not do much. Beyond that, the tropics look to remain quiet over the next week.

Locally, we will see pleasant mornings in the 60s for the beginning of the week with afternoons seeing sunshine and highs right about 90 each afternoon through midweek. Towards the end of the week, a weak area of low pressure will surge moisture back towards the area, especially coastal areas. Humidity will rise and a few showers will be possible. Otherwise, temperatures will be toasty in the lower 90s.
