Fall feel in the mornings, Warm and sunny afternoons

LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) – Drier air has settled in Acadiana leading to beautiful weather to start the day. Sunshine will fill the sky as temperatures gradually warm through the day. High temperatures will be in the mid 80s with a nice breeze through the afternoon. This evening, temperatures will drop into the 70s making for pleasant conditions for any plans including Friday night football. Tonight, skies clear as temperatures settle in the 50s and 60s.

In the tropics, there are two systems we are currently tracking. The first is Tropical Storm Jerry which is battling against wind shear and dry air. Jerry looks to remain fairly weak as it is pulled northward into the open Atlantic.

The second is Subtropical Storm Karen. Karen has a brief window to turn fully tropical today before rapidly weakening over the northern Atlantic.

Locally, our weather remains quiet through the next week. Sunshine will fill the sky each day with only a few clouds. Temperatures in the mornings will be very pleasant in the 60s before warming to the upper 80s during the afternoon hours. By the middle of next week, humidity creeps back into the forecast with afternoon highs near 90 degrees.
