Cold front to bring windy and cold conditions to Lafayette

LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) – After a warm and humid Saturday with temperatures in the 80s, humidity builds during the evening hours leading to fog development and a few shower chances. Dense fog will form closer to midnight with potential showers afterwards. A cold front sweeps through the area before sunrise Sunday leading to drier and windy conditions. Winds Sunday will gust over 30 mph at times. A Fire Weather Watch will be in place through 7 p.m. Sunday. DO NOT BURN anything outdoors as any fires that start will easily spread with the strong winds and will move erratically!

Monday will continue the dry and windy conditions, but temperatures will be much lower. In the morning, many areas will drop into the upper 30s with gusty winds around 15 mph. Make sure you are bundled up as highs only reach the mid 50s. A light freeze is possible for inland areas Tuesday morning with widespread frost for Acadiana. But, winds shift out of the south Tuesday afternoon leading to a dramatic warm up into the 60s.

For the remainder of the week, spring-like weather settles in with sun and clouds mixing, afternoons warm and windy with temperatures near 80, and a few showers possible, especially as we head into next weekend. Fog will be likely Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings as humidity builds back across the area.
