After a night of heavy rainfall that moved through Southwest Louisiana, the skies are finally starting to calm down Thursday. While the rain has mostly cleared out, a few lingering showers may still make an appearance during the morning hours. It’s important to remain cautious, as some patches of fog are also starting to form, especially in areas that saw the heaviest downpours. Visibility could be reduced on the roadways, so drivers should take extra care when heading out.
By midday, the rain should quickly taper off, and while the clouds will begin to break, they won’t clear up completely. The northeasterly breeze will bring in cooler air, and temperatures are expected to peak in the low to mid 60s, significantly cooler than the temperatures we’ve seen recently. If you’re hoping for sunshine, you may have to wait, as the cloud cover will linger throughout much of the day. Skies might clear up slightly by the evening, but the overcast conditions are likely to stick around for a while.
Looking ahead to Friday, the weather will be even chillier. With the front that moved through still affecting the region, clouds will persist, keeping temperatures in the 50s for the day. While the clouds might keep morning temperatures from dropping too much, they will still remain colder than usual for this time of year. As the weekend approaches, you can expect similar cooler conditions, with highs staying below normal for Friday and Saturday. It’s a sharp reminder that winter is on its way, so be prepared to bundle up and enjoy the crisp air!
