Scattered storms return to Acadiana with another low severe threat

Another round of scattered storms is expected for Acadiana this Tuesday. Compared to yesterday, much of the activity will be later in the afternoon as rain chances increase to 60%. Also, there is another low-end risk for severe weather as a couple of storms could produce damaging winds and/or torrential rains.

The heat and humidity are trending back above normal levels. Highs today will reach 95° with a heat index closer to 107° before rain-cooled air takes over late in the day. Unfortunately, we are looking at another heat wave starting on Thursday with heat index values going to or above 110° for many consecutive days.
