Lower rain chances and hotter temperatures

LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) - Showers and storms brought some cooling relief to parts of Acadiana Saturday afternoon. The rain settles down and overnight, temperatures hold in the 70s with high humidity a few clouds.

Sunday begins with quiet weather and warm temperatures. By midday, temperatures will already be in the 90s with many areas reaching the mid 90s during the afternoon hours. Rain will develop during the afternoon, but most areas will miss out on any cooling relief as storms will be hard to come by.

In the tropics, a tropical wave in the Main Development Region of the Atlantic will have an opportunity to develop during the next week as it drifts westward into the Caribbean. We have plenty of time to monitor its progress in the days ahead. We will also watch a disturbance that enters the eastern Gulf late next week. Right now, tropical development is not expected, but we will watch it closely in case anything changes.

Locally, we will have some very hot weather to begin the week with afternoons in the mid 90s and feels-like temperatures around 105 degrees. A few storms will develop each afternoon, but most of the area will remain rain-free through midweek. A disturbance will pass south of the coastline late in the week bringing increased rain chances and, potentially, some heavy rain to the area.
