heatwave

It's kind of like wearing a fur coat during these scorching hot months.

The late afternoon and early evening hours will be prime time for cooling showers and thunderstorms across the region today.

It's still going to be hot but not as hot for today. Tomorrow will bring Acadiana's best chance of showers and storms in more than a week.

The feels like temperature across the region could feel as hot as 111 degrees later today.

Afternoon temperatures will reach into the upper 90-degree range while the heat index will go beyond triple digits.

There is an end to the heatwave in sight. However, it will come with the threat of strong storms and heavy rainfall.
