It won't be a total washout the entire time but the next few days do call for a substantial rain threat across South Louisiana.

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.

This afternoon outside temperatures could feel as warm as 110 degrees in the shade.

July could be rather dry in Louisiana unless that prediction of a tropical threat comes to fruition later this month.

That Saharan dust hasn't dried up Mother Nature's waterworks just yet. However, rain chances over the weekend are expected to be not quite as large.

Some parts of the state could see in excess of three inches of rainfall during today's rounds of storms.

A better than average chance of some stormy weather is dominating our forecast for the next several days.

Rain chances are well above normal for much of this workweek across Acadiana. Some severe storms could be possible.

Showers will pass through the area this morning but the late afternoon and evening should be spectacular across South Louisiana.
