A tropical depression is now likely to form in the Caribbean or the southern Gulf of Mexico by this weekend.

Overnight low temperatures will fall into the 50s tonight in South Louisiana following a frontal passage this afternoon.

The feels like temperatures will again be almost unbearable again this afternoon.

The "feels-like" temperature will be in excess of 110 degrees in many places across Acadiana today.

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.
