A significant rainfall event and a severe weather event are likely for Louisiana today. Here's the timing on when to expect the worst of the weather.

Two of Acadiana's top meteorologists have been indirectly sparring over a forecast involving cooler temps. But did one of them just get the last laugh?

By now you have probably heard the news, gumbo weather is on the way to Louisiana. Or so we thought. As much as we want to be excited and start getting our sweaters ready something tells us this might be too good to be true. Believe me, we desperately want this Louisiana summer to be far behind us but now all eyes are on Chief Meteorologist Rob Perillo after a Facebook post he made.

If anyone knows some great tips on how to stay cool in this heat, it's your local meteorologists.

Flood watches have been posted for much of Louisiana this morning as a storm system bringing a threat of prolonged heavy rain moves into the state.

Much of South Louisiana could experience heavy downpours and strong to severe thunderstorms today. Here's the projected time when the worst of the weather will be moving through.

The best chances of rain will likely happen at the worst possible time for parents and students as the new school year begins across the region.

Today will be warm and breezy but should be quite bumpy with strong storms possible in the overnight hours.

The local TV icon is being recognized for his years of service to the Acadiana and Gulf Coast regions.

For those in Acadiana who are fans of everything space related, be sure to set your watch as the ISS will be passing directly over Lafayette tonight.

Record heat but big changes on the way.

The space experts out there are saying that Acadiana will get a good view of the International Space Station as it passes over this evening.

The heavy rain won't fall all the time but it will continue to fall some of the time for the next few days.

Rain chances will remain high through the weekend and most of next week across South Louisiana.

Five to seven inches of rain could fall over South Louisiana over the next several days.

The Federal Alliance for Safe Homes is listing 4 meteorologists as finalists in the National Weatherperson of the Year Award, and Rob Perillo made that list.

All eyes were in the sky for the once-in-a-lifetime moment.

Every Saints fan let out a sigh of relief at the end of their Week 13 matchup with Atlanta.

Keep your eyes on the sky this evening for a chance to view the International Space Station. According to our guy Rob Perillo over at KATC-TV3, you may also be able to see the SpaceX crew delivering some astronauts to the ISS.

Our media partners at KATC-TV3 are reporting that the disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico has been upgraded to a Hurricane by the National Hurricane Center. Hurricane Zeta is projected to make landfall late Wednesday.
