There is a significant rain threat for each day this week extending into the weekend.

The threat of flooding rains with strong storms will remain in the area through at least Friday.

It won't be a week-long washout but you can expect a significant threat of showers or thunderstorms almost every day this week.

Rainfall totals of one to three inches will be common over the next 24 to 36 hours in South Louisiana.

It looks as if the late afternoon and early evening hours will be Acadiana's most likely time to see strong storms today.

Hot, breezy, and humid conditions will help create a threat of strong to severe storms across South Louisiana by Tuesday.

There will be a few showers this morning but the bigger storms won't arrive until late Saturday and early Sunday.

The weekend won't be a total washout but it will get quite stormy across South Louisiana later tonight and early Saturday.

Small hail, high winds, and the possibility of tornadoes are all a part of Friday's weather forecast in Acadiana.
