Rain weary residents of South Louisiana will get no break from the showers and storms this week. Here's why.

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.

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.
