It's going to be a great weekend to be in the yard or garden after the threat of rain passes on Friday night.

Clouds with showers and thunderstorms will move into South Louisiana today bringing cooler weather to the area by Tuesday.

Showers and storms should ramp up Monday afternoon and then again Tuesday night before cooler temperatures move into South Louisiana.

There will be some showers and storms in the area by Wednesday but as of now, the outlook does not call for severe storms.

Our media partners at KATC-TV3 are reporting that the Storm Prediction Center has issued a Tornado Watch through 9:00PM for the entire Acadiana area.

Severe weather watches and warnings will likely be issued today as a cold front fires up more stormy weather for South Louisiana.

Most of the heavy storms should be out of the way before the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve.

Gusty winds will usher in another round of storms for Acadiana later today and into the evening.

Stormy weather for the beginning of the weekend will usher in much colder temperatures by Sunday and Monday.

Storms should move through today leaving nice weather for Thanksgiving celebrations outside on Thursday.
