Acadiana will see more high heat to finish out the week (it is July after all) but there should be the chance of a few scattered showers and storms Thursday.
After a very hot Saturday, a change in our typical summer pattern is in store for Acadiana Sunday with a better chance of showers and storms limiting some of the high heat.

Acadiana s high summer heat continued Monday with readings topping out in the mid-90s for the third consecutive day.
Tuesday should bring more of the same, but deeper tropical moisture and a little more in the way of instability should allow for a slightly better chance of scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms.

It will be a warm and muggy night ahead as temperatures drop into the middle and upper 70s under fair skies.
A full buck moon will be on display tonight and peak around 9:38 pm, so be sure to check that out if you get the chance!
Upper-level high pressure will be in control through the better part of the weekend.
As a result, overall rain coverage will be lower across the area, and instead it will be more about the heat and humidity.
High temperatures will settle into the middle 90s.
