Unsettled Weather Pattern Means Storms Likely for Acadiana
Forecasters with the National Weather Service Office in Lake Charles have extended the flood warning for the Vermilion River at Lafayette at least through Friday. The reason for the extension is a very unsettled weather pattern that has ironically settled in over much of Louisiana.
That means that what you see today, you ll likely see again every day this week. By the way, what forecasters think you ll be seeing every day this week are widely scattered showers and thunderstorms. Some of the thunderstorms could produce heavy downpours over a short period of time. Those downpours could exacerbate waterways, such as the Vermillion River, which are already near their flood stage from last week s rainfall.
