Wish we had something exciting to share about a dramatic change in the forecast. Unfortunately, it’s a lot more of the same. But we can see the end of this pattern.
NOAA's Climate Prediction Center has highlighted the Caribbean, the Bay of Campeche and the western Gulf of Mexico as areas to watch over the next two weeks.
Summer standard takes hold plus a look at the tropics

The forecast is really settling down into it s typical summer pattern, and Lafayette may be getting its first 90 degree day on Wednesday.
This would tie for the third latest day we ve hit 90 degrees, putting us in line with both the 2009 and 1966 summers.
Those 90 degree temperatures will be accompanied by plenty of sunshine, which in turn may churn up the atmosphere a little and produce an isolated shower or two.
We ll continue with this type of forecast for the next couple of days with shower chances returning to the area on Sunday and remaining unsettled through next week.
