The heat felt today will stay well into tomorrow with highs in the 90s, but there is a chance for a quick cooldown thanks to some scattered showers entering into the central part of our area Wednesday afternoon.
The heat experienced today was no joke, and with highs in the 90s mixed with factors like humidity and the sun, it felt even hotter. The chance for scattered showers in southern Louisiana will persist through the evening, with lows in the 60s.
The same trend is expected for Wednesday, with experienced temperatures expected to range from high 90s and well into the 100s in some areas. The main difference is the chance for scattered storms Wednesday afternoon, which may help cool us down a little moving into the rest of the week. These storms are not expected to be severe and will move out of the area quickly. More scattered showers are expected for Thursday, with highs in the upper 80s
Looking towards the end of the week, isolated showers are expected for the western part of our area, with a chance for stronger storms over the weekend. These storms will allow for a little break from the heat with highs in the 80s, before warming back up at the start of next week.
