Sorry for not posting much today. I got a new phone and had trouble getting into Facebook.

Moderate rains continue in Acadiana and are expected to last into tomorrow morning. There will be some scattered showerstomorrow, but we are still expecting some of those to produce heavy rains in the area.

Going to be a wet Sunday in Acadiana. Get the ingredients for a cold weather meal and just stay home tomorrow.

Big ole yuck. Cold, we can handle. Cold and wet, not ideal. The forecast has not improved for Sunday — moderate to occasionally heavy rain showers growing likely. Heaviest looks to arrive mid day into the afternoon hours. Temperatures hovering in the upper 40s to low 50s.

We reached 5° according to my weather station at home.

Good night Church Point, LA. Riding off into the sunset

Drone video in Church Point. I'm hoping to get more once the winds die down a little.

Cajun Blizzard. White out conditions

New tornado watch issued includes all of Soithwest LA and portions of Western Acadiana. This includes Jeff Davis, Acadia, Evangeline and Allen Parishes. This watch is expected to expire at 2AM. We will have to wait until later in the evening to see if the area gets expanded into other Acadiana Parishes.

You can see the "lane" which showers are traveling in today. The band is tapping into moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and continues to bring showers into this portion of Acadiana. We are still expecting scattered showers for the rest of Acadiana during the day today and fading out into the late afternoon.

Rainbow over Church Point. Right over our freshly painted water tower.

This a radar loop from this afternoon/evening. You can see many gust fronts (thin green lines on radar) getting pushed out away from the strong thunderstorms. Then, gust fronts colliding with other gust fronts to create new thunderstorms. The severe thunderstorms also stalled and then had some back building.

Sent the drone up for a 360° view of the storms approaching Church Point. You can see the shelf cloud and the heavy rain bands.

I don't ever advise driving across flooded roadways, but there is only this 1 road to get out of Hopedale. Flooding across Highway 624 in Southeast LA.

Our Story

This page was started in August 2011, after I decided I would try and help out with some of the questions that are being asked to many of the TV meteorologist on social media. I do not have a degree in Atmospheric Science or Meteorology, but I did attend two semesters at ULM for that area of study. I am now an advanced trained storm spotter for the National Weather Service. When this page was first started, I was the only one posting updates. A few years ago, I decided to form a spotter group across Acadiana, and bring in more trained spotters to help run the page and to help assist the National Weather Service during severe weather events. My vision for this page is to be an additional source of weather information on a social media platform. We do often give advise, but you should always follow any information from the degreed meteorologist or National Weather Service first. I enjoy spending my time on this page and keeping my weather passion alive.

Thanks

Andy Thibodeaux
