Fields are very dry right now with not much rain over the past few months. Please do not burn right now.

Yes, we are still under a burn ban and will likely remain so until we receive substantial rainfall.

THIS is why we are under this burn ban.

Within minutes this fire was spreading through this field and heading for a field with hay bales in it.

Luckily, a very quick response from our firefighters limited the spread to the field of origin.

We had firefighters that had to leave birthday parties, family events, and other arrangements to respond to this call, without compensation. They do it because they are proud of what they do and want to help protect their community.

Please help them by not conducting any open burning as ordered by the Acadia Parish Police Jury.

Dense fog expected tomorrow morning also.

Thick fog and even smoke in some areas of Acadiana are creating hazardous driving conditions this morning. This is the visibility on Hwy 90 near Jeanerette. This is mostly likely a mix of cane smoke and fog. Please take extra precautions.

This is why many burn bans are still active. I know we are getting into bonfire weather, but please do not burn just yet...

🔥 Burn Ban Still in Effect – Acadia Parish 🔥

The parish-wide burn ban is STILL in place — it has NOT been lifted. We know it’s frustrating, but these rules are essential to keeping our community safe.

🚫 NO outdoor burning of trash, leaves, or debris
✅ BBQs are allowed only if done safely — never leave them unattended and make sure everything is fully extinguished
⚠️ Fire danger remains high. Following the burn ban protects our homes, land, and the firefighters who serve us

Not looking good for Acadiana and the Northern Lights. As hard as regular weather is to forecast, these solar storms and harder than that.

We should get another chance to see the lights again tonight.

From my view in Church Point. If your phone has night mode, use that and look to the North. Its even bright enough to see the pink hues with the naked eye.

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
