The thunderstorms this evening are more in clusters rather than a line. These showers are moving southeast, but if they stay on this formation, it may miss majority of Acadiana. I will be monitoring the radar over the next few hours.

The HRRR short term weather model has continued to show a line of showers and thunderstorms moving through the Acadiana area between 7 - 10PM tonight. There could be some strong thunderstorms, but they are expected to be isolated, so there is no way to tell exactly where thst will be right now.
Behind this line, will be a strong cold front. Tomorrow morning we are expecting a northwest wind 15-20 mph and may see some gust over 30 mph. Temperatures tomorrow morning are expected to start in the low 50s and reach a high in the low 60s.

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
