Summertime heat and humidity continues through the weekend, but a weather pattern change next week brings a cold front next by Tuesday. Higher rain chances and cooler temperatures are expected the first half of next week.
We’ll stay mostly clear tonight. Temperatures will fall back into the mid 70s. Expect another hot and humid day tomorrow with afternoon highs in the mid 90s. No changes are expected over the weekend. Any rain will be isolated in nature. Temperatures will stay in the mid 90s with overnight lows in the mid 70s.
Showers and storms return on Monday and by Tuesday a cold front will move into the area. We’ll still be in the 90s Monday, but expect ‘cooler’ 80s Tuesday and Wednesday. We’ll start drying out midweek with lower humidity and overnight lows falling back into the 60s.
Louisiana Governor John bel Edwards will travel to Plaquemines, Terrebonne, and St. Mary parishes to survey the impact of the storm on Monday (July 15).
Despite some levees overtopping, Terrebonne leaders said the flood protection system worked and new additions kept at-risk areas drier than many are used to.
When you’re already at your limit preparing for potentially dangerous weather to roll into your area, seeing prices on the goods you need to get you through the storm soaring above the amount you normally pay for them can be enough to put you over the edge.
The Louisiana Department of Health assisted other emergency officials and hospital staff to evacuate Iberia Medical Center shortly after 6 a.m. Sunday, July 14.
Arkansas State Police say one person was wounded and two people, including a Stone County sheriff’s deputy, died Thursday in an officer-involved shooting.
