Another round of strong storms will move through Louisiana today. Similar to Tuesday afternoon, gusty winds, heavy downpours, and quick spin-up tornadoes will be possible.
Today & Tonight: Another line of strong storms forming just northwest of Louisiana early Wednesday morning will travel southeast throughout the morning hours. Ahead of the line of storms, conditions in the Capital City will be partly sunny and warm as temperatures that begin near 70° will warm quickly into the low 90s by lunchtime. Wednesday's round of storms will likely reach southern Louisiana earlier than yesterday, with isolated to scattered activity as early as 11am. Numerous storms will continue through the early afternoon hours today, with some storms possible of producing gusty, damaging winds and heavy downpours.
By Wednesday evening, isolated storms around the area will still be possible, but the main line of storms will be off to the east. Overnight lows will dip into the mid-70s with partly cloudy conditions and a few isolated storms possible before daybreak.
Up Next: As a weak front moves through the state Thursday a few isolated storms may arrive with it. Overall the day will be warm and humid with a mix of sun and clouds. By Friday, mainly sunny conditions will take over with little to no rain expected, this trend will persist through the weekend. With less rain, afternoon temperatures are forecasted to soar into the mid-90's; heat index values will possibly climb into the low-100's. There is reason to keep an eye on another front early next week which could also stir up some precipitation, but perhaps more noticeably drop humidity for a day or two. Though it is unlikely for the time of year, an early June dip in humidity would not be unprecedented.
The Tropics: For the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea and North Atlantic Ocean, all is quiet. No tropical development is expected over the next seven days.
