An active spring severe weather season is developing for the nation’s mid-section over the next several days, while Acadiana will stay in the more stable and warmer side of the events. Nonetheless, we will see a few widely scattered showers through the weekend and into early next week, with activity slightly enhanced on Friday and then again on Monday. Highs will nudge into the low-mid 80s into the weekend and with humidity levels higher than normal, expect it to feel more like summer than spring.
This is a good time of year to be a storm chaser in the plains, not so good for folks that have to live in tornado alley. You can track the latest severe weather information through the Storm Prediction Center and you can check out some neat information and links on NOAA’s Severe Weather page.
