When will the sun come out? That’s the question I’ve been getting hammered with no matter where I go or who I talk to. The answer remains tomorrow! An upper trough will disrupt the active sub-tropical jet giving us drier conditions for a day or two. Unfortunately an upper low to the west will make its move by this weekend bringing another round of rain, perhaps more than an inch, for Saturday. So enjoy what sun we get tomorrow and Friday. By late Friday afternoon the clouds should return. Temperatures will stay cool into the weekend with colder conditions likely Sunday into early next week.
We may have a couple of light freezes early next week, but I do not see any major arctic air masses threatening us through the first week for February. If we do not see a change in the long range pattern over the next few days, I would be willing to bet that we won’t get any colder than the weather we saw in early December…that may just have been our winter!Â
Last night on the 10pm show I talked about S.A.D. or Seasonal Affective Disorder. Although this usually affects folks that live in more northern climates, I would think that the weather pattern over Acadiana over the last couple of weeks has gotten a lot of us slightly depressed.  I did some research in college in the early 80s on bio- and psycho responses to weather patterns, and at that time there was very little work done in this area…it’s come a long way since then.  Fortunately we know that sunshine is coming, and it’s been on backorder!
