Today: A few showers are possible through early afternoon. I will forecast a 30% chance for a light shower. I still expect temps to top out near 60, but we may end up a degree or 2 short.
Tuesday: A few clouds will be around for the morning. The mostly clear night will allow for temps to be in the mid 30s Tuesday warning. A frost advisory is in effect for Tuesday morning through 10a.m. A freeze warning is in effect for Lafayette eastward. The frost/freeze warnings have the potential to kill off newly budded vegetation. If you have flowers or any other vegetation susceptible to freezing temperatures, cover them up tonight. As the day moves forward, skies will clear out. This will allow for the temperature to soar into the low 70s. Winds will be 10-15mph with gusts near 30mph toward evening. Clouds will increase during the evening hours. A line of showers and thunderstorms will pass late Tuesday-Early Wednesday morning. Moderate CAPE (or instability) decent wind shear, moderate Helicity (spinning in the atmosphere), and dew points near 60 will allow for some severe storms to develop. New model runs are suggesting that severe storms will have enough "ingredients" to affect the area. I will have a better idea later this evening. At the moment, large hail, damaging winds, and an isolated weak tornado appear to be the main threats. Temps during the evening will hold near 60.
