A strong cold front will be hovering over Acadiana today but the full benefits won't be felt until tomorrow. A cool to mild morning will be followed by another hot and humid afternoon. Near record highs are expected with temperatures near 90°. The cold front will finally push into the Gulf tonight leading to a big drop in temperatures. Overnight lows will reach the 40s to 50s. Colder and windy weather is in the forecast tomorrow with highs only reach around 71°.
A Fire Weather Watch is in effect for Wednesday as the combination of dry weather and strong winds could spread grass and wildfires rapidly.
