Today & Tonight: As rain really struggles to come together over the area, today is going to trend drier than previously forecast.

Keep an eye out for a shower if you are in Assumption, St. Mary, St. James, southern Ascension, and southern Livingston Parishes. Skies will be mostly cloudy with temperatures maxing out in the mid-60s. Tonight, temperatures will fall into the mid-40s.

Up Next: Thursday will bring dry skies with temperatures in the mid-70s before one more pass of rain on Friday. Expect showers to build in by late morning and rain will be on and off through the afternoon and evening across the entire area. After some scattered showers on Friday, the rainfall totals for the week will come in between 1-2 inches. That rain will come in along a cold front and temperatures will be much cooler heading into the weekend. Friday night plans will be met with on and off showers and temperatures dropping into the 30s. Saturday morning will start with temperatures in the 30s as the rest of the rain clears. Saturday afternoon will be clear and cool with temperatures in the low 50s.
