Expect slightly cooler temperatures and a little bit better chance of showers or thunderstorms in the afternoon as the weather forecast reverts to a more typical late June pattern

The official forecast from Dave Baker shows temperatures in the middle 90's by the weekend. That means weekend outdoor enthusiast will want to make sure they stay hydrated.

What does the week ahead hold as far as the weather is concerned? You can just put the next couple of days on repeat if you want.

Hopefully the rainfall totals today won't be nearly as heavy as those we received earlier in the week. The good news is that most of the rain should be out of Acadiana by the end of the day.

Showers and thunderstorms will rumble through the heart of Acadiana much of today and into the early evening hours. No severe weather is expected but there is a potential for some very heavy rainfall.

When was the last time the official temperature in Lafayette reached 90 degrees or higher? You might be surprised to see how long it's actually been.

Could things be looking up for the weekend? It's possible but we still have at least one more day of rain to deal with first.

The warm dry weather is about to be replaced by showers, thunderstorms, and the potential for some significant rainfall totals.

With so many activities happening around Acadiana this weekend Dave Baker really needed to come through with a great forecast. He did.

A chance of severe weather in the area highlights the beginning of the work week. Strong storms are possible in Acadiana later today and this evening.

Mostly cloudy skies with a rain threat late in the evening should not deter you from enjoying Patty in the Parc today.

It's a chilly morning, but will it stay this way through the big festival at Cajun Field tomorrow night?

It was a fun thought to think winter was over. After the rain we should see colder temps, but just how cold?

Tonight kicks off a big weekend of Mardi Gras parades in Acadiana. Will you need a jacket, an umbrella, sunscreen or all of the above?

Milder temperatures and a chance of showers for Monday. Mardi Gras parades next weekend might see more than beads falling from the sky.

I was watching Good Morning Acadiana yesterday morning, as I tend to do when I’m up that early, and something struck me as a little funny. I didn’t think much of it, I just thought maybe I wasn’t fully awake yet. Then this popped up on reddit…Did KATC Meteorologist Dave Baker wear 7 ties during Good Morning Acadiana? See for yourself!
