heat index

It's a good news/bad news scenario. When the rain threat goes down the temperature goes up.

Outside workers are cautioned to take extra care as temperatures will reach into the middle 90s for afternoon highs this week.

Afternoon temperatures will reach into the upper 90-degree range while the heat index will go beyond triple digits.

Clear comfortable nights and warm sunny days will highlight a spectacular week of weather following a frontal passage later today.

As June begins, we will see temperatures reach the mid- to upper-90s.

A better chance of rain and the hope of cooler temperatures are waiting for South Louisiana in next week's forecast.

From Shreveport to Monroe and Lake Charles to Lafayette heat indices are expected to top 100 degrees over the next few days.

Dangerous heat will effect how you work and live today especially during the hours of 11am until 8pm. Heat index values could reach as high as 115 degrees this afternoon.

The heat index could be at 105 degrees during the heat of the day today. The good news, rain chances will be increasing by later in the week.

Heat indices in the triple digits and very few afternoon showers or thunderstorms, same song different verse expected for the next several days.

For the fourth time in the past six weeks Acadiana's summer has turned down the heat and humidity with a passing cold front. How long will the more pleasant conditions last this time?

One more weekend before classes begin for most students in Acadiana. It will be a good weekend for Summer time activities provided you can find some shade and cold water.

It's going to be hot enough without the humidity but unless you travel in a plastic bubble, you're going to have to deal with the humidity too.

It's hot yeah, cher!

It was nice to get some rain on the roof this morning, unfortunately that will turn into an oppressive heat index this afternoon. What is the weather going to be like for the rest of your weekend and the July 4th holiday?
