Much of South Louisiana could experience heavy downpours and strong to severe thunderstorms today. Here's the projected time when the worst of the weather will be moving through.

The best chances of rain will likely happen at the worst possible time for parents and students as the new school year begins across the region.

Meteorologist Rob Perillo is celebrating 34 years in the Lafayette television market, and today he is looking back on his first weathercast in Lafayette.

Today will be warm and breezy but should be quite bumpy with strong storms possible in the overnight hours.

For those in Acadiana who are fans of everything space related, be sure to set your watch as the ISS will be passing directly over Lafayette tonight.

Record heat but big changes on the way.

The space experts out there are saying that Acadiana will get a good view of the International Space Station as it passes over this evening.

Our good friend over at KATC, Chief Meteorologist Rob Perillo, fell victim to some funny photoshop editing after he showed his support for the Ragin Cajuns on social media.

The heavy rain won't fall all the time but it will continue to fall some of the time for the next few days.

Our media partners and friends from the KATC Weather Lab will soon have a new doppler radar system.

Rain chances will remain high through the weekend and most of next week across South Louisiana.

Five to seven inches of rain could fall over South Louisiana over the next several days.

The Federal Alliance for Safe Homes is listing 4 meteorologists as finalists in the National Weatherperson of the Year Award, and Rob Perillo made that list.

All eyes were in the sky for the once-in-a-lifetime moment.

Every Saints fan let out a sigh of relief at the end of their Week 13 matchup with Atlanta.

Keep your eyes on the sky this evening for a chance to view the International Space Station. According to our guy Rob Perillo over at KATC-TV3, you may also be able to see the SpaceX crew delivering some astronauts to the ISS.

Our media partners at KATC-TV3 are reporting that the disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico has been upgraded to a Hurricane by the National Hurricane Center. Hurricane Zeta is projected to make landfall late Wednesday.

When the legend himself Mr. Rob Perillo, Chief Meteorologist with our media parters at KATC-TV3 lets you know that he has good news, he means REALLY good news. That good news he is referring to is of school bus sized proportion and it just so happens to be hurdling past earth tomorrow morning.

In a weather blog at KATC.com, Perillo reported the predictions of Dr. Philip Klotzbach. Klotzbach is the hurricane forecaster for Colorado State University.

Tropical weather models are developing a low-pressure system in the Gulf of Mexico next week. That could be a cause for concern by next Wednesday or Thursday.
