Roads in Ascension Parish are still dealing with high water this morning, and that's the clearest reminder of just how much rain moved through here over the past two days. The heavy stuff is gone.
On the forecast side, today is genuinely better. Expect a cloudy morning, some patchy fog early, and conditions that improve as the day moves along.
Morning commute carries a couple of cautions. Dense fog is possible early, so give yourself extra time and extra following distance.
For what to wear: think light. It's eighty degrees with humidity doing its thing, so anything heavy will feel oppressive fast.
Here's what matters for the week ahead. The extended outlook has shifted noticeably compared to where we were two days ago.
One item worth keeping on your radar. Hurricane season officially begins June first.
