Flood Watch in Effect for Acadiana

A Flood Watch is in effect until Friday evening for central and southern Acadiana as a stormy pattern starts this afternoon. Localized flash flooding is possible for areas north of I-10 but the risk is slightly lower. Wednesday is off to a mostly quiet start but rain chances will increase to 70% this afternoon as scattered showers and storms become likely. A few storms could produce heavy rains. Highs should reach the upper 80s followed by rain-cooled air late in the day.
