Tropical Storm Milton has formed in the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico and it is expected to intensify, then accelerate east-northeastward, and be near major hurricane strength as it heads toward the Florida Peninsula by Wednesday.

Hurricane Milton rapidly intensified from a tropical storm to a category 5 hurricane in 24 hours Monday with the storm heading for the West Coast of Florida by Wednesday.

Major Hurricane Milton is expected to be a large storm with widespread impacts expected from coast to coast over a large part of the Florida Peninsula Wednesday night through early Thursday morning.

Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS will be visible in Acadiana's evening skies through this week, but will be slowly dimming and fading as it travels farther away from the sun.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) upgraded the disturbance in the Northwest Caribbean to Potential Tropical Cyclone # 15 Friday afternoon.

Acadiana's quiet weather pattern will continue with seasonably cool nights giving way to sunny and warm afternoons.

The winter outlook for the nation issued by NOAA last week is looking to keep the Gulf South and Louisiana drier and warmer than normal...but that doesn't mean it won't get cold at times.

As the southeastern United States reels from the impact of two historic hurricanes, a large amount of disinformation about nonexistent weather manipulation technology is spreading across the internet, particularly on social media platforms.

The 2024 hurricane season was an impactful season that met high expectation, despite a relatively slow start. The most active part came in the latter half of the season.

Temperatures will be feeling more like December for Acadiana for the balance of the holiday weekend with the coldest temperatures, along with the possibility of a light freeze and/or frost, Friday night into Saturday morning.
