JUNE 1, 2026 — Today marks the beginning of the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season and while it's expected to be a below normal season across the Basin, it's important to prepare for each and every season equally, as it only takes one storm, in one location, to make it a bad year for some.

The first week or two of June is looking to continue May's wet pattern for Acadiana with a good chance of daily, scattered, mainly afternoon and evening, showers and thunderstorms.

A good chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms remain in the forecast for Acadiana into the weekend, with rain chances easing, but not going away into next week.

While the chance of showers and thunderstorms will ease a little for Acadiana's Friday, it will likely peak again Saturday thanks to an approaching tropical wave.

A good chance of scattered tropical showers and thunderstorms are expected for Acadiana Saturday as a weak tropical wave moves in from the Gulf.

Rain chances will ease across Acadiana over the next few days allowing for our first real taste of summer-like heat and humidity this week.

Rain chances are expected to decrease for Acadiana over the next couple of days allowing for summer heat and humidity to increase commensurately.

Avoyelles Parish remained in a Flood Emergency Thursday afternoon after 25-28"of rain fell last night and today; conditions will be getting hotter area-wide, along with some storms sticking around.

Another round of scattered showers and thunderstorms remains in the forecast for Acadiana into Friday evening, with more active weather this weekend...it'll quiet down next week.

Drier days are ahead for Acadiana over the next week as high pressure takes charge, and will allow for hotter summer temperatures to take hold for a while.
