ALEXANDRIA, La. (KALB) - SYNOPSIS: Showers and storms arrive on Thursday morning as our first significant fall cold front makes it’s way into central Louisiana! We can expect to see showers and storms continue into Thursday night, with some lingering showers into the first half of Friday as well. It looks like most areas will pick up less than one inch of rainfall, but some areas could see 1-2″. Severe storms are not expected with this system. We’ll cool down a bit for Friday, but a secondary surge of cooler, drier air arrives by Saturday. This will allow dew points to drop into the 30s and 40s for the upcoming weekend, which means relative humidity will be very low! We can also expect to see windy conditions developing as soon as Friday evening, with wind gusts of 20-25 mph likely through Saturday. This may increase the fire danger for the weekend. We can also expect to feel the coolest temperatures in months heading into Sunday morning and early next week, with lows dipping into the 40s!
