Although there will be some dry time today, it will be raining more often than not. While the first half of the day will feature mainly showers, we could see pockets of heavy rain in the PM hours.

Today & Tonight: Friday is shaping up to be near a washout across our 13 parishes and 3 counties, so keep the umbrella handy—you’re going to need it. We are looking at a 100% coverage of rain across the area, and while you might see a few brief breaks, they won't last long before the next round moves in. The real concern for heavy rain and localized flooding kicks in during the afternoon and evening hours, lasting through midnight. Most of us will see between 1 and 3 inches of accumulation, though those totals could climb higher in areas where storms "train" over the same spot. If you have outdoor plans for a festival or a game, you’ll definitely want to check for updates, as cancellations are looking very likely. Between the thick cloud cover and the constant rainfall, temperatures will struggle to move, peaking only in the mid to upper 60s. Things finally start to dry out after midnight, leaving just a few stray showers for early Saturday morning as lows dip into the mid-50s.
