It will be hot and humid for the next few days with highs in the mid to upper 80s and lows in the low to mid 70s. We may hit 90°Thursday. Rain chances will be slim, but they will be a little higher Thursday as a cold front approaches Acadiana. That cold front may drop the humidity and temperatures some over the weekend. ~ Chief Meteorologist Heath Morton
