We recorded no rainfall in the past week. 

Looking ahead. 

Lows in upper 70s and highs in the upper 90s. 
There’s a chance of rain each day with Monday and Tuesday possibly recording the most. Quite possibly add up to. 75 100s of an inch.

As the week goes on, our temperatures will start to be almost seasonally correct…
Next weekend we could see Lows in the upper 60s and highs in the upper 80s. 

We are at a severe level of drought and moderate to high fire danger and still under a burn ban in Webster Parish.
There’s a chance of a tropical system in gulf in the next 8 days. That means anywhere it could form.  See the screenshots below.
