LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) - Lower humidity has settled in across Acadiana that will lead to beautiful weather around the area through the rest of Saturday. Temperatures will climb to the upper 80s with sun-filled skies. Tonight, skies remain clear as temperatures settle in the mid 60s.
In the tropics, we are monitoring two disturbances. The first is Hurricane Humberto which underwent rapid intensification Friday and blew up into a major hurricane. As of Saturday morning, it is a high-end Category 4 hurricane and will likely continue strengthening through the day today. It is very likely it will reach Category 5 status before starting to weaken west of Bermuda and heads into the Atlantic.
We are also monitoring a disturbance near the Bahamas that will likely strengthen into Imelda by Sunday.
