Generally pleasant conditions and benign weather will dominate the forecast. The tropics are getting rather active and there could be another system to monitor by the end of next week.

Tonight & Tomorrow: Skies will remain mostly clear overnight and low temperatures will again dip into the mid 60s. Saturday will be comfortably warm with  high temperatures heading for the upper 80s with a lot of sunshine. You may notice a light, west breeze of 5-10mph.  

LSU Football: LSU Football will kickoff in Tiger Stadium against South Alabama at 6:30pm CST. The Storm Station forecast calls for a kickoff temperature of 80 degrees beneath mostly sunny skies. With much lower humidity, feels-like temperatures will be nearly 20 degrees cooler than during the UCLA game, plus the entire stadium will be shaded quickly as sunset approaches. See what the weather conditions mean for the Tigers chances in our Kickoff Weather Index.

Up Next: Sunday will bring at least one more comfortable morning with low temperatures in the upper 60s. A little moisture will sneak in during the afternoon hours allowing some cumulus clouds to develop as high temperatures go into the upper 80s. You still won’t notice much humidity through the weekend but that will change early next week. Though we don’t expect summertime steam, it will feel more sticky than recent days. However, rain will be hard to find through the remainder of the forecast with temperatures only gradually working back above average by the middle of next week. A weak, reinforcing front will push through on Wednesday and keep humidity from returning to that summery steaminess.
