Summer heat grips Lafayette as temperatures soar
LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) – Summer heat and humidity are here to stay as temperatures jump quickly through Saturday. Highs reach near 90 degrees during the afternoon. Isolated storms will develop this afternoon to help cool temperatures down a bit for a lucky few.
Overnight, temperatures fall into the 70s with a few passing clouds. Sticky air will make it feel fairly uncomfortable Sunday morning. Sunday will see a mix of clouds and sun with pop-up storms developing late in the day. These will be slow-movers and could lead to ponding on the roads.
Next week, the weather pattern turns much stormier with passing disturbances each day. Some of these storms will produce heavy rain and flooding will be possible in flood-prone areas. Severe weather is currently not expected, but keep up with the weather this week in case things change. Outside of the stormy weather, temperatures will be a bit better as they hold in the 80s thanks to the extra cloud cover and rain chances.

High Surf Advisory for south shores
HONOLULU (KHON2) – A stable, light to moderate trade wind flow will continue through Sunday. The trades will remain down from the past few days as the pressure gradient south of broad North Pacific surface high pressure stays relaxed due to a front far north of Hawaii. Aside from areas of thin high clouds, an upper-level trough parked over the region will have little effect. Diffuse bands of moisture moving along the trade wind flow will focus modest rainfall along windward slopes, and a band passing through late tonight and Sunday will mainly affect Kauai and Oahu. Aside from afternoon showers on the Big Island and Kauai, leeward areas should remain rather dry. Subtle changes are expected Monday and Tuesday. The above mentioned upper-level trough will deepen west of the state and induce a surface trough several hundred miles northwest of Kauai. The current south southwest (200 degree) swell will bring large breaking surf to all south facing shores through the day Sunday, then gradually decline early next week. A High Surf Advisory is in effect for south facing shores through 6 PM HST Sunday. No other significant south swell sources expected through the remainder of next week.

Warmup on the way, with a few southern storms in the mix
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) – Happy Sunday, Utah! Summer vibes are settling in across Utah as high pressure builds in, continuing a warming trend that's set to carry us through early in the week. Daytime highs are on the rise, expect upper 80s to low 90s across most valleys, and close to 100° down in St. George this afternoon. We're still hanging onto just enough leftover moisture to spark a few isolated afternoon showers and storms, especially across southern Utah. These will be hit-or-miss and mostly short-lived, fading quickly once the sun goes down. Monday looks similar, though a weak disturbance could bring gusty outflow winds with any southern mountain storms. Looking ahead to midweek, moisture starts to creep back in thanks to a passing weather system. Storm chances pick up a bit across the higher terrain on Tuesday, and northern Utah could see a slight chance on Wednesday as that system brushes by. It's not looking like much for the valleys at this point, mainly cloudy cover and a slight chance of an isolated storm. By the end of the week, another disturbance could stir up more activity, but the details are still hazy. One thing's for sure… the heat is on, and we're heading into a stretch where fire weather could become a concern, especially in southwest Utah as winds ramp up throughout the week. Stay tuned.

Water Safety Tips as Local Lake Levels Rise
Belton, TX (FOX 44)– Recent rain has greatly contributed to our local lake levels–with Lake Waco and Lake Whitney at 100 percent capacity and Lake Belton around 96% full. Alex Klaypac is a park ranger at Stillhouse Lake. He says to be mindful of obstructions hidden beneath the surface and shares some water safety tips. 'We just want everybody to be as safe as possible when they're on the water and in our parks,' he says. As you pack your car full of your lake necessities, don't forget one very important item–A life jacket, even for the strongest of swimmers. 'Wear a lifejacket when you're on the boat, when you're swimming, and even on the shoreline. Just be safe,' Klaypac says. Finally, make sure you stay hydrated. 'Please bring and drink a ton of water–like, more than you think you need,' says Klaypac. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
