Unseasonably warm weather to continue

The Acadiana area spent the Christmas weekend in record-setting territory, breaking the record high on Sunday and tying it on Christmas Day, and it looks like that trend will continue through the upcoming week.
Highs are going to be in the low 80s, likely falling just shy of the record, but certainly warmer than the average for this time of year.
The average temperatures for this area in late December are 63 for the high and 44 for the low.
The temperatures will be getting into the 80s through the rest of the week, which would make this the warmest December on record.
Lows should range in the mid-60s with areas of fog possible.
Monday’s cloudy skies and spotty showers are expected to continue to linger through the rest of the week, with showers becoming more scattered today and eventually stormy Wednesday.
Some of Wednesday’s storms may become severe, although any severe weather should be isolated and short lived.
The rest of the week is going to remain very warm with highs continuously in the 80s along with scattered rain chances through into the new year.
A strong cold front is in the forecast over the weekend which could bring a significant severe threat into Acadiana late Saturday followed by much colder weather on Sunday.
