SUMMARY: Meteorologist Chase Ward discusses current weather patterns, noting scattered light showers moving south from Columbia. While some areas may briefly need an umbrella, the precipitation is expected to fade as dry air moves in from the north. Afternoon temperatures will rise into the mid-upper 80s, with a cold front expected to bring cooler, drier air tonight. A tropical disturbance in the Gulf has a 40% chance of developing, with the potential for increased rain late in the week. Overall, the weekend looks pleasant with sunshine and temperatures trending towards seasonable averages in the lower 80s.

An upper level low pressure ahead of a cold front has allowed for some patchy showers to develop this morning. Clouds will linger through the afternoon as we climb to the upper 80’s for daytime highs. Skies will clear overnight with some slightly cooler temperatures after the cold front passes. We will rebound back to the upper 80’s by Friday as a tropical disturbance enters the Gulf of Mexico. Still some uncertainty as far as its development is concerned, but it will aid in showers and thunderstorms across the gulf coast.

SUMMARY: In June, the Lafayette City Council approved $6.5 million in bonds for LFT Fiber to purchase the former Lemoine building at 214 Jefferson Street, currently its rented headquarters. LUS allocated $3.5 million from reserves for sewer and power line repairs due to stormwater infiltration causing losses and limiting new housing connections. The Council plans to rezone over 30 properties between Mudd Avenue and E. Simcoe Street for mixed commercial and residential use to promote development, despite challenges from a new short-term rental ban. Additionally, the 400 Block of Renaud Drive will shift from industrial to mixed-use zoning. ADA upgrades at Rosa Parks Center are delayed, doubling the timeline from three to six years.
