Here is an article from The Daily Advertiser in Lafayette regarding heavy rains:

Continuing rains could set record for May
Jim Bradshaw

May 18, 2004

LAFAYETTE — If forecasts hold true, this could be the wettest May in Lafayette history. That forecast calls for more rain today and tomorrow, with the possibility of more flooding in spots where the hardest rains fall.

Nearly 18 inches of rain have been measured at the Lafayette Regional Airport since May 1, ranking this month second only to May 1907, when a similar weather pattern sent rainy day after rainy day into Acadiana. That May, 22.74 inches of rain were officially recorded in Lafayette.

According to the National Weather Service, there is a good chance that the record will fall.

Two- to three-inch rains were predicted across the area for Monday, and today’s forecast calls for more of the same.

According to a bulletin from the National Weather Service forecast office in Lake Charles, a weather system will settle “just south of the Louisiana coast” by this morning and will remain there for most of the day.

“This will act to enhance thunderstorm development once again across the area, especially during the afternoon hours,” according to the weather service. The additional rainfall “will likely lead to flooding in isolated locations once again.”

The system is expected to begin moving out of the area late Wednesday, reducing the chance of rainstorms, but not removing them completely from the forecast.

Today’s forecast calls for precipitation ending by about 7 p.m. There is a 20 percent chance of rain in the Thursday and Friday prediction, dropping to 10 percent for next weekend.

More than 20 inches of rain has fallen in some parts of Acadiana since the middle of last week, and, according to the weather service, the ground over the entire area is completely saturated. The possibility exists of three to five inches at any given location. The additional rainfall will run into already swollen streams, rivers, and ditches and across roadways.

Tomorrow we only have a 40% chance of rain and the chances decrease for the rest of the week so hopefully we'll get a chance to dry out. Anywhere from 14-20 inches of rain have fallen in our area so far this month!
