THURSDAY'S FORECAST ...Ground hog sees no winter for Iberville

Staff reports

If the forecast for the next five days is an indication, we won't have to worry about six more weeks of winter in Iberville Parish.

Above-average temperatures remain the norm for the next five days -- and with rain.

Highs today will reach the mid 70s, with overnight lows in the lower 60s. A 30 percent chance of rain is in the forecast.

The rain probability increases Friday to 50 percent, with a high near 76 and lows around 62.

A carbon copy of that forecast prevails for Saturday and Sunday, although slightly cooler temperatures are expected by the end of the weekend.
