COURT TO PAUSE THE LAW. We’ll hopefully press pause on this rain in just a few hours. It is still a WDSU First Weather Warning Day. There’s still a lot of stuff on your radar, JIM, but hey, it’ll go away pretty soon. It’s starting to get drier, but it’s days like today that make me happy and excited to keep it right here in the weather bin. THE OLD EMERGENCY RAIN PONCHO. BECAUSE ALWAYS PREPARED. I’m serious. ALWAYS READY. If you have this in your backpack, have it in your purse. Yes, you will love life because you will get it back in your pocket as neatly as you did right there. Well, not all of us can do that. I actually haven’t even opened this book yet. This is more like the AI ​​saying everything. Oh, you should have just accepted the compliment. You just say, yes, I could do that. YES. OK. We are tracking some of the rain on the WDSU First Warning Radar. THE RAIN. Well, it’s getting brighter in some places. THIS AFTERNOON WE OBSERVE A GRADUAL DRYING TREND. And I think we should be done with most of the showers by dinner time. How much rain fell? I’m really glad you asked this question. OVER A CUSTOM IN HOUMA GEAUX TO MORGAN CITY. There was an inch and a half of rain there. FURTHER NORTH, precipitation totals will be closer to two-thirds of an inch to three-quarters of an inch. THAT’S WHAT WE HAVE IN KENNER, THE GREATER NEW ORLEANS NORTH COAST REGION. THEIR QUANTITIES ARE SLIGHTLY LIGHTER, ABOUT HALF AN INCH IN HAMMOND, HALF AN INCH IN BOGALUSA. It didn’t rain quite as much as some of the computer models might have led us to believe, but it was still a heavy shower and we’ll still be dealing with those showers for most of the afternoon. Now we see more cold air flowing in. THERE ARE 45 OF US IN BOGALUSA, 42 IN BATON ROUGE, 50 OFFICIALLY AT THE AIRPORT. NORTHWEST WINDS ARE NOW BRINGING COOLER AIR WINDS ABOUT 10 TO 12 MPH, LIKELY TO BE A LITTLE STRONGER FOR US LATER THIS AFTERNOON. Officially we have a wind warning in force for the south coast, valid until 6am. WE COULD SEE SOME WIND GUSTS OVER 25 MPH THERE. THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS NOW. LOUIS ARMSTRONG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, 50 DEGREES. With this northwest wind, the temperature is nine degrees and the dew point is 50 degrees. But those two points should sink in for us later this afternoon. AND TONIGHT. This is where all the rain is. AREA OF LOW PRESSURE NOW MOVING TO THE EAST. This low is causing a lot of bad weather across much of the Southeast. I have many friends in the Atlanta area. They shut everything down. NOT THAT THERE WAS THAT MUCH SNOW, BUT A LOT OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLICE THAT MAKE THE JOURNEY SO DANGEROUS. Well, this low has the trailing cold front that will bring us the colder air over the next 24 hours. BUT LET’S LOOK AT HOUR BY HOUR AND SHOW YOU THAT THE SHOWERS ARE AT 3:00 PM THIS AFTERNOON. Most of the heavy rain should be out of the picture. AND HERE WE ARE RIGHT AT DINNER TIME. WE WILL STAY CLOUDY BUT MOST OF THE IMPORTANT RAIN SHOULD RAIN OVERNIGHT. First thing in the morning the clouds stay put for us. ON THE NORTH COAST WE SHOULD BE MID-30S, ELSEWHERE MID TO UP-30S. Cloud cover overnight will keep you a little warmer tomorrow afternoon. Here we are right at lunchtime. The sky begins to look clear. HIGH TEMPERATURE. Well, it will be difficult to get out of the 40s in many places, but it shouldn’t be too breezy, so I think it will feel a lot warmer in the morning on Sunday first thing in the afternoon. Near freezing on the north coast. ELSEWHERE MID TO UPPER 30S AND SATURDAY EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF SUNDAY. We’ll start with mostly clear skies, then clouds will start to increase and around 3pm, 1 or 2 late afternoon and evening showers are possible. We’re starting to see some rain coming. But here we go. YOU WANT HEAVY RAIN? IT WILL HAPPEN FOR US FROM SUNDAY EVENING THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. This looks very similar to the computer models we looked at about 48 hours ago. There could be over an inch of rain in many circumstances this morning. SUNDAY EVENING, MONDAY MORNING AND THEN THERE’S COOL AIR, NOW IT’S EVEN MORE OF THEM FOR US. YOUR FORECAST is that the rain will gradually end this afternoon. I set the temperature to 40. WE REACHED HIGH TEMPERATURE EARLIER TODAY. In some places the temperatures have actually risen up to 60 degrees, but our temperatures are slowly dropping down to 40 degrees. THIS AFTERNOON. The cloudy skies will be a bit windy, but it will still be a factor in cooling the wind. I think in the upper 20s in a lot of places. CLOUDS WILL LOSE FOR US TOMORROW AFTERNOON. HIGH TEMPERATURE IN THE UPPER 40S. Reach 57 on Sunday, but then overnight Sunday into Monday morning. At the moment the chances of showers are very good. 70% CHANCE OF RAIN. MORE THAN 2.5 INCHES OF RAIN POSSIBLE. It will remain windy on Tuesday and Wednesday, but temperatures will rise back to near 60° by midweek. THAT’S YOU

An arrest warrant has been issued for Kyren Lacy, 24, of Thibodaux for allegedly driving recklessly past multiple cars, resulting in a fatal accident. According to police, Lacy left the scene of the accident and continued south on LA Highway 20 without stopping to render aid, call emergency services or report his involvement in the accident. According to state police, Lacey was driving south on Louisiana Highway 20 and entered the northbound lane in an attempt to pass other cars while in a marked no-passing zone. At the same time, a northbound car stopped to avoid colliding with the car. A Kia Cadenza, also traveling north, turned left to avoid the stopped car, but crossed the center line and collided head-on with a southbound Kia Sorento. The drivers of both cars and the passenger of the Sorento suffered moderate injuries and were taken to a hospital. The passenger in the Sorento, identified as Herman Hall, 78, Thibodaux, later died from his injuries. Lacy is wanted for involuntary manslaughter. Lacy is a fifth-year senior at LSU and a wide receiver for LSU football. He declared for the NFL draft two days after the crash.
