May Soaker: Heavy storms already pushed rainfall above normal, and more storms this week will add to totals across the region. #Louisiana #rain #storms

We're in for wet weather this week, especially Tuesday through the Memorial Day weekend. We could easily get 2"+ of rain across SE LA & SW MS. Higher rain amounts are expected across north/central Louisiana and Texas. #Louisiana #Mississippi #rain #storms

The threat of showers and isolated thunderstorms continues this afternoon through early evening. A few storms may become strong and capable of producing gusty winds and brief heavy downpours.

Storms likely next week through Memorial Day. #LAwx #MSwx

Rain this Memorial Day weekend? The Climate Prediction Center has a moderate risk for heavy rain on Sunday, May 24. This isn't a guarantee of flooding, but an indication of rain that may impact your outdoor plans over the holiday weekend. #LAwx #MSwx

Outdoor plans this evening?! The weather looks to be nice and warm! #LSU #baseball #LiveAfterFive #lawx

Southeast Louisiana experienced another round of flash flooding on Monday. Many residents received 2"-4"+ of rain. #LAwx
