I normally don't like to overshare on social media but I wanted to let you know why you won't see me on air for at least a couple of weeks. Prayers/good vibes appreciated in advance of my surgery on Friday. See you on the backside!

These two accounts have been spewing nonsense for a while. I thought most were aware but yesterday it became clear that a lot of people didn't know about them. Moral of the story - stick with people like Jacques that you know and don't believe everything you read on the Internet

Nobody has ever seen or met these “people” in person. They have never covered an @LSUwbkb game, press conference, practice, nothing. #LSU

CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil
An Oklahoma girls' basketball team appealed their victory after their coach discovered they didn't actually win the game, and now, they're being honored for their character. @SteveHartmanCBS is On the Road.

Had a great time shooting a new spot for Titan9 this morning with @Relief_Windows owner Brandon Hollie. Let’s just say… Brandon tried to take the wheel 😄

A Fire Weather Watch has been posted for much of our area on Saturday. Breezy conditions and low relative humidity values in the wake of a cool front will result in an enhanced risk of fires spreading. 🔴 Postpone outdoor burning 🔴 Dispose of cigarette butts properly 🔴 Make sure tow chains aren't dragging

Who's going to catch Zach Bryan in Tiger Stadium on Saturday? I'm not much of a country music fan, but this forecast is almost enough to bring me to the dark side. 😁

@jjrennie I believe the answer is 'yes' to both, but it's somewhat hard to believe. Both sets of graphics are difficult for the average user to interpret IMO.

A large explosion occurred at the Valero refinery in Port Arthur, TX on Monday. The plume was detected by the NWS Doppler radar in Lake Charles. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported. The video was submitted by a viewer of our sister station KPLC-TV in Lake Charles. More >> wafb.com/2026/03/24/she…

Tired of the recent cold snap? Same here. 🥶 The good news -- warmer weather is on the way, and it looks like it may stick around. The latest outlook from the Climate Prediction Center favors above-normal temperatures through the end of March across much of the Lower 48.
