Been a GREAT day with the wdsu big summer food drive to benefit 2ndHarvestGNOA! Also, phenomenal drop ins from the legendary chief meteorologist emeritus Margaret Orr and the one and only Ro Brown! Thank you for all the donations!

Forgot to add, it was a pleasure to meet DaSouljaOfFortune at Rouses Markets in Metairie for the wdsu big summer food drive for 2ndHarvestGNOA too!

Margaret Orr Rouses Markets wdsu So nice to finally meet Ma Meg, Devon Lucie & Ro Brown at Rouses Markets doing their part in helping to feed our less-fortunate. Gotta say, these are some of THEE nicest ppl I’ve ever met. We’ve got to do this again sometime

Devon Lucie took a bit of a field trip to the Jefferson Emergency Operations Center to tells us more about what we can expect pertaining to storm threats and hurricane warnings

A weather Impact Day for storms that have brought hail, torrential rain, and gusty winds to nearly all of Southeast Louisiana. Storms will wind down after sunset and fade completely tonight, but we'll do it all over again each day this Memorial Day weekend. wdsu

Strong, even a severe storms over Hammond that dropped hail up to the size of nickels from the reports I got. That triggered a wdsu First Warning Weather Impact Day. These were lake breeze initiated storms, and the same could come each day this Memorial Day weekend.

Tracking strong storms through this afternoon and into this evening. The strongest storms should remain north of New Orleans tonight. wdsu

Tracking storms expected to develop through the afternoon hours, and following a cluster of storms that should bring us our likeliest round of rain later this evening. wdsu

Severe Thunderstorm Warning for parts of our River Parishes until 1:30 pm for severe winds possibly upwards of 60 mph. The storm is slowly drifting north at only 10 mph. wdsu

Storms now firing up across much of Southeast Louisiana, including one right over the city. Storms will slowly drift north at about 10 mph and bring heavy downpours with possible gusty winds. wdsu

Flood concerns for New Orleans with Flash Flood Warnings until 5:30 pm and 6 pm, and a threat of severe storms for the Northshore as a Severe T-Storm Watch is in effect until 9 pm. wdsu

More Flash Flood Warnings for the Westbank until 7:15 pm and Severe T-Storm Warnings for northern portions of Tangipahoa Parish and Northwestern Washington Parish until 5 pm. ANOTHER complex of storms will move in later compounding the flood threat across the region. wdsu

Tracking a second wave of storms moving in this evening. This also poses a threat for borderline severe storms with possible wind gusts to 50 mph, but really poses another flood risk with all the rain that fell earlier today. wdsu

Some pretty lightning in Terrytown

A Flash Flood Warning has been issued for much of the New Orleans Metro until 4:15 pm. Radar estimates that 1"-2" of rain has already fallen and another 1"-2" is likely. Scattered storms are forecast to continue through the rest of the afternoon too. wdsu

Yall, DONT DRIVE! Get off the road! Carrollton underpass closed, 2ft of water, Tulane under, mid city under, there’s even standing water on I10. Most of my way to JP my tires were under. Devon Lucie

You know how it rolls!

HUXt model showing how big that M8.2 CME is thought to be - what a beast!

Could be a HUGE aurora display tonight! Too bad I live on the south side of the metro 😑

Enjoy this weekend’s weather, because Saharan dust will reduce the air quality across the Gulf Coast next Saturday. I’m thinking we could be out in the “orange” air quality alert stage which is “unhealthy for sensitive groups.” wdsu
