1 to 2 inches of rain with isolated higher amounts are possible along and north of the interstate 10/12 corridor. Most other areas could see a half to 1 inch of rain as well. The majority of this rainfall should fall starting this afternoon through early Sunday.

A roller coaster ride will be taken with temperatures and rain this week as highs will fall from the mid to upper 80s struggling to get to around 70 by Sunday with plenty of storms. The work week starts with sunny skies and highs in the mid 70s and cool lows as we start the week.

Forecast rainfall amounts Friday Night through Sunday. Look for widespread 1 to 3 inch amounts with isolated higher totals possible. This could result in additional rises on area waterways as well as flooding of poor drainage and flood prone areas. #Okwx #Arwx #Lawx #Txwx

Good morning,

Here are some of the key points for the weather this weekend. There is no severe weather threat, but there will be a flash flood threat on Saturday and Sunday. Rivers are expected to rise slightly but will not reach major flood stage.

ArkLaTex Update-

IMPORTANT DEBRIS INFO: All remaining debris must be put near the street ASAP. In working with the state, our goal is to have all debris removed within the next 10 days. This is for both Slidell and unincorporated St. Tammany.

All debris must be separated and not be bagged.

As we all continue to navigate this challenging time, please keep these useful tips in mind from the Northshore Home Builders Association!
