thunderstorms

The last week or so has been pretty dry across Louisiana, but that is going to change as consistent rain chances will be in the forecast for much of the upcoming week.

No matter if you're at work, at home or at play, you can't outrun the toll thunderstorms take on the body.

The rain where it falls will be fast and furious but only for a few minutes, then it will feel like a sauna.

The threat level for strong storms has been increased for Lafayette, Lake Charles and Baton Rouge today. Here's when the worst of the weather is most likely to move through.

Yesterday brought funnel clouds, high winds, frequent lightning, and heavy rain to the area. We could see more of the same today.

It could be a bumpy night weatherwise across most of the state as a strong storm system moves through the area late this evening.

We know it's going to rain and we know it's going to get colder, but when will all that happen? Here's our latest best guess.

Chances are almost everyone in the state will experience showers and thunderstorms today. Some of those storms could spawn life-threatening conditions.

Another severe weather threat is forecast for the area from Wednesday afternoon into the evening hours.

Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to push across the state beginning late this evening into early Thursday morning.

You might be awakened by the sound of thunder and the flash of lightning later tonight as heavy thunderstorms are expected to move across the area.
