SUMMARY: A significant weather change is expected this weekend and next week, with weather alert days in effect. Cold air will arrive starting Sunday, with extreme cold settling in on Monday and lasting through Wednesday, posing a risk for pipe freezing, especially on the North Shore. While temperatures may dip into the 20s, the South Shore faces less risk. The potential for wintry precipitation remains uncertain, with forecasts indicating a possibility of snow or mixed precipitation. Monitoring will continue as the situation evolves with conflicting models from the U.S. and Europe, suggesting a low chance (10-30%) of winter weather.

Meteorologist Devon Lucie shows you how much warmer we’ll get over the next two days and when the next round of rain and possible thunderstorms will arrive, then walks us through the WDSU First Warning Weather ALERT Days coming next week showing you how confident we are in how cold it will be and how cold it will feel, then breaks down the possibility of wintry weather surrounding Tuesday walking you through when the precipitation could begin, when it could end, and what type of possible wintry weather is most likely right now, then shows you what types of precipitation are possible and what they are, what we know right now, and what’s still uncertain while finishing with your seven day forecast.

Saturday 10 PM Tropics Update: One far-off tropical wave to watch

SUMMARY: A tropical wave near Africa is emerging over the Atlantic but remains disorganized. The National Hurricane Center gives it a 60% chance to develop into a depression or tropical storm, possibly becoming Gabrielle. This system may move northward, staying over the open Atlantic and away from the Gulf, posing no immediate threat. Since the last named storm in late August, stable air, dry conditions, and increased wind shear have suppressed tropical activity in the Atlantic. The next storm names are Gabrielle, Humberto, and Imelda, with only the current wave showing potential for development at this time.

Meteorologist Alexandra Cranford tracks a lone disturbance with a chance of development on Saturday night, September 13, 2025.

SUMMARY: Dusty Guidry, a former consultant who pleaded guilty to accepting $800,000 in bribes, testified that Assistant District Attorney Gary Haynes sought involvement in a bribery scheme at the Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries.

Guidry revealed Haynes pressured him to include him in a similar diversion program scheme at Wildlife & Fisheries, receiving checks totaling $90,000. The scheme involved splitting bribes among Guidry, vendor Leonard Franques, and former department secretary Jack Montoucet, who has also been charged. The statewide program never launched.

SUMMARY: The Ouachita Parish Police Jury is conducting a series of community meetings to gather public input for their comprehensive plan guiding future growth. Police Jury members, including Larry Bratton from District D, emphasize the importance of reflecting residents’ voices in the master plan. Community members participated in interactive stations, allocating resources to priorities like infrastructure and downtown development, to help shape goals for the next 2, 5, and 20 years. Landscape architect Matt Pizatella and partners from Atlas support the effort. Bratton stresses that without proactive planning, the parish risks costly and less beneficial outcomes in the long term.
