SUMMARY: The weather forecast for Monday, May 5th, starts cool with temperatures in the upper 40s to low 50s. As the day progresses, temperatures will rise into the mid-70s, with clear skies this morning and increasing clouds later in the day. A low-pressure system from the southwest will bring rain and thunderstorms to northern Texas, which will move eastward, affecting the ArkLaTex region by Tuesday. Severe weather, including high winds, hail, and the potential for flash flooding, is expected. A moderate risk for flooding continues into Wednesday, with temperatures in the mid-70s tomorrow and clearing up by the weekend.

Skies will be mostly clear throughout the day as a few clouds start moving into place. They will increase late tonight as a plume of moisture rolls in at the surfaces and further aloft. Widespread rain and t-storms are expected for much of tomorrow. Storms will be capable of producing high wind gusts and small hail. The main concern will be the threat for flash flooding as storms could continue through the late evening into early Wednesday. An unsettled like pattern will continue through out the remainder of the week. By the weekend, we will see partial clearing and back to the 80’s by Monday.

SUMMARY: A five-alarm fire at the Gentilly Ridge Apartment Complex in New Orleans displaced over 100 residents, including families and formerly homeless tenants. The fire took nearly three hours to control, causing significant damage to one of the three buildings. The American Red Cross, led by regional CEO Kenneth St. Charles, quickly responded by providing temporary shelter, financial assistance, and coordinating with city officials for housing solutions. Residents were transported to Joe Brown Park, where they received meals from Second Harvest Food Bank. Authorities urge the public to donate financially via the Red Cross, as direct supply donations are not accepted at the scene or shelter.

SUMMARY: In June, the Lafayette City Council approved $6.5 million in bonds for LFT Fiber to purchase the former Lemoine building at 214 Jefferson Street, currently its rented headquarters. LUS allocated $3.5 million from reserves for sewer and power line repairs due to stormwater infiltration causing losses and limiting new housing connections. The Council plans to rezone over 30 properties between Mudd Avenue and E. Simcoe Street for mixed commercial and residential use to promote development, despite challenges from a new short-term rental ban. Additionally, the 400 Block of Renaud Drive will shift from industrial to mixed-use zoning. ADA upgrades at Rosa Parks Center are delayed, doubling the timeline from three to six years.
