SUMMARY: This morning, thick fog persists across the region, requiring cautious driving until it clears by late morning. Today’s temperatures will rise from the 30s and 40s to the mid-60s by lunch, peaking at 73°F in the afternoon. High pressure will keep conditions stable with calm winds. Tonight’s lows will drop to the mid-40s. Recent rainfall has caused the Was River to rise to around 31 feet, expected to crest at 32 feet this weekend, below action stage. The forecast indicates continued mild weather into next week, with potential light rain and clouds increasing mid-week.

Dense fog has developed this morning with all the leftover moisture in place in the wake of the rain we got on Sunday. Winds are calm, and skies are mostly clear. Patchy fog cannot be ruled out for tonight as there is still plenty of moisture in the air. High pressure will shift further southeast prior to a front arriving late Wednesday night. Clouds will increase, and a patchy shower cannot be ruled out early Thursday morning. Temperatures will stay mild for the rest of the week. More rain seem likely early next week.

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. Haynes, on trial for conspiracy, bribery, money laundering, and obstruction, was previously appointed to run Lafayette’s pretrial diversion program after supporting DA Don Landry. 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.
