SUMMARY: Meteorologist Chase Ward reports light showers, mainly drizzles, affecting parts of Louisiana, particularly in Watchop Harish and Union Parish. More rain and thunderstorms are expected today, with temperatures in the mid-70s, rising to the mid-80s later. A cold front on the weekend is anticipated to lower temperatures into the lower 80s by early next week, with overnight lows in the upper 50s. Rainfall could reach 2-4 inches in certain areas, posing risks for excessive rainfall and poor driving conditions. The main focus is on widespread thunderstorms and heavy downpours continuing into tomorrow, so umbrellas are essential.

Patchy drizzle has started to pop up this morning. Clouds have already rolled in and will stay cloudy throughout the day. Rain and t-storms are expected to start as early as lunch time and will last throughout the afternoon and evening. Excessive rain is possible for areas south of I-20 as a series of upper level disturbances continue to bring more rain through tomorrow. Showers will linger into early Friday, but temperatures will trend cooler. A cold front looks to arrive during the weekend dropping temperatures to the lower 80’s for daytime highs and we could see overnight lows fall to the upper 50’s early next week.

SUMMARY: Hannah Landon was found guilty of first-degree murder and two counts of obstruction of justice for the death of 6-year-old Bella Fontenelle. Bella’s body was discovered in a bucket outside her mother’s home two years ago. The jury deliberated for less than an hour before reaching the verdict. During the trial, defense arguments questioned Landon’s mental state at the time of the crime, while a state psychologist testified she knew right from wrong. The judge decided not to pursue the death penalty, and Landon faces life in prison with no parole. Sentencing is scheduled for May 7th.

Sentencing is set for Tuesday, May 6, at 9 a.m.

SUMMARY: A jury convicted Landon, the girlfriend of a six-year-old girl’s father, of first-degree murder after the child’s death. The girl, Bella Fontanel, was strangled, placed in a bucket, and left on her mother’s lawn. Despite an insanity plea, the jury found Landon guilty on all counts after less than an hour of deliberation, sentencing her to mandatory life without parole. Prosecutors described Landon as calculated and bitter, motivated by tensions with Bella’s father. Emotional testimonies and evidence showed premeditation. Landon remained silent during the trial. Sentencing is scheduled in five days in Jefferson Parish.

SUMMARY: The San Antonio Missions are partnering with Operation Gratitude to give back to the community by assembling care packages for joint-base San Antonio Lackland graduates. The team, along with the San Diego Padres, made a monetary donation and helped pack items like snacks, personal care products, and letters from across the U.S. These efforts support military personnel in the local area, aligning with San Antonio’s “Military City, USA” identity. In addition to the charity work, the Missions are facing the Corpus Christi Hooks in a home series, with promotional events like discounted tickets, giveaways, and military appreciation activities.
