Severe thunderstorms could threaten much of Louisiana by mid-week

Much of Acadiana should prepare for the potential threat of severe thunderstorms by midweek.

Forecasts say there will be severe thunderstorms in much of Louisiana through Wednesday afternoon into the early hours of Wednesday evening.

According to forecasts I’ve seen, the biggest threat could be damaging winds and the low risk of tornadoes embedded in storms as they push through the area.

While flooding doesn’t seem to be a major issue as this cold front pushes through the area on Wednesday, we still want to be on the alert.
