Laura made landfall as a category 4 major hurricane with winds of 150 mph along the coast of southwestern Louisiana at 2 a.m. EDT Thursday morning.
The system has weakened but is still impacting our weather.
Dew points in the lower to middle 70s are making it feel very humid outside.
Winds are becoming breezy as the pressure gradient tightens and could gust as high as 30-40 mph overnight into early Saturday morning.
Heavy rain will be possible due to abundant amounts of tropical moisture in the atmosphere and since our ground is already so saturated, flooding will be a concern.
The most widespread rain is expected to move through overnight into Saturday morning.
Rainfall totals are generally expected to be around 1"-2" with higher totals possible.
Although the chances for a severe weather are low, we can never completely rule out the potential for a few storms to produce strong wind gusts. An isolated tornado or two is also not out of the question.
Stay alert to changing weather conditions and be safe if you have any outdoor plans!
