Please be aware of the upcoming arctic blast, which will be rolling over southeast Louisiana Sunday night into Monday morning during your commute to work. It is likely that we will experience a light freeze, with low temps approaching 34 degrees. Wind chill will be making the “feels-like” temperature in the low to mid 20’s. Please prepare for potential freezes on the interstate, and make sure to take care of your pets and outdoor plants, as these temperatures pose a risk.

Enjoy your weekend to the fullest & come next week with your Christmas spirit turned all the way up 😊
