Severe weather chances 'enhanced' for SE Louisiana Saturday

It looks like a line of strong to severe storms will move across SE LA Saturday.

A strong cold front will move into the area on Saturday.

Rain and thunderstorms are possible all day, but the main threat for severe weather and heavy rainfall looks to be from late morning through the afternoon into early evening.

This could be a slow moving system so street flooding will also be a possibility. SE LA and S MS are under a slight risk to enhanced risk of severe storms.

Isolated tornadoes and damaging winds are the main threats. 2-4" of rain possible so flooding also a threat. Keep updated on the radar Saturday.

Windy and much cooler behind the front Sunday. Early clouds will give way to sunshine. Morning lows in upper 40s to low 50s and highs only in mid 60s.
