NEW ORLEANS — Louisiana and other Deep South states braced for severe weather on Monday as a line of storms charged across the region.
For southeast Louisiana, the severe risk dropped late Monday night, although an isolated severe storm was possible through the early morning hours of Tuesday.
After an overnight line of showers and storms, rain was expected to end by about 7 am Tuesday.
Much colder air was forecast to rush in Tuesday with temperatures hovering in the 40s and 50s through the day.
Forecasters say about 1 million people live in an area of northeastern Louisiana and southwestern Mississippi that had a moderate chance of dangerous weather on Monday.
