hail

The weekend ended with some nasty storms pushing across some parts of Louisiana.

Hailstones in excess of one inch in diameter are possible in today's severe weather outbreak forecast for Louisiana and the Gulf South.

Hundreds of the faithful felt the spike-shaped ice crystals were a sign from God that they should be staying inside during the coronavirus pandemic.

Several Louisiana communities are cleaning up after high winds, heavy rain, and hail pelted portions of the state over the weekend.

Sunny skies and a very brisk northerly breeze will greet you later today. That's a welcome change from yesterday's storms.

We've had quite an eventful day across Acadiana today with weather, and there's more on the way. So far, we've dealt with hail, flooding, 60mph winds and tornadoes. One Acadiana motorist was caught on Highway 90 during one of the hail storms and caught it all on his dash cam.

There were several reports of hail. There were, even more, reports of heavy rainfall and flooding. There were reports of strong gusty winds. Sadly, there were reports of fatalities. This is all in conjunction with a well-anticipated storm system that is currently moving out of Acadiana and into Southeastern Louisiana and Southwest Mississippi...

That was the sound of hail you heard on your roof this morning. It's not over, there is still a significant threat we could see more severe weather today.

Ice on the roads isn't our biggest problem with frozen precipitation. In Louisiana we've got a much bigger problem with hailstones.
