New Orleans and Southern Mississippi Under Coastal Flood Advisory, NWS Cautions on Minor Flooding

The National Weather Service in New Orleans has issued a coastal flood advisory which remains in effect until 6 AM CST this morning, cautioning of minor coastal flooding in parts of southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi. According to the NWS advisory, there is also another advisory set to take place from 9 PM this evening to 6 AM CST Thursday, anticipating similar conditions with less than 1 foot of flooding above normally dry ground.

Residents in the affected areas should prepare to potentially face some inconveniences, as “flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only isolated road closures expected” may occur, the NWS warns. Those needing to travel should plan to possibly detour as some roads may be closed and are advised to not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. It’s essential for locals to quickly take the necessary actions to protect property that is prone to flood.

The weather forecast for New Orleans details mostly sunny skies today with highs near 85 degrees, followed by a mostly cloudy night with lows around 73 degrees. Winds are expected to remain gentle, ushering in a comfortable, yet vigilant atmosphere as the city grapples with potential flooding risks. The extended forecast projects partly sunny days ahead, with increasing chances of showers towards the weekend and maintaining highs in the low 80s, as detailed by NWS.
