With Tropical Strom Francine making her way through the Gulf of Mexico toward Louisiana, we are expecting to see more than a few inches of rain over the next 24 hours, and there are a list of streets in Lafayette that are prone to flooding and should be avoided if at all possible once the heavy rains commence.
Low lying areas of Louisiana should be on notice, the next 48 hours could include heavy tropical downpours and potential flooding along the I-10 corridor.
Louisiana won't experience a total washout with this weekend's weather but do expect periods of very heavy rainfall and the possibility of localized flooding.
