Louisiana is bracing for another active hurricane season; if anything can tame the tropics, it's the plume of dust that comes off the African coast, the Sarahan Dust.
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.
Strong storms are marching southward across Louisiana as a cold front, yes a cold front, brings a break in the heat for the Gulf South over the next few days.
