A Heat Advisory is in effect for most of the state today beginning at noon, with the exception of coastal parishes. High temperatures are slated to reach the mid 90s, with heat index values likely climbing to above 105 in many areas. And don’t expect rain to bring much relief today as forecasters have reduced the chance for showers to 20%.

Louisianans are seeing lots of relief at the pump certainly compared to a month ago. The current statewide average stands at $4.06, down 46 cents this time in June.
