Louisiana will get some much needed rain over the next few days. State Climatologist Barry Keim says the majority of the state has been in extreme drought and this rain event will likely to change all of that. He says we’ll be in an incredibly wet pattern until at least Tuesday.

Keim says this is going to take a serious bite out of the drought problems we’ve been having across the state and we can expect to see the majority of the rain early Sunday into Monday. He says the coast will likely get hit the hardest but much of the state will see a couple of inches.

The response from Harry T’s indicated that LSU did not carry a good name at the establishment. The email went “angry viral” and the restaurant is now back peddling big time even offering an LSU scholarship donation. But Bass says he will never be going back to Harry T’s…:

As we head into tomorrow’s October primary, polls have shown Republican David Vitter and Democrat John Bel Edwards in a run-off. But Jeremy Alford, with la-politics-dot-com, says polling data has come out this week that shows Vitter is fighting to secure the second spot in the runoff
A poll conducted by Marblepoint showed Edwards at 41-pecent. Alford says the Amite representative should lead the primary field when the votes are counted on Saturday night…
Alford says with Edwards nearly a lock to make the runoff, the big surprise we could see on Saturday night is whether Republicans Scott Angelle or Jay Dardenne can catch Vitter for the second runoff spot…
