South Louisiana should plan for storms this weekend. LSU Public Health Climatologist Barry Keim says a tropical system is working its way west along the Gulf Coast bringing heavy rains and some low-lying areas could see some flooding.
Cut 8 (10) “…kind of flooding.”
Keim says this system has neither the time nor the conditions required to develop into a tropical cyclone.
Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser will lead the newly-formed National Committee on Aerospace, Aviation and Defense and he says while Louisiana has a NASA facility, the state could do so much more.
Cut 13 (10) “…spaceport in Louisiana.”
The committee will hold its first meeting October 20th in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The Procter & Gamble Alexandria Manufacturing plant is hosting its WOW Community Event at the Randolph Riverfront Center Saturday. Kace Kieschnick has more.
Cut 1 (33) “…I’m Kace Kieschnick.”
Earlier this week, we reported the Trump administration released 28-million dollars in previously withheld after-school grants for Louisiana. Now, the Department of Education says it’s going to release an additional 1.3-billion dollars. Michael Faulk, the executive director of the Louisiana School Superintendents Association, says that will get the state closer to the funding it had been expecting.
