Overview
- A strong line hit the New Orleans North Shore in the morning, then moved out by mid‑morning, with gusty winds, frequent lightning and more than an inch of rain reported.
- The Storm Prediction Center keeps a marginal severe risk nearby on Sunday for the Northshore and south Mississippi, where a few storms could bring hail and damaging gusts.
- A cold front will drive a band of scattered showers into Southeast Georgia and the Lowcountry late today into Sunday, but forecasters expect light totals for most locations and little drought relief.
- Parts of Mississippi and Louisiana picked up 1 to 4 inches in the latest round of rain, yet many areas across the Southeast remain very dry with elevated fire danger and burn bans in effect.
- Warmth builds across South Florida, Central Florida and South Texas with highs near 90 and sticky air, with only isolated late‑day showers or storms and a high rip‑current risk for some Palm Beach County beaches.
