Today is the final day for residents of southeast Louisiana to finish any preparations for what could be a snow event to remember.
Expected snowfall levels have prompted officials at the local National Weather Service office to issue a winter storm warning in effect from midnight Tuesday to midnight Wednesday.
"Forecasted snowfall totals have increased as well with a much larger part of the area expected to see totals in the 4-6" range now. Some areas could see higher amounts, possibly in excess of 10", where any heavier snow bands set up. Any of those amounts, depending on the location, would easily rank among the highest one-day totals in history for our area," said the NWS Monday morning.
