A few scattered showers produce severe thunderstorms across the ArkLaMiss this afternoon and we are anticipating some showers as we continue into the overnight hours. Overnight hours will dip down to the low 70's under partly cloudy skies.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Florida, Alabama and Mississippi launched emergency preparations Saturday ahead of the arrival of Subtropical Storm Alberto, a slow-moving system expected to cause wet misery across the eastern U.S. Gulf Coast over the holiday weekend.
For Saturday and Sunday, Louisiana is offering a tax break on hurricane preparedness items. Things you might need such as flashlights, batteries, walkies-talkies, generators, gas tanks, tarps, and more will all cost you a little less this weekend.
If you look at the forecast plot from the National Hurricane Center, the storm could drive through the Gulf this weekend, and make landfall near the Alabama/Mississippi state lines last Sunday or early Monday.
