Louisiana
What’s the latest forecast for snow, ice, freezing temperatures across Louisiana?
People in parts of Louisiana can “confidently” expect 4 to 6 inches of snow Tuesday with up to 10 inches in some isolated areas, meteorologists said on a Sunday afternoon call with Gov. Jeff Landry and parish presidents.
Most of the heaviest snowfall will blanket areas in the Interstate 10 corridor beginning after midnight Monday entering western Louisiana in Lake Charles and moving through Lafayette and then Baton Rouge with accumulations forecast south of I-10 to New Orleans and north to Alexandria.
Northern Louisiana cities along the I-20 corridor from Shreveport to Ruston to Monroe may avoid any snow or ice in the current forecast, but the entire state will suffer frigid low temperatures in the high teens or 20s that will likely extend through Thursday.
Landry said snow and ice will create treacherous travel conditions in regions where there are accumulations and plunging temperatures could create water pressure and delivery problems throughout the state.
“This is not one of the fun snow events,” Landry said on the call. “It’s a hard freeze event that will be complicated by snowfall.”
Landry has already declared a statewide weather emergency to allow the state to provide direct state assistance at the parish level ahead of the storm.
He has also closed all state offices Tuesday and suggested Sunday those closures could be extended through Wednesday depending on the forecast and Tuesday’s snowfall.
Danielle Manning of the National Weather Service in Slidell said the latest forecast provides “high confidence for a snow or wintry mix Tuesday in the southern part of the state.”
“It’s going to get progressively worse Tuesday and linger into Wednesday,” she said. “Any melting will refreeze Wednesday so the travel impacts could last through Thursday.”
Louisiana Climatologist Jay Grymes agreed, saying there will be a “broad swath of 4 inches plus” of snow along the I-10 corridor.

MONROE, La. (KNOE) – Shelby Bordelon of Iberville Parish was crowned Miss Louisiana 2026 Saturday night in Monroe, earning the title and a $15,000 scholarship. Bordelon, a graduate student at Southeastern Louisiana University, said the role is about more than pageantry, emphasizing the yearlong service mission tied to the crown.
“Part of the mission of this organization is the service behind it,” Bordelon said. “And the service is so important, you are serving your state for a year… having the opportunities to connect with others… to continue making an impact and leaving my mark on others as well.”
Bordelon, who finished first runner-up in last year’s competition, said the moment her name was called as the winner still hasn’t fully sunk in.
“It was every emotion you could think of that was running through my mind at that moment,” she said, adding she focused on preparation and perspective this year. “I really wanted to go into this year with no regrets… just really trusting in that mindset and that plan.”
Bordelon said she hopes to use her platform to raise awareness for her nonprofit, Claire’s Promise, which focuses on combating drunk driving.
