Will Lake Charles actually see snow this weekend?
For over a week, rumors have been circling that southwest Louisiana will once again see snow.
While it is not going to be the type of snowstorm that Louisiana saw last January, the National Weather Service in Lake Charles is forecasting there is some potential for southwest Louisiana to see some snow Sunday morning.
“A cold front will move through the region (Friday night) into early Saturday morning accompanied by a few showers,” the forecast states. “Lingering moisture behind the cold front may produce a brief period of light snow or flurries early Sunday morning across south central Louisiana.”
Specifically, the forecast states that there is a less than 10% chance of snow with no expected accumulation or travel hazards.
The snow chances are due to a light freeze with wind chills in the low to mid-20s that is expected Saturday night into Sunday morning across the entire region away from the immediate coastline.
The forecast states that the service does not know if snow will actually happen since the precipitation chances are “very low” and that the specific areas that may see snow are unknown, but that lower Acadiana is the most likely.
“Rely on trusted, official sources for weather information, not all social media posts are trustworthy,” the forecast states. “Stay informed by monitoring the forecast for updates and changes.”
Louisiana School Counselor
Pervert’s Suicide Isn’t Justice, Victim’s Bro Says …
School Failed My Sister

A Louisiana school counselor’s death by suicide this week after a warrant for his arrest for inappropriately messaging a minor was issued isn’t justice … so says the victim’s brother who wants more accountability.
Tyler Washington spoke to TMZ about the situation … telling us the death of Quinton Dixon from Baton Rouge doesn’t substitute for justice because his 14-year-old sister still has to carry the weight of the situation on her shoulders forever.
While he declined to say if his family will be pressing charges … he absolutely thinks Westdale Middle Magnet School needs to be held accountable for giving a sicko access to so many minors.
Tyler also tells us how his sister is holding up after the unsettling story, and even shares a surprisingly tender message for Dixon’s family — it’s all in the clip.
We told you all about it — Dixon shot himself in the head on the campus of the now shuttered Glen Oaks Middle School. The Baton Rouge Police Department told TMZ his family is who found him after thinking he might do something extreme. He ended his life the same day a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Authorities say he hit on the minor several times despite knowing she was underage and a former student from his school … allegedly texting her about her sexual orientation and saying she was “cutting up to be so pretty.”
