Meteorologist Zack Fradella is providing us with hopefully some much-needed rainfall. These storms can and have the potential to produce severe weather, dangerous winds, and lightning.
Stay weather aware!

STORM THREAT - Finally…a little shift in the pattern is coming up Friday which may yield severe storms. I’m gaining enough confidence to push rain coverage higher and there will be some intensity with this storm complex. Be ready for a rapid change in weather conditions by Friday late afternoon into the evening, mostly for SE LA. Damaging winds look possible, dangerous lightning and heavy rainfall.
