NEW SITE, NEW SPONSORS!

It's been a busy day at The Digital Weather Desk.

We confirmed a new camera site in Ruston a few hours ago.

This afternoon, we're excited to announce a new camera site, and the local businesses making it possible.

Lake D'Arbonne, we're coming for you!

Coming soon, everyone on Lake D'Arbonne will enjoy scenic sunrises/sunsets, but also receive beneficial weather information that is critical for anyone using one of our most popular waterways. Lightning data, UV index, and rain totals will all prove helpful in keeping the ArkLaMiss safe and informed.
