LANE CLOSURE 🚨

DOTD Announces Emergency Lane Closure on I-49 Southbound in Acadiana

LAFAYETTE/ST. LANDRY PARISH, LA - The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) advises motorists that the southbound right lane of Interstate 49 will be closed from the St. Landry Parish Line to Exit 4 (Carencro).

Due to ongoing resurfacing operations and deteriorating roadway conditions caused by wet weather, the lane closure is necessary to maintain safe travel conditions through the work zone.

HRRR forecast animation runs from Saturday 7:15 AM CDT through Monday 7:00 AM CDT.

A low-end SPC severe weather threat continues for much of south Louisiana for today but should taper off by the mid/late evening hours. A severe storm threat returns statewide for Sunday (Mother's Day)with the higher potential for strong/severe storms over the northern and western parishes. Fortunately, the SPC does not see a significant threat for tornadic storms on either day.

Locally-heavy rains factor into both days as well ... and many southern parishes have already dealt with flooding downpours earlier this morning. The Flash Flood threat should subside somewhat for the rest of Saturday into Saturday night, with a "MARGINAL Risk" for flash flooding across the northern half of the state on Sunday according to the latest WPC outlooks.

Widespread rains of an additional 1" or more between now and Monday mid-day are expected, with locally-higher amounts should storms begin to 'train' over the same locations.
