Sunshine is breaking through the this midday... as a line of heavy rain and thunderstorms pushes off of coastal Louisiana. Today, we will start to see clearing skies and temperatures in the 70s. Cool tonight with temperatures in the 50s north of the lake, 60s south.

Last night, the northshore got pounded with heavy thunderstorms that would not let up in areas such as Folsom, Loranger and a line from Livingston to Washington Parish.

Today, a line of heavy rain and thunderstorms out ahead of a cold front to our West pounded both portions of the northshore and southshore. Up to 2" of rain fell across the area. Storm reports included two damaged homes near Larose, and a roof that was blow off a house in Larose. Also, portions of highway 40 near Folsom are closed due to the flooding rainfall last night.

For a complete list of rainfall amounts and storm reports, turn to Channel 4 Eyewitness News at 5pm. I will list the reports here in my blog after the 5pm newscast.
