Weather outlook update

The Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office reports that precipitation has ended across the region and the threat of freezing rain has passed, prompting the cancellation of the Ice Storm Warning and Winter Weather Advisory. However, temperatures are expected to fall below freezing late Sunday, creating the potential for black ice overnight into Monday where standing water remains. Very cold temperatures and dangerous wind chills are also forecast for Sunday night, Monday night, and Tuesday night. Residents are urged to use caution while traveling and remain alert to changing conditions.
