Two LSU researchers have found that when the National Hurricane Center posts their predictions for hurricane season there are big differences between storms born in the Atlantic Ocean and those in the Gulf of Mexico.
The new National Hurricane Center path of Tropical Storm Nicholas has the storm skirting the coast before entering Louisiana which may mean more rain for SWLA tomorrow.
Tropical Storm Nicholas has much of SWLA is under a flash flood warning, and due to the potential threat, FEMA's Recovery Service at the Civic Center closed.
Due to the uncertain path of Tropical Storm Nicholas, the threat of flash floods across SWLA, Calcasieu School Board officials decided to keep schools closed.
Nicholas is expected to bring widespread flooding and has the possibility of becoming a hurricane in the next few days. CPSB will update school status Monday.
