Gretna, Louisiana – Drivers in southeast Louisiana should prepare for late-day delays Friday as strong thunderstorms target the I-10 corridor near Gretna.
According to the National Weather Service, showers and storms are likely after 4 p.m. Friday with a 70% chance of rain. Thunderstorms may continue through the evening hours, potentially producing gusty winds and localized street flooding in low-lying areas. Areas from Metairie to Harvey could see brief heavy downpours just in time for the Friday rush hour.
Conditions briefly improve Friday night, but another round of storms is expected by Saturday morning. Rain chances remain elevated through Sunday, including on Father’s Day. Outdoor gatherings and barbecues could be interrupted by scattered storms Saturday afternoon and evening, with more activity possible Sunday after 1 p.m.
Residents are urged to check local radar frequently and avoid flooded roads. Use caution when traveling near underpasses and along U.S. 90 and I-10, where water may pool during intense rainfall.
Monday and Tuesday bring no major relief—more scattered showers and storms are likely each afternoon, with daytime highs around 90°F and humid conditions continuing. Winds shift between south and southwest, helping fuel unstable air across the region.
