Possible Weather Event This Weekend

Good morning church family,

Latest reports from local meteorologists suggest the strong possibility of a winter weather storm event this weekend. Below is a statement from Fox’s Zack Fradella:

A HIGH IMPACT weather event is coming to Louisiana this weekend. The approaching winter storm is likely to produce an ice storm that will shut down everything for several days, knock out power and make for some dangerous cold weather.

Multiple things need to be addressed here. We have high confidence this is going to happen. Some of the small details need to be ironed out like how far south will the freezing line get? Ice potential could extend down to I-10 in portions of Louisiana.

This is not going to be fun. This is not going to be a big snow day. Ice is dangerous, especially this level of ice accumulation. If I live along the I-20 corridor, I would prepare like a hurricane is coming. Expect to lose power, expect to lose it for several days. That means no heat for days while temperatures dip into the teens. Trees and power lines will likely break and fall due to the weight of the ice.

You will NOT be traveling this weekend. From Texas to the Carolinas and everywhere in between, this will be a large winter storm. If you stay far enough south, MAYBE you can still go about your travel plans but going north will NOT be happening.

Stay tuned for updates to the forecast!

We are sending you this information just so that everyone can be prepared. We urge everyone to get weather aware and stay tuned to local news outlets for information on any changes to these forecasts. A final determination on Worship this weekend will be made as the week progresses and more information is distributed.
