Severe weather threat remains in place through Saturday morning

A marginal to slight risk for severe storms remains in place Saturday morning as a cold front makes its way through Southwest Louisiana.

The National Weather Service’s Lake Charles office said the weather is expected to be at its worst between 4 a.m. and 10 a.m. Saturday.

“An isolated storm or two ahead of the cold front will be capable of all hazards — including wind, hail and tornados, the office reported.

Some pockets of locally heavy rainfall are possible.
