From NWS 8/30/26 9pm

We wanted to give you an update this evening on the Tropical Disturbance designated as AL97 off the southeast Louisiana coast. Convection around the system has become better organized this evening and the probability of development into a tropical depression or low end tropical storm has increased to 70 percent.

Due to this, there is a possibility that tropical storm watches and warnings may be issued for portions of the southwest Louisiana and southeast Texas coast later tonight or on Monday morning by 10 am.

We still looking at mainly a rain evening with the potential for urban and street flooding due to high rain rates in the tropical showers and thunderstorms. Some minor wind and surge impacts may occur along the coast late Monday into Tuesday if this system does form into a Tropical Storm.

There is still some uncertainty in the overall track, center point reaching somewhere between the upper Texas coast and lower southwest Louisiana, and the strength between a tropical depression and low end tropical storm.

NWS Lake Charles will host a live social media briefing at 3:00 PM today (8/30) to discuss the latest on tropical disturbance AL97 in the northern gulf and it's expected impacts across the region early this week. The briefings will be broadcast on Facebook, YouTube, and X (links below). Please share this information widely.

🚨 Evangeline Parish 911 is hiring! 🚨

Think you can keep calm when someone calls because “there’s a suspicious raccoon on their porch”? 🦝 or because someone just realizes they were in fact not a race car driver, or help a frantic parent stay calm so she can render aid to her child, the possibilities are endless.

Can you speak clearly while typing, listening, and sipping coffee at the same time? ☕️
Do you enjoy the occasional adrenaline rush without leaving your chair?

We’re looking for a part-time 911 dispatcher — no prior dispatch experience needed (we’ll train you!). You just need a high school diploma or GED, a sharp mind, and a good sense of wanting to help ppl… because trust us, you’ll hear it all.

📧 Email your resume to [email protected] or [email protected]
Questions? Same email.

Join us. Your community needs you… and maybe that raccoon does too. 🦝📞
