Hazardous Weather Outlook issued 217 am June 26 by National Weather Service forecast center in New Orleans
HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM THIS MORNING TO 7 PM CDT THIS EVENING...Heat index values near 108 expected in portions of southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi. Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat
illnesses.
Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Take extra precautions when outside. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing. Try to limit strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Take action when you see symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

From The Sensors provisional data on river flooding from the network of USGS streamflow monitors
Seventy-three streamflow gauges indicate flooding in the USA Wednesday, down from seventy-four Tuesday. The majority of these floods are occurring in Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota and Nebraska. Within the WT coverage area New York, Ohio, Georgia and Louisiana, one last location records flow above flood stage, that being on Sabine River in Louisiana.
Louisiana: Region 4 border river Sabine continues to run over flood stage in the lower channel near the outlet in Gulf of Mexico. Flow recorded near Ruliff, TX has not changed in the last two days, still showing provisional reading of seven inches above the channel. Provisional reading to be confirmed, more to follow. Water level at the flood site and flow volume are updated daily, see the black tag here.
Drinking Water Advisories
St Tammany Parish issued a Boil Water Advisory Sunday following a break to the 2" Water Main on the corner of Progress & Dahlia St. The advisory impacts customers connecting on Progress and Dahlia Streets only, until further notice.
Lafourche Parish: Thibodaux came under a BWA Sunday impacting all residential and wholesale customers connecting east of Audubon Avenue at North/South Acadia Road. The customers impacted by this BWA include Thibodaux Regional Health /Wellness Center, Acadia Point Subdivision, Acadia Plantation Subdivision, Acadia Woods Subdivision, Acadia Villa Apartments, Plantation Trace/Erwin Drive Apartments, Rouses Market, and surrounding businesses. Nicholls State University is not included in the advisory.
As many drinking water facilities are supplied from surface water reservoirs, the streamflow situation is pertinent to both drinking water supply and quality. High flows can stir up sediment and cause turbidity in the reservoirs, requiring additional treatments to render the water potable. Low flow volume is linked to warmer temperatures in the reservoir and can be an issue for water quality where HABs are present. WT tracks streamflow trends with an eye to the impacts on drinking water supply and quality in each of the state's watersheds. Check the watershed layer on the map to see the direction of flow and streamflows that may be impacting drinking water today.
USGS Provisional Data Statement
Data are provisional and subject to revision until they have been thoroughly reviewed and received final approval. Current condition data relayed by satellite or other telemetry are automatically screened to not display improbable values until they can be verified.
Provisional data may be inaccurate due to instrument malfunctions or physical changes at the measurement site. Subsequent review based on field inspections and measurements may result in significant revisions to the data.
Data users are cautioned to consider carefully the provisional nature of the information before using it for decisions that concern personal or public safety or the conduct of business that involves substantial monetary or operational consequences. Information concerning the accuracy and appropriate uses of these data or concerning other hydrologic data may be obtained from the USGS.
